Top RBs To Start in Week 16
Joe Mixon, Cincinnati Bengals (at PIT)
The Pittsburgh Steelers have become a must-target run defense of late, and given the form of Joe Mixon, there’s no way around ranking him as an RB1 in this spot. After giving up north of 20 fantasy points to both Ezekiel Elliott and James Conner, Pittsburgh allowed the backup tandem of Trey Sermon/Tyler Goodson to run for 157 yards while filling in for Zack Moss (arm).

When it comes to Mixon, the veteran has scored four times in the past three weeks and has found the end zone at least once in seven of his past eight. With this offense employing a conservative game plan with Jake Browning under center, Mixon’s role is nothing short of elite, and he should continue to guide your fantasy team!
