Germie Bernard at Cincinnati: Flex appeal in a high-scoring AFC North clash
Healthy heading into Sunday night's matchup between two 6-2 division rivals, Bernard continues to earn Pittsburgh's trust in the passing game. The Steelers stood pat at the trade deadline, signaling confidence in the rookie's development alongside DK Metcalf even with Michael Pittman Jr. and Roman Wilson nearing returns. Bernard has drawn five targets in back-to-back games, turning his latest outing into five catches for 30 yards.
Our projection lands near 10.1 PPR points on roughly four catches and 37 receiving yards, placing him squarely on the flex radar. While rostered in 82 percent of leagues, Bernard is started in just 38 percent, reflecting lineup hesitation after modest recent totals. Still, Cincinnati's high-scoring environment with Pittsburgh playing as slight road underdogs gives him sneaky shootout appeal as a flex option in deeper formats.

Chimere Dike vs JAX at home: sneaky deep-league upside in likely pass-heavy script
Healthy heading into Sunday, Dike enters the matchup with momentum after drawing buzz for his recent 5-catch, 71-yard, one-touchdown performance. While he is listed as a secondary slot option behind Wan'Dale Robinson on the depth chart alongside Elic Ayomanor and Calvin Ridley, Tennessee has ruled out Carnell Tate, which should open up extra receiving snaps in a 1–7 offense.
As 11-point home underdogs against Jacksonville, the Titans face a probable negative game script that could boost passing volume. Our weekly projection lands at 6.9 PPR points on roughly three catches and 31 yards across four targets. Rostered in just 4% of leagues and started in 2%, Dike remains a risky deep-league play best reserved for desperate flex spots.
