START ‘EM – RB

Giovani Bernard. 2. player. 56. . Running Back. Bengals

With Joe Mixon out until further notice, Giovani Bernard gets the bulk of the carries in Cincinnati and that’s great for those who were smart and picked him up on the waiver wire. Bernard rewarded those people, putting up a 19 spot in ESPN leagues.

This week, Bernard will face a Falcons defense that, according to Michael Fabiano of NFL.com, has been not so good against the run. Per Fabiano,

"Next on the schedule is a matchup against the Falcons, who have surrendered an average of 167.3 scrimmage yards and 35.4 PPR points per game to opposing running backs in 2018."

Mixon won’t be out too much longer, so those of you who got Bernard off waivers, enjoy this ride while it lasts.
