Fantasy Impact:

Bernard's season is over after he tore his ACL in Week 11, forcing the Bengals to place him on IR Tuesday. In his absence, Jeremy Hill will garner a larger workload as the team's early down/ goal line back while Rex Burkhead will likely be utilized in Bernard's role as the primary receiver out of the backfield. Burkhead should be added from waivers this week as Hill's handcuff and could even hold fantasy value in deeper PPR leagues as early as Week 12.
