Pittsburgh Steelers rookie wide receiver Germie Bernard is receiving national recognition after delivering one of his best performances of the season against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Bernard was nominated for the FedEx Air & Ground Player of the Week award following an impressive 11-catch, 87-yard, one-touchdown…

The Pittsburgh Steelers overcame a 16-3 fourth-quarter deficit to defeat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and get to 4-2 on the season. They now sit atop the division with the Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens, both of whom are also 4-2 on the year after Cleveland defeated Baltimore. The Steelers wouldn't have been able…

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. The Steelers figure to deploy multi-TE formations early and often to avoid relying too heavily on practice-squad callups at WR like Brandon Johnson or Isaiah Hodgins.
