Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis told reporters that Giovani Bernard and Mark Walton will "shoulder the load for the next few weeks" as the team is without starter Joe Mixon. (Ross Tucker on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
The Bengals recently signed veteran RB Thomas Rawls, causing some to question Walton's status in the offense. However, to make room for Rawls on the roster Cincy waived RB Tra Carson. It would appear Rawls is No. 3 behind Bernard and Walton on the current depth chart. Still, Walton would need another injury to Bernard to carry much fantasy relevance.
