Is Joe Mixon worth adding off fantasy football waiver wire in Week 5?

Here's what RB-needy teams should be doing with Joe Mixon on the waiver wire in Week 5.

Is Joe Mixon worth adding off fantasy football waiver wire in Week 5?

The Seattle Seahawks have signed veteran running back Joe Mixon to their practice squad. ESPN’s Brady Henderson reported that Mixon passed his physical, indicating he’s past his foot injury that kept him off the field last season. The signing follows an injury to the Seahawks’ starter, Jadarian Price, who is on injured reserve with a chest issue.

Zach Charbonnet, the team’s injured tight end, is also expected to return soon after his 21-day practice window was opened. The situation leaves the Seahawks with three healthy running backs: Emanuel Wilson, George Holani, and Velus Jones Jr. This has prompted them to sign Mixon. Mixon, who has strong production history, including five 1,000-yard seasons, could play a significant role in Seattle’s backfield, especially with Price and Charbonnet’s uncertain recoveries.

While Mixon’s potential remains a wildcard, adding him to a roster with available roster space could prove advantageous.
