Cincinnati Bengals wideout Tyler Boyd has a simple message for those who sleep on running back Joe Mixon or omit him from best-of lists this offseason:
Stop it.
Mixon has popped up all over the place in various running back rankings this offseason, usually in the top 10. Sometimes he’s not — ESPN thinks he’ll finish outside the top-10 scorers at his position in the fantasy football realm.
And sometimes rankings outright just omit Mixon, opting for others like Derrick Henry and Dalvin Cook. One such set of rankings recently came out from analysts at NFL Network and Boyd was quick to hop online and offer his take:
Mixon is one of the NFL’s best, so much so Bill Belichick said he might be the best outright.
Given what Mixon has accomplished despite his surrounding circumstances such as a bad offensive line, it’s hard to disagree with Boyd here. With improved line and quarterback play, the Bengals hope it will be impossible to leave Mixon off these sorts of lists in the future.
