Fantasy Life Articles on Germie Bernard
From the article
Bernard was the priority waiver wire add last week in the Utilization Report, and he didn't disappoint in a tough matchup against the Buccaneers. The Round 2 NFL pick scored 25.7 points with an 83 Utilization Score. Most importantly, we now have two games with Bernard in a full-time role. In those two contests, Bernard has a 28% target share, averaging 10 looks per game. That has fueled 20.1 PPG with an 86 Utilization Score.
STACKED’s take
Bernard's 28% target share and 20.1 PPG in two starts support WR3 upgrade with WR2 upside.
Bernard flashed WR1 upside against Tampa Bay with 25.7 points and an 83 Utilization Score. Over two games in a full-time role, he has posted a 28% target share, averaging 10 looks per game, fueling 20.1 PPG with an 86 Utilization Score. His low aDOT (3.8) and average route depth (6.0 yards, 83rd of 85 WRs) are concerns, but he is averaging 9.5 catchable targets in two starts—valuable in PPR formats. Bernard averages 5.1 yards after the catch and the Steelers are designing plays to protect his skillset: 50% slot usage, 19% of targets on screens (9th among WRs), and 16% motion at snap (24th). He can play inside or outside and handle intermediate work, making him a strong bet to retain the starting role even after Michael Pittman Jr. and Roman Wilson return from injury, given his superior ability after the catch and second-round draft capital. Round 2 WRs improved their fantasy PPG by 30% from Weeks 1-7 vs. Weeks 8-18 and snap shares by 22% from 2015-2025.
