Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard got a season-high 30 snaps in the team's Week 3 win against the Green Bay Packers, according to Pro Football Focus.
Giovani Bernard gets increased workload in Bengals Week 3 win, improving fantasy value
Maybe Cincy’s coaches are finally coming around.

Bernard hadn’t even come close to playing in half of the team’s offensive snaps in the first two games, but he played in 53-percent of them on Sunday. It’s a sign that the Bengals’ coaching staff is starting to come around to giving Bernard a bit more of a role in the offense.
Fantasy spin: Bernard is clearly more talented than BenJarvus Green-Ellis, and it's only a matter of time before the rookie has a featured role in the Bengals' backfield. He is the more talented running back and presents a threat out of the backfield.
If you haven’t already, try to find a way to get Bernard on your roster. He should be a solid No. 2 running back going forward if he continues to get this type of workload.
