CIN RB Giovani Bernard - Week 13, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13: Bernard vs Buccaneers

The Bengals were supposed to ease Giovani Bernard back into the game plan but it appeared they didn't wait. He had 19 touches (same as Jeremy Hill) and looked healthy. Expect more of the same as Cincy wants to use both backs as much as possible.

Bernard will be the starter on paper and might help PPR teams out a little more than Hill, but both are great fantasy options in Week 13. The Bengals face the Bucs who are 25th in aFPA to running backs so start Bernard as a low-end RB2 against Tampa.

CIN RB Giovani Bernard - Week 12, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12: Bernard vs Texans

Giovani Bernard is expected to return after missing three weeks with hip injury. Jeremy Hill has filled in nicely in Bernard's absence and will probably be the starter on Sunday. Bernard will be eased back in so expect some touches but not what we saw before the injury. In fact, don't expect those type of touches the rest of the season as Hill will more involved.

Bernard will see enough action to warrant a start as a flex or RB3. The Texans are 23rd in aFPA to running backs so the advantage leans towards Bernard and Hill.

CIN RB Giovani Bernard - Week 9, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9: Bernard vs Jaguars
The touches were back last week for Giovanni Bernard and although the overall numbers weren't great, he did get into the end zone. Bernard's rushing numbers have been all over the board, but it's the receiving numbers we thought would put him in a Matt Forte-type category. He has four catches for 1 yard over the last two weeks.

The Bengals face Jacksonville who is 19th in aFPA to running backs. But will Bernard even play? He is hurting from a hip injury and has not practiced this week. It's looking unlikely that Bernard will suit up, meaning Jeremy Hill will get a heavy workload.

CIN RB Giovani Bernard - Week 8, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8: Bernard vs Ravens
Along with the rest of the Bengals, Giovanni Bernard had his worst game of the season last week. We will put that aside as we don't expect that to become a trend.

During the first meeting, Bernard had 110 yards from scrimmage and a season-high six catches. The Ravens are ranked 1st in aFPA to running backs so it is not a favorable matchup for Bernard, but he still will do enough to warrant a start as a solid RB2.

CIN RB Giovani Bernard - Week 7, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7: Bernard vs Colts
Giovanni Bernard is nursing a bad shoulder which forced him to leave last week's game against Carolina. He did return, but the Bengals are listing him as questionable for Week 7.

We expect him to play which will be a good thing for his owners consider Indy is 31st in aFPA to running backs. Bernard is definitely an RB1 for Week 7 so make sure he is in your lineup in every league and format.

CIN RB Giovani Bernard - Week 6, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6: Bernard vs. Panthers
Giovanni Bernard has had two very average games, and he has not been involved passing game which was supposed to be a strength and was evident in the first two games.

That could change this week as the Bengals play Carolina who has not been able to stop running backs. Bernard is one of the best plays for Week 6. Start in all leagues and formats as a top 5 fantasy running back.

CIN RB Giovani Bernard - Week 3, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3: Bernard vs Titans
The Bengals loved it when they selected Giovanni Bernard in the 2013 draft. Last week was a good reason why. Bernard had 27 carries and five catches and also reached the end zone for his first touchdown this season.

Bernard is turning into a Matt Forte type back. He fits into exactly what Cincinnati wants to do offensively. Now, the numbers might have been a little inflated last week because of the absence of AJ Green. But Bernard is still a stud.

Start him as a top 5 back against Titans whose run defense is not very good. Great matchup for Bernard.
