Availability
Germie Bernard caught his lone target for 14 yards in a 30-27 win over the Bengals.
Fantasy Impact
Bernard saw his target share free fall to just one target after seeing eight last week against the Patriots. The 22-year-old should remain out of lineups until us usage becomes more clear.
Steelers WR Germie Bernard caught 4-of-8 targets for 35 yards in the Steelers' 20-3 loss to the Patriots.
Fantasy Impact
Bernard saw an increase in playing time with Michael Pittman (ankle) unavailable for Week 2. The rookie wide receiver did have a key drop that lead to a Patriots interception. Bernard will look to build on this performance in Week 3 against the Bengals.
Germie Bernard took first-team slot reps in practice on Saturday.
Fantasy Impact
Bernard impressed in his preseason debut with 51 yards on four receptions. DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. remained absent from practice on Saturday.
Germie Bernard was taking reps with the first-team offense at Steelers training camp on Friday.
Fantasy Impact
Farbaugh notes that Bernard flexed into the backfield and then back out into the slot on a rep. He'll have a chance to compete for immediate snaps in the slot for Pittsburgh.
Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy said Germie Bernard was "crushing it" whenq asked about how he's handling playing all three positions.
Fantasy Impact
McCarthy had the same thing to say about Roman Wilson. "They're crushing it, frankly....it's best for our receivers to play all three positions to create opportunities for our receivers," he said. Bernard figures to move around his rookie season, but his best chance to more playing time could be in the slot.
