Start Germie Bernard: 90 percent of the snaps and 23 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Corey Kiner's 16 percent of the snaps and 29 percent of the carries. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.
Should I drop Corey Kiner for Germie Bernard?
Yes, on the rest of the season. Germie Bernard projects 82 market-implied PPR points from Week 10 through Week 17 (10.3 a game over 8 games), Corey Kiner 22 (3.2 a game over 7 games).

The gap
- Board size313 draftable players
Draft data is not current for these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out. The call above comes from each player's usage.
Where the draft room stands
Live drafts hold no current pick on Corey Kiner, and the board ranks him 28th overall on the rest of his evidence.
Live drafts hold no current pick on Germie Bernard, and the board ranks him 37th overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
The market-based projection for Corey Kiner is 13.7 PPR points a game off 2 markets across 13 market sources. That is 70 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
Germie Bernard's market-based projection is 11.2 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 12 market sources. That is the 59th highest figure of the 213 players with a market-based projection.
Corey Kiner's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.

He has taken 0 of the offence's 65 third down targets, had 1 of its 13 chances inside the five and seen 0 of its 35 two minute targets.
His 2 targets have come 4.0 yards behind the line of scrimmage on average.

Their 2025 seasons
In 2025 Corey Kiner played 4 games and scored 9.3 PPR points, 2.3 a game, finishing RB112.
He carried 12 times for 58 yards and 0 touchdowns, and caught 2 of 3 targets for 15 more yards.
That came to 3.0 carries a game at 4.8 yards a carry and 0-1 catches a game.
He was on the field for 7 percent of the snaps in the games he played.
Germie Bernard is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.
Side by side
Corey Kiner is a running back and Germie Bernard a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.
Byes and availability
Corey Kiner is off in Week 11 and Germie Bernard in Week 9, so either can cover the other's bye.
What would change the answer
Corey Kiner has only a partial projection, so the market half of this page is whole for only one of them.
