Cincinnati Bengals

Joe Mixon ruled out, Gio to start
Mixon misses practice all week
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 8 2017, 11:45 am

The Bengals have ruled out six of their starters for Sunday's game against the Bears, including five on defense. Vontaze Burfict, Dre Kirkpatrick and Joe Mixon all sustained concussions on Monday, while cornerback Adam Jones injured his groin early in the game. Linebacker Nick Vigil and safety Shawn Williams had injuries prior to Monday night's game and have been ruled out as well. (ESPN)

FFToday's Take: Mixon missed practice all week and will be inactive in Week 14. Giovani Bernard will get the start and likely see the majority of snaps for the Bengals against the Browns. Brian Hill will serve in a backup role but isn't a fantasy option. With a solid RB2 outlook and upside for more, Gio will be a popular play in DFS and season-long leagues.
