Five catches in blowout win Bernard caught all five of his targets for 30 yards during Sunday's 27-6 win against Cleveland.

Impact Bernard led the team in catches, reeling in multiple passes for the fifth straight week and sixth time overall this year. The wide receiver has built a strong rapport with starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers, but it's unclear what Bernard's workload will look like after the Steelers have a chance to regroup and potentially acquire another pass catcher during the team's bye week in Week 9.

Quiet game in win over New Orleans Bernard caught three of five targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Saints.

Impact It was a big step back in production for the rookie wideout compared to Week 6 against the Bucs, but Bernard still ran a team-high 33 routes on Aaron Rodgers' 34 dropbacks against New Orleans. Bernard's role is secure while Michael Pittman (foot) and Roman Wilson (finger) remain sidelined for at least two more games each. Bernard will be a fantasy WR3 for next Sunday's game against the Browns.

Catches game-winning TD in Week 6 Bernard caught 11 of 12 targets for 87 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-19 overtime win over the Bucs.

Impact With Michael Pittman (foot) and Roman Wilson (finger) out for the Steelers, Bernard was the clear WR2 behind DK Metcalf and actually ran a team-high 54 routes on Aaron Rodgers' 56 dropbacks. Metcalf edged Bernard out in targets 15 to 12, while both players caught 11 passes. Pittman and Wilson are both required to miss at least two and three more games respectively, so Bernard is locked into an every-down role for the immediate future. Rodgers has sung the rookie wideout's praises early on this season, and it's reasonable to expect Bernard to remain a key part of the passing offense moving forward. He should be rostered in all fantasy formats.

Set for larger role Bernard and return specialist Kaden Wetjen are the only wide receivers on Pittsburgh's active roster without injury designations for Week 6.

Impact Bernard played 93 percent of snaps in a Week 5 win over Indianapolis, catching six passes for 80 yards on a team-high nine targets. He now projects for a similar workload, at least in terms of playing time, as the Steelers are still without Michael Pittman (IR - foot) and now have Roman Wilson (finger) and Ben Skowronek (calf) ruled out for Week 6. What's more, DK Metcalf is listed as questionable after missing Friday's practice with an illness. Metcalf may not be at his best even if he's able to play, and there's otherwise minimal target competition for Bernard in the WR room.

Six catches in victory Bernard caught six of nine targets for 90 yards during Sunday's 34-22 win over the Colts.

Impact Bernard left the team in targets while notching six catches and 80 receiving yards, both of which were new career highs. The rookie was operating in a more prominent role with fellow wideout Michael Pittman (foot) on injured reserve, and Roman Wilson suffered a finger injury Sunday, so Bernard may see even more opportunities moving forward. Through five games this season, he has caught 20 of 33 targets for 278 yards and two touchdowns.

OCTOBER 11 • STEELERS.COM

Two catches vs. Cleveland Bernard caught both of his passes for 11 yards during the Steelers' 27-24 loss to the Browns on Thursday.

Impact Bernard was not targeted by Aaron Rodgers until late in the fourth quarter, with the duo connecting on passes for six and five yards to help set up a three-yard touchdown catch by Pat Freiermuth after the two-minute warning. The rookie second-rounder was on the field for 29 of the Steelers' 72 offensive snaps (40.3 percent), which was third-most among wide receivers behind DK Metcalf (70) and Michael Pittman (52) and ahead of Roman Wilson (22). Bernard has a 7-60-0 receiving line on 11 targets through four regular-season games, though his role in the offense will be limited behind Metcalf, Pittman, Freiermuth, Darnell Washington and Jaylen Warren. The Steelers head back home for Week 5 against the Cotls on Sunday, Oct. 11.

Team-high 35 receiving yards vs. Pats Bernard caught four passes on eight targets for 35 yards during the Steelers' 20-3 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

Impact The rookie second-rounder operate as the WR3 due to the absence of Michael Pittman (foot). Aaron Rodgers struggled at Gillette Stadium, but Bernard did his part by leading the Steelers pass catchers in receiving yards while finishing second in catches behind Roman Wilson (five) and second in targets to DK Metcalf (nine). Pittman's status for Week 3 against the Bengals on Sept. 27 is up in the air, but even if he was ruled out, Bernard's production (along with the other Steelers pass catchers) will be capped unless Rodgers improves his play.

Set for larger role Sunday Bernard is set to be the No. 3 option at wide receiver in Sunday's game against the Patriots, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

Impact The second-round rookie will have his first opportunity as a starting member of the Steelers offense due to Michael Pittman (foot) being ruled out ahead of the contest. Bernard saw just three offensive snaps in the team's Week 1 win over the Falcons, a number that should skyrocket in Week 2.
