Giovani Bernard is a 2021 fantasy football draft sleeper at running back and an ADP draft value. Target Bernard as an undervalued RB in fantasy football drafts.
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~160 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~176
ANALYSIS: For years, Giovani Bernard was a thorn in Joe Mixon's side. Despite being a valuable running back, Bernard was out there in passing situations and the two-minute offense. At age 29, Bernard is now in Tampa Bay, and reports out of camp have him pegged with a similar role to James White in New England during the Brady era.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said running back Giovani Bernard "has been pretty good" and is "going to be a major part of this offense." He has been a standout in training camp and is expected to have a vital role in the offense in 2021. Leonard Fournette and Ronald Jones figure to see most of the early-down work while Bernard handles third-down snaps. Based on Arians' recent comments, the 29-year-old could see some early-down work as well.
Bernard has more fantasy value in PPR formats, especially with Tom Brady frequently targeting running backs in the passing game. The veteran RB's ADP is 175, and that's a cheap draft-day price to pay for a potential PPR contributor within the RB3/FLEX range. It's a nice flier to take in the later-rounds of PPR drafts.
