Bengals running back Giovani Bernard put together his worst game of the season in Week 7, but Fantasy owners probably shouldn't be too concerned about it.
Bernard ran the ball just seven times in the game for 17 yards, both of which are his lowest totals of the season. Of course, he wasn't really the problem, as the Bengals had just 135 yards of total offense in the game. It would have been hard for any running back to find success with that kind of pitiful showing by the team as a whole.
Bernard played a big part in everything the Bengals do, so it isn't much of a surprise that he couldn't find room to operate Sunday. He touched the ball a season-low nine times, and should be looking at a much larger role moving forward. Despite his subpar showing, Bernard should be active in all formats for Week 8 against the Ravens -- he already racked up 110 all-purpose yards against them in Week 1.
