Gio Bernard, Jeremy Hill's Instant Fantasy Reaction After Week 7

Giovani Bernard is an RB1 this year. Jeremy Hill is a weekly flex consideration for owners. You wouldn't know it from their performance in Week 7, however.    

The two players were absolutely stifled by the Indianapolis Colts defense on Sunday, a hardly shocking development as the Bengals were shut out, 27-0. Still, more than a few fantasy owners were probably left scratching their heads with stat lines like these.

Player	Carries	Yards	Receptions	Yards	Touchdowns	Fantasy Points
Giovani Bernard	7	17	2	-1	0	1
Jeremy Hill	4	15	0	0	0	1

There will be better days than this for both. Bernard has scored seven or more fantasy points in every game until this one as the team's starter, while Hill had six or more fantasy points in four straight games coming into this afternoon. 

Good players have bad games sometimes. Heck, entire teams have bad games sometimes. The Bengals had an atrocious game in Week 7, but don't let that result diminish your opinion of Bernard and Hill. They'll resume their regularly scheduled fantasy value next week.

Hit me up on Twitter—I'll answer your fantasy questions and make some corny jokes, too. It's more fun than trying to keep a straight face while offering Percy Harvin for Julius Thomas in a trade.
