Joe Mixon, Cincinnati Bengals

Stats: 866 rushing yards, 6 touchdowns, 283 receiving yards, 1 touchdown

We just love this matchup between the Raiders and the Bengals on Sunday. Both defenses are terrible. The Raiders come into Week 15 at 31st-ranked against the rush. Joe Mixon is averaging 105 yards from scrimmage, while the Raiders give up an average of 144.5 rushing yards per game. This is just beautiful.

Now, we need to note that some games don’t go as planned. This game should produce some great fantasy football production. Hopefully a lot of you have Mixon on your rosters. This guy can ball out at any moment. Week 15 is a fantastic opportunity for him to help your team get to the championship game. If you don’t utilize him this week you might regret it. These are the guys who help us win down the stretch.

Mixon’s floor for this game based upon average production this season is roughly 14 points. These are based on PPR scoring. If this guy’s floor is 14 points and you’re in a 10 or 12-team league, sign us up! This is your big chance to either win that very first championship or add to your trophy case. Just to help you guys understand how juicy this matchup is for both teams, they are both allowing around 400 yards per game to opposing offenses.

Prediction: 150 rushing yards, 25 receiving yards, 2 total touchdowns
