Rest-of-Season Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Opportunity emerged in the Buffalo linebacker corps in 2023, some of which was expected after the departure of Tremaine Edmunds. However, some was also unforeseen as Matt Milano was lost for a significant portion of the campaign. It was unclear who would emerge to fill those voids initially, but Bernard emphatically answered the call. After playing 109 defensive snaps in his rookie season, he increased that mark to 943 while also posting 143 total tackles in 2023. There is some risk that 2023 third-round pick Dorian Williams pushes Bernard for snaps, but initial reports suggest Williams will remain a reserve linebacker for the time being. There is downside in Bernard's projection as a result of Williams' presence, so monitoring the news during training camp will be important. Read Past Outlooks
Will play vs. Broncos
Coach Sean McDermott said Wednesday that Bernard (quadriceps) will be active for Sunday's wild-card game versus Denver, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Bernard was not able to play in Buffalo's regular-season finale due to a quadriceps injury, but he'll be good to go for the start of the playoffs. He figures to play a near every-down role at linebacker in Sunday's postseason opener.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
A 2022 third-round draft pick, Bernard didn't see a lot of action as a rookie, but it looks as though the 24-year-old will be counted on as a starting linebacker for the Bills in 2023 following the free-agent departure of Tremaine Edmunds. In 16 games (including one start) last season, the Baylor product was only in on 22 tackles, but if he's able to stick as a starter this year, the 6-1, 224-pounder could be a decent source of tackles for those in IDP leagues.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Team's key player after Allen
Bernard may be Buffalo's most important player after quarterback Josh Allen in 2024, according to Tim Graham of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Allen is the focal point of the offense, but Bernard is the MVP of Buffalo's defense. The 2022 third-round draft pick is coming off a breakout sophomore regular season in which he posted a team-high 143 tackles to go with 6.5 sacks and three interceptions. Bernard missed Buffalo's playoff loss to Kansas City due to an ankle injury, so keeping the linebacker healthy will be crucial for Buffalo's Super Bowl aspirations.
