Fantasy Impact:

It was reported yesterday that the veteran back suffered an MCL injury that would likely result in time missed, so this news is not all that surprising. Bernard's fantasy and real-life impact has been inconsistent for much of the year, but his value has largely come in the form of pass catching. Leonard Fournette is the likeliest of the RBs on the Tampa Bay roster to absorb Bernard's work given that Fournette essentially has done so through his own effectively play this season anyhow. Not much to take away here that fantasy managers did not already likely know, but now Bernard's absence is confirmed.
