The Cincinnati Bengals will take on the Buffalo Bills for Week 9’s edition of Sunday Night Football. The Bengals’ offense didn’t start as we all expected it to, but has started looking more like the high-octane offense we are accustomed to. Cincy could be missing a big piece in the backfield as starting running back Joe Mixon is listed as questionable.
Bengals RB Joe Mixon (chest) is officially listed as questionable but he will be good to go on Sunday. Was a full participant at practice the last two days.

Fantasy football implications for Week 9
It feels strange that the Bengals listed Mixon as questionable when he was a full practice participant the last two days of the week. It sounds like he is going to play on Sunday night, and if he does, you can start him in your Week 9 fantasy football lineups.
If Mixon doesn’t play, the backfield will likely be split between Trayveon Williams and Chris Evans. This limits the upside of both players and means you should keep them out of your lineups unless you are in a 14-team league or higher.
