Germie Bernard Steps Into Starting Role on the Road in Tampa Bay

With Michael Pittman Jr. and Roman Wilson both sidelined on injured reserve, Bernard has stepped in as a starting wide receiver opposite DK Metcalf. Aaron Rodgers has shown growing trust in the rookie, targeting him 11 times over the past two weeks, resulting in eight catches for 91 receiving yards.

Rostered in roughly 76% of leagues following a massive waiver rush, Bernard is squarely on the streaming radar. Our weekly projection lands at 9.6 fantasy points with 3.7 catches and 42.5 yards, making him a viable flex option against Tampa Bay despite a modest 39-point game total.

Outlook Jaleel McLaughlin

Jaleel McLaughlin vs. Ravens — Minimal Workload in Low-Scoring Divisional Battle

McLaughlin sits deep on Cleveland's backfield depth chart, though recent backfield movement—including Raheim Sanders landing on injured reserve and starter Quinshon Judkins nursing an ankle issue—could yield occasional change-of-pace snaps. McLaughlin flashed his trademark burst on a 28-yard touchdown run earlier this month, but consistent offensive opportunities remain scarce.

Facing a stout Baltimore defense in an expected low-scoring matchup, McLaughlin holds minimal fantasy value. We project him for under two carries and roughly 14 total yards, generating just 3.5 fantasy points. Rosterable primarily as deep contingent insurance, he should remain parked on fantasy benches in virtually all leagues.
