Who Should I Start? Joe Mixon or Brian Robinson Jr.

Sunday, October 1, 9:04 PM

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon ran for 67 yards off 14 carries during the loss to the Titans on Sunday. He added a catch for nine yards. The former Oklahoma Sooner found the end zone for the first time this season in the win over the Rams on Monday night. However, he failed to score a touchdown in Week 4, which has been the norm throughout the year. At this point, many have lost patience with Mixon, especially after coming off a subpar 2022-23 campaign. But his ceiling is still higher than most in the National Football League, so it will be hard to bench him against the Cardinals in Week 5.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. had 14 carries for 45 yards and a touchdown along with two receptions for six yards in Sunday's overtime loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. During an outing where he was mostly bottled up, the second-year back salvaged his day with a 15-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter. His performance could've been even better if he hadn't fumbled at the goal line prior to what likely would've been a rushing touchdown in the first quarter. Robinson will aim to have a better day against the Chicago Bears in Week 5, a team that has been below average against the run this season.
