From the article

Bernard joins Deebo Samuel and Khalil Shakir as the only three receivers with an average route depth south of six yards — targets have been VERY shallow and gadgety here all season, something that could be problematic against a Bengals defense that runs man coverage at the NFL's fifth-highest rate considering Bernard ranks fifth in his own offense in both yards and yards per route run against man coverage among the team's top-5 WRs and TEs. Note that the rookie ranks first in both metrics against zone.

Bernard's shallow routes vulnerable to Bengals' man-coverage scheme.

Bernard's shallow average route depth (south of six yards, joining Deebo Samuel and Khalil Shakir as the only three receivers with this profile) could be problematic against the Bengals' man-coverage-heavy defense (fifth-highest rate in the NFL); Bernard ranks fifth in his own offense in both yards and yards per route run against man coverage among the team's top-5 WRs and TEs, but ranks first in both metrics against zone.
