Fantasy Impact:
Giovani Bernard was awarded a three-year contract extension on Wednesday. Bernard earned his new deal by having a career year in 2015 behind starter Jeremy Hill. Bernard accounted for 730 yards and two touchdowns on the ground last season while adding another 472 receiving yards on 49 receptions. Bernard is a solid fantasy option, especially in PPR leagues as he serves as the change-of-pace back as well as the primary receiver out of the backfield.
