Bernard.... He is a top 3 RB in FF not to mention he is the starter


I could name 10 RBs I would rather have than Gio.

I think Forsett is next in line if not ahead ofa few others. Morris too maybe.

Still need me to? Gio MIGHT be a top 15 back right now, and I emphasize might.

Nah. You may not be in a Ppr league which is why you feel this way but in my league Gio was top 10 in points before his injury.


Currently 18th having missed the last 3 weeks

I am in 2 PPR leagues where I own Gio and Hill. Forsett is the #8 back and Morris is #12. Bernard's injury changed things. I don't think anyone expects him to regain his original role even when 100% healthy given Hill's emergence the last 3 weeks.

Look I have both hill an Gio so trust me I'm not biased like some people may be in this thread. I'm playing hill this week and plan on going Gio the rest of the way.

Now top 15 rest of way? Who knows how the bengals plan on using him but he was a top 10 option before his injury.

Bingo. He was borderline top 10 when he was getting most of the touches. Now it looks like he may be the second best back on his own team

Good point. Who would you rather have rest of the way, hill or Gio? That's all I care about really bc I don't have any better options.

Hill right now. When Gio is 100% I'd say it's 50/50 in PPR and hill in standard.

Gio was still very productive last year when he didn't get the majority of carries. It's good that you have both. Hill this week.. then wait and see.

That's what I plan on doing but it would be so much easier if Gio got as many touches this week that he got earlier in the year even though I'm going hill this week

I really need him to get back to early season form.

.5 Carry .5 PPR Pick 3 5 pt bonus at 100 yds rushing/100 yards receiving

Giovani Bernard vs Houston
CJ Anderson vs Miami
Shane Vereen vs Det
Joique Bell vs NE

Bernards point totals in this league so far this year

wk1 21
wk2 38.90
wk3 24.90
wk5 17.70
wk6 39.70
wk7 6.10
wk8 19.70



Little help guys, dont want to start a thread to ask if I should start Gio. I really cant get a feel for how many touches he will get. No how matter how he touches it, I get points though.

For the record this is a 14 team league, so my RBs are decent for that I think.

Thanks ahead of time.

I would probably rank them: Anderson, Bell, Gio, Vereen...

I like Anderson in a rebound game for Denver even against a tough defense. Bell should be a good play with Bush likely out. He ran well last week against a good Cards D.

It comes down to Gio and Vereen and both have the same question. How much work are they going to get?
