Bengals Beat: Team will use a 'heavy dose' of Jeremy Hill in Week 12

Beat writer Coley Harvey on the role of Giovani Bernard if he makes his return in Week 12: With the Bengals taking his rehab slowly, I can't imagine he'll play his regular load, and I can't imagine he'll be taking the pounding up the middle that he had before. The Bengals have been able to absorb Bernard's loss quite well. Rookie Jeremy Hill has been better than advertised, ripping off a pair of 150-yard rushing performances in his absence. It's not far-fetched to make the claim right now that Hill is the best running back the Bengals have. That said, Bernard is the starter, and has ability in the pass-catching game that Hill and others don't. You'll see a heavy dose of Hill on Sunday. But if Bernard does play, it might not be the role Bengals fans are used to.

Fantasy Impact: 

We currently have Hill ranked several spots ahead of Bernard, who will likely be limited in his first game back. Hill is a solid RB2 while Bernard is more of a RB3/flex-type this week.

Bengals OC: Jeremy Hill 'has earned the right to play'

This is one of those rare situations when fans, media and coaches are all on the same page. Even as starting back Giovani Bernard starts returning from a series of injuries, the ball clearly deserves to be in Jeremy Hill's hands more than before.

Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Hue Jackson said Wednesday that it will be.

"He deserves it," Jackson said.

"Jeremy has done tremendous [work] and he has earned the right to play, there's no question about that," Jackson said.

"It's going to be hard for me to just say, 'Let's thrust him in there again and let him go again,'" Jackson said of Bernard. "We've got to work him back into our process and how we do things. What will determine that is just how fast and how we think he is ready to go. He had a tremendous practice [Wednesday] and we'll see where this thing goes."

Fantasy Impact: 

Bernard averaged 18.7 touches per game in the first seven games, while Hill averaged 9.0 touches in the same span. We're expecting Hill to lead the team in touches in Week 12, and the duo will move a 50/50 split as Bernard gets fully healthy.

Bengals RB Giovani Bernard (hip) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Bernard will likely make his return against the Texans, though we don’t know what type of workload he’ll see in his first game back. Jeremy Hill has been running well (5.73 YPC in the last three games), so the team may elect to ease Bernard back in as Hill’s backup.

Giovani Bernard expected back Week 12

Bengals RB Giovani Bernard is expected back this week after missing the last three games.

Fantasy Impact: 

It's going to be interesting to see how this works out. Jeremy Hill, who the story is mainly about, has been filling in well for Bernard, averaging over 5.7 yards per rush over the last three games. There have been rumblings that this situation will lean more toward a committee when both are healthy. It would make sense that Bernard is a factor in the passing game while Hill gets short-yardage duty. However, Hill has proven to be a good early-down back too, which is bad news for Bernard from a fantasy perspective. The Bengals play at Houston in Week 12.
