The Facts:
After a spectacular NFL Rookie of the Year finalist season, Bernard is only going to get more work and no doubt is going to border on 300 touches.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
So wrote Bengals.com staffer Geoff Hobson, who also pointed out that BenJarvus Green-Ellis had 50 more carries last season, but Bernard had two more touches and, according to ProFootballFocus.com, took 155 more snaps. And despite HC Marvin Lewis'
recent comments to the contrary, the touches don't seem out of line for a team that's going to
focus more on the run under new offensive coordinator Hue Jackson. ... Fantasy owners shouldn't sleep on Bernard despite the fact he'll be sharing time -- perhaps with more than Green-Ellis. According to Hobson, finding Bernard’s complement may be on the agenda, too. Jackson covets speed and no one is going to be surprised if the Bengals think about another back early in the draft after taking Bernard No. 35.
