Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back
Giovani Bernard (ankle) has been activated off the injured reserve on Saturday. This is good timing for the Bucs with
Leonard Fournette (hip) being ruled out for the Week 12 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. It's nice to see Bernard back on the team since he has been sidelined most of the season. He's expected to be the primary backup to
Rachaad White for Sunday's game. However, fantasy managers shouldn't expect Bernard to have much value during his first game back. White is the player to have in the Tampa Bay backfield right now.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers placed running back
Giovani Bernard (ankle) and offensive tackle Josh Wells (calf) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday. In corresponding moves, the team signed wide receiver
Cole Beasley and offensive tackle Justin Skule to their practice squad. Bernard and Wells will now have to miss at least the next four games. The 30-year-old running back didn't play a single offensive snap for the Bucs in the first two games while contributing sparingly on special teams. He can obviously be left to the waiver wire in all fantasy leagues for the time being.
Ke'Shawn Vaughn is now the No. 3 RB on the depth chart behind
Leonard Fournette and rookie
Rachaad White.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back
Giovani Bernard suffered an ankle injury and has been ruled out for the remainder of Week 2 against the New Orleans Saints. The 30-year-old did not touch the football before exiting. His absence (and the healthy scratch of
Ke'Shawn Vaughn) leaves the Buccaneers with two running backs for the remainder of Sunday's game:
Leonard Fournette and
Rachaad White.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back
Giovani Bernard (ankle) was a full participant in Friday's practice and has been cleared to play in Week 1 against the Dallas Cowboys. Bernard struggled with injuries last year while
Leonard Fournette proved to be a capable pass-catcher out of the backfield, making his role in 2022 uncertain. The Bucs also drafted a talented receiving back in
Rachaad White and still have
Ke'Shawn Vaughn, so it's hard to project significant involvement for Bernard. He should be left on the waiver wire in redraft fantasy leagues.
