While the preseason hype seemed to be leaning towards rookie Jeremy Hill getting the bulk of the carries for the Bengals, it seemed like the incumbent, Bernard, was still the man in Cincinati’s victory over Baltimore.
Bernard received all of the Bengals’ red-zone carries, and finished with a respectable 10 fantasy points against a Ravens team that is notoriously stingy against the run.
Expect things to be a lot easier for Bernard in week two against a Falcons team that ranked second worst in the NFL in yards-per-carry allowed last season.
Bernard can get you a good fantasy outing in one play, so definitely feature him in your lineup this week.
