Giovani Bernard (RB, CIN) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Rounds 5-6 as RB2

Current ADP: 74 STD, 56, PPR

ANALYSIS: Giovani Bernard lost his starting job to Jeremy Hill quicker than many had imagined, but for good reason.  Hill was an absolute force down the stretch, and while Bernard’s season totals look strong, he really struggled to pick up consistent yards. Bernard is still an excellent receiving back, however, and should have no problem seeing 12-15 touches per game in a run-heavy Hue Jackson offense. In 13 games last year, Bernard averaged 16 touches a game, and his targets actually increased as the year progressed, even with the emergence of Hill. Bernard is still an incredibly talented young back, and he is capable of a top-20 PPR season and a top-25 standard season in a secondary role. His yards per carry/catch next year should increase as he becomes a full-time change-of-pace player.
