Joe Mixon expected to play in Week 5

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport is reporting Bengals RB Joe Mixon (ankle) is expected to play in Week 5.

Fantasy Impact: Mixon did not practice this week due to an ankle injury but did participate in Saturday’s workout. While he won’t be 100 percent full health, Mixon is in line to play. He could be limited which means be wary about starting him in fantasy. Samaje Perine will likely see an increased snap and opportunity share in Week 5 against the Packers.
