5 years agoCincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard will have a big Week 2 if Joe Mixon misses the game because of his ankle injury. Mixon's status will need to be monitored throughout Sunday morning, but if he misses the game, Bernard will be a must-start fantasy running back in leagues of all sizes. Bernard made two starts in place of Mixon in 2018, and in those spots he touched the ball 36 times for 182 total yards and three touchdowns. The Week 2 matchup looks good for the Bengals running game, as the San Francisco 49ers Defense gave up 121 rushing yards on 26 attempts (4.7 yards per carry) to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 1.--Mike Riggall - RotoBaller
