6 years agoCincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard (ankle) was able to take part in a full practice session for the second consecutive day on Friday and he was removed from the injury report leading up to the Week 3 game against the Carolina Panthers. With Joe Mixon (knee) ruled out, Bernard is expected to do the heavy lifting. The team waived Tra Carson earlier this week, bringing in Thomas Rawls for veteran depth at the position. However, he won't be up to speed with the playbook, so it should be Bernard seeing a healthy amount of touches. Treat him as an RB3 in standard fantasy leagues and a legit low-end RB2 or flex option in PPR. He is also a strong DFS play even though Carolina sports a solid D.--Daniel Dobish
