Are we really doing this in Championship week!? Somebody talk me down from the ledge. Giovani Bernard has burnt us quite a bit this season and is one fumble away from being benched, yet I can't overlook this grandiose matchup that has been presented on a silver platter. We've heard it all season long; the Houston Texans are really, really bad against running backs. They're allowing 5.4 YPC to the position, the most in the NFL. They've also given up 95 or more total yards and a touchdown to a running back in three straight games.
We can't ignore what Bernard just did against one of the top run defenses last week as well. While he wasn't efficient, Bernard totaled 97 yards and two touchdowns on 26 touches. We know the Bengals don't want Ryan Finley throwing the ball, either. He just had 13 pass attempts in last week's win. That's why I think Bernard has a floor of 15 touches in this matchup with a ceiling close to what we saw last week. I know it's scary to trust any player in this offense but let's trust that mustache one more time! I'd be willing to start Bernard over either Rams running back, Ezekiel Elliott if he plays, and Kareem Hunt.
Below you'll find the rest of my thoughts on each game this week, with injuries, stats and more on every Fantasy relevant player. Good luck in your playoff matchups!
