Giovani Bernard Expected To Play Sunday
4 years agoCincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard (concussion) is practicing in full on Friday and is expected to play in Week 12 against the Giants. Bernard is officially listed as questionable, but fantasy managers should consider him on the right side of that designation. He should continue to see the lion's share of touches in the backfield with Joe Mixon on Injured Reserve, but Bernard's fantasy ceiling could be capped with Brandon Allen taking over under center after rookie quarterback Joe Burrow (knee) suffered a season-ending injury in Week 11. Bernard disappointed last week against Washington, carrying the ball nine times for 18 yards and catching four passes for 37 yards. He's more of an RB3/flex for fantasy managers in PPR leagues against New York and a defense that has allowed the ninth-most fantasy points per game to RBs.
