Last year he was projected a top 6 round pick based on his half a season production from the year before. He had issues with injuries last year and Hill took over as the starter.
Does he see more action this? Can he become that threat everyone thought he would be last year? He is shifty and can catch the ball out of the backfield, so worth a flier?

Well you have to think the Bengals aren't going to have an easy schedule like last season.

That gives Bernard more opportunities late in games if they're playing from behind, especially in PPR. I don't see the Bengals winning 10 games this year but I also think this doesn't effect Hill's production. Jist a thought, but I like Gio as a Flex.

He's a handcuff for Hill. I don't think he has any real independent value outside of that.

I still see him as a nice possible flex option. He's still going to get touches, and I like him in PPR

He finished top 20 PPR RB last season despite missing 3 games and despite hills emergence In week 8

He also finished out the year with 13, 19, and 19 point games (PPR) while Hill went for 25/148/2, 22/147/1, and 23/100 in those same games.

That team is lacking playmakers outside of AJ Green and Hill. They need Bernard in that offense. Hill carrying the load isn't even necessarily a bad thing for Bernard IMO. Allows him to do his thing

I also don't think his ADP is high. I got him as a flex in a 12 team league w upside

Hill will carry the load, but if anyone forgets the way Gio moves and catches the ball because they only see Hill run over people is dumb...

Gio could be played as a weekly Flex play if need be...I like him a lot....used him as a flex last year.

I would def draft him again
