Joe Mixon (RB, Cincinnati Bengals):

Mixon finally had his breakout game after he rushed for 114 yards and a touchdown against the Browns in week 12 while also snapping Bengals' 7-game streak without 100 rushing yards.

He is currently averaging 13.7 touches and 44 rushing yards per game at 3.2 yards per attempt. Mixon has also been targeted regularly in the receiving game with 2.4 receptions and 23.5 receiving yards per game.

While he has been Bengals go-to back this season, his performances haven't set the stage alight but his week 12 performance might just be the confidence booster he needed to up his game.

Coming into week 13, Mixon has had two 20+ touches games against the Broncos and the Browns. This week he faces a Steelers defense which was run over by another rookie Jamaal Williams in week 12. With the volume that Mixon is getting in the backfield, expect a big game from him this weekend.
