Who Should I Start? Joe Mixon or Devon Achane

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.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane took eight carries for 101 yards and two touchdowns with three catches for 19 yards in Week 4's 48-20 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Achane picked up right where he left off from last Sunday's outburst, hitting paydirt on his first two touches with both seeing Tyreek Hill act as a decoy. But as both offenses calmed after scoring five touchdowns on the game's first five drives, so did Achane's usage. The speedy rookie was still able to show off his wheels on a neat 55-yard run in the face of the rout. Achane out-touched Raheem Mostert (who fumbled twice Sunday) 11-10, which is a promising sight for those who broke the FAAB bank to claim him off waiver wires. It remains to be seen what kind of role Miami has in store for Jeff Wilson Jr. (ribs), who might be on the cusp of a return. Achane's weekly home-run potential should keep him in RB2 territory, regardless.
