The lack of production on the field is your window to buy...Bernard should be their slot guy moving forward...Per the Fantasy Points Data Suite, through 40 games as a play-caller, Mike McCarthy's slot wide receivers have averaged 17.3 fantasy points per game as a unit...I like him as a cheap buy for PPR leagues.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalSleeper

Bernard's Week 7 underperformance was scheme-based; McCarthy's slot WRs average 17.3 PPG.

Bernard is a cheap buy for PPR leagues despite underperforming in Week 7 with five targets and 27 yards. The source attributes this to game plan, not talent; Pittsburgh was designed to exploit New Orleans on the ground. Bernard played over 90% of snaps but only 40% in the slot (his typical position) due to the game plan. Per the Fantasy Points Data Suite, Mike McCarthy's slot wide receivers have averaged 17.3 fantasy points per game over the past three and a half years (second-most among all coaches). Bernard should continue to see plenty of volume in an offense with a 67% pass rate (second only to Dallas).
