It seems quite certain the Giovani Bernard has regained the starting duties from sophomore RB Jeremy Hill in Cincinnati. Bernard managed 101 yards on 20 touches compared to just 25 yards on nine touches for Hill. This game comes to the dismay of owners who spent an early draft pick on a now-backup running back.
Andy Dalton is enjoying a career season thus far, meaning the Bengals will continue to throw the ball while their quarterback continues to succeed. All of this spells trouble for Hill, who should now be benched in most leagues until things turn around. Bernard, on the other hand, is a must start against the Bills Week 6. Rex Burkead carried the ball once, lost yards and fumbled. Don't expect to see him again any time soon.
After an electric Week 4 performance from Duke Johnson, Isaiah Crowell led the Browns backfield in touches, yards and touchdowns in Week 5 against the Ravens. Johnson saw most of his action in the receiving game, making him the more appealing option in PPR formats.
Even so, the rookie has great breakout potential and it is only a matter of time before he takes the reigns from Crowell. For now, Crowell remains the starting back. He piled up 87 yards on 15 touches and scored a crucial touchdown in the Browns overtime victory in Baltimore.
