Jeremy Hill, Giovani Bernard Post-Week 10 Fantasy Advice

Fantasy owners never know how to handle the Cincinnati Bengals' two-man attack in the backfield, and that didn't change in Week 10 against the New York Giants.

Jeremy Hill and Giovani Bernard struggled with efficiency in the 21-20 loss Monday night, although both remain quality options to consider in fantasy leagues going forward.

Hill appeared set to lose out on snaps and touches a few weeks ago, but he responded with 168 rushing yards on just nine carries against the Cleveland Browns. Since then, he has returned to being the go-to option in the backfield on the majority of rushing attempts.

He had 20 carries for 76 yards in Week 8 before the bye and came back with 15 carries against the Giants, more than double that of Bernard.

While efficiency was an issue at just 3.1 yards per carry, he found the end zone once again. As NFL on ESPN noted, it is the first time he has scored in three straight games.

The latest came with some celebration, via the NFL on Twitter:

Hill now has six touchdowns on the season and remains the team's go-to option in goal-line situations. This alone makes him fantasy-relevant at a position that lacks depth or consistency. Add in a high workload, and there are worse options as an RB2 or flex in standard leagues.

Bernard had found consistency from a fantasy perspective in recent weeks. He scored in each of his last two games, and before that, he had at least 90 yards from scrimmage in back-to-back contests.

Fans were just waiting for a true breakout where he was able to put it all together with yards and touchdowns. This didn't come in Week 10.

The fourth-year player didn't do much of anything on the ground and wasn't any more effective in the passing game. His 36 total yards were his lowest since Week 1 against the New York Jets.

On the plus side, he still has an important role on this team and will have an easier matchup in Week 11. The Buffalo Bills rank 20th in rushing yards allowed per game, and their 11 rushing touchdowns allowed is better than only five other teams.

Hill has become the better option for now, but Bernard can also be a useful player if you need him.
