Germie Bernard Emerging as a Fantasy WR2 Against Saints

Friday, October 23, 5:22 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Germie Bernard broke out with 11 catches for 87 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets last week and should remain heavily involved in Week 7 against the New Orleans Saints. With Michael Pittman Jr. (foot), Roman Wilson (finger), and Ben Skowronek (calf) all inactive, Bernard and veteran teammate DK Metcalf were the only wide receivers to receive a target from quarterback Aaron Rodgers last week. That concentrated target share should continue against a Saints defense allowing the fourth-most yards and the most points per game to opposing offenses. Fantasy managers who have been stashing Bernard or were fortunate enough to claim him off waivers can feel confident starting the rookie as a low-end WR2 in Paris on Sunday.

Caleb Douglas Ready to Return, Not a Strong Start

Saturday, October 24, 5:30 AM

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Caleb Douglas looked like he was potentially in position to take over as the team's top WR before suffering an ankle injury in Week 2. He missed three games in a row due to that injury before the team's bye week, but he does not have an injury designation and is ready for his return in Week 7, when the Dolphins visit the Jets. In Week 1, Douglas had five catches on seven targets for 94 yards, flashing his potential upside and getting attention on the waiver wire. While he does have long-term upside and is worth stashing if possible, he's a very high-risk play in his first game back after the layoff. He is RotoBaller's No. 53 WR, making him only a starting option this week in very deep leagues or in scenarios where injuries and bye weeks have you stretched thin.
