He's started the year catching 7, 3 and 3 balls and was a recipient of 7 targets last week. Last season he ended the year clearing this number in 5/6 games and as this season continues were looking for the Bengals to mimic more of the team that won the AFC, not the one that lost their first two. A steady whooping of the Jets saw the Bengals offense get right, with Burrow throwing for 275 yards.
Mixon's Rec yards line is set at 20.5 which seems low considering the Dolphins just gave up 78 yards on 9 catches to Devin Singletary and the high powered Bills. Over his L10 when he has gone over 20.5 (his lowest over was 26) he caught 4 balls in 5 of them. There will be plenty of air yards to go around for all the Bengals pass catchers as the Dolphins have given up 400 to Allen, 318 to Lamar, and 213 to Mac freakin' Jones. Burrow and Mixon have good rapport and I expect him to clear both of these numbers. A week after seeing 7 targets vs a team that gives up passing yards, theres no reason to not go back to the well.
