Summary
Host Ian Hartitz breaks down Joe Mixon's fantasy outlook ahead of the 2021 season. Many have been fading Mixon in fantasy land due to his injury-induced letdown in 2021, but Ian shows that he's consistently been a borderline RB1 since landing the starting job in 2018. The factors that held Mixon back from soaring even higher were a mix of bad offensive line play, questionable performance under center and a lack of opportunity in the passing game; there's a better than good chance that each of these variables swing positively in Mixon's favor ahead of 2021. Despite largely looking at the most fantasy-friendly workload of his career, Mixon continues to go undervalued in fantasy land. He deserves to be treated as a top-12 RB and has the potential to finish among the position's very best performers next season.

| 0:42.2 | And with that, he has never been bad at football, which is why it's confusing to me. |
| 0:47.0 | When people, you know, and I say, hey, Mixon had all these touches last year. |
| 0:50.6 | He's a value at ADP and everyone's, you know, hitting me with the Michael Scott. |

| 0:58.4 | I hear this every single year. |

| 1:08.7 | RB1s were. |
| 1:09.7 | Now last year, unfortunately, limited to fewer than 14 games for the first time in his career. |
