Fantasy Football: Cincinnati Bengals lose Giovani Bernard to torn ACL

CINCINNATI, Nov. 21 (UPI) -- Entering Sunday, the struggling Cincinnati Bengals still had an embarrassment of skill position players.

But following its Week 11 loss to the Buffalo Bills, the Bengals were without an All-Pro wide receiver and one of the best third-down runners in the NFL.

Giovani Bernard will not take another snap this season for the Bengals. A.J. Green could also miss the remainder of the season after tearing his hamstring.

Bernard, 24, suffered a torn ACL in the loss. He had 12 touches for 61 yards in the contest. This season, Bernard had 337 yards and two scores on 91 carries and 336 yards and a score on 39 receptions. Tom Pelissero of USA Today was the first to report the news of Bernard's injury, which happened on the final drive of the game.

Look for the Bengals' bad news to be good news for Jeremy Hill's fantasy football value. Hill should be a low-end RB1 for the rest of the season.
