Bengal's rookies Fantasy Value

[augustisback003]

With ESPN's Fantasy Mock Drafts starting this week it started me thinking about what to expect from Tyler Eifert and Giovani Bernard as Fantasy contributors this year. Between the two I believe Bernard will have the greater impact and will be a strong candidate for Rookie of the Year honors. Yes, I expect that kind of year from him. With his agility, speed and vision I fully expect him to overtake BenJarvus Green-Ellis by mid-season and become an impact weapon during the second half of the year. As far as Eifert is concerned he too will have a solid year but Bernard with be the star of the group. What do you expect from our two rookies this year?

Tyler Eifert- 570 yds 6 tds
Giovani- Bernard 1100 yds 8 tds | 400 yds 4 tds

i expect people to draft both of them, get disillusioned, drop or trade them, so smart owners should look at getting them off waivers.

I think Marvin will hold back Bernard..... I expect him to play more of a 'spot' role as Marvin stubbornly sticks with BGJE 3.2PC.

I expect that Eifert will be given a lot of chances in the redzone and this will increase his value in FF.

Agreed. Bernard probably won't play much early in the season. Eifert will be a good play all season. Bernard will be solid by the 2nd half of the year.

There's just too much insanity to be played out.

Ryan Whalen named the #2 receiver
Tyler Eiffert benched in favor of Gresham, who drops 5 passes a game
Every time a rookie rb makes a play he'll be taken out so that BJGE can "move the chains before we punt"
we will hand the ball off on 1st and 2nd down and shovel pass on 3rd down
for several games we will ignore AJ Green as a weapon
hilarity will ensue.

Oh, c'mon now, we haven't seen the shovel pass since Brat left...except when it actually made sense to run.

Marv loves him some shovel passes, remember when he bought everyone a shovel?

Brian Leonard is now gone..... Someone needs to pick up shovel duty.
