@Daniielsen1 – I’m guessing it has to do with opportunity. Mixon probably has a higher upside due to the better offense in Cincinnati leading to more scoring opportunities versus that of Las Vegas. Mixon has also “almost scored” seven times getting tackled within 5 yards of goal line compared to Jacobs’ three times.
So Jacobs is Mixon just better. He gets all the work, like exactly the same work as Nixon but looks good and rushes over 5 yards per carry.
Can you please explain this to me?
All the problems with Jacobs in the past were just about his usage. Now he is getting it but you still would take Mixon over him?
At least put him top 24? I really want to know why you don’t feel confident about him.
