Giovani Bernard (RB, CIN) - Fantasy Football PPR Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target ~130

CURRENT ADP: ~150

ANALYSIS: Why doesn’t Giovani Bernard get any love? In 2017, in games that only he and Mixon played (no Jeremy Hill), he averaged 11.33 fantasy points per game putting him at a solid flex level. However, in the two games Mixon missed, plus the Week 15 game when he left after a quarter, Bernard had 48 carries, 208 yards and two touchdowns. He also added 16 catches for 133 yards. Thats 62.1 PPR points or 20.7 PPR points per game.

Those are elite running back numbers. So what does this mean for 2018? It means when you draft Gio you are at worst getting a solid weekly flex player, who also has elite running back upside if Mixon gets hurt.

This is the kind of handcuff you want to draft - one who can help you now and can win your league later. At his current ADP, it's an easy pick to make, especially in PPR leagues, as you round out the end of your roster and add running back depth.
