If Pittman Misses Time

Next man up: Germie Bernard

Germie Bernard is next on the Steelers depth chart at wide receiver. The targets would likely spread across the offense rather than pass to one player, so he's a waiver add only if Pittman misses time.

Who else it affects

His absence would move work to the rest of the offense, and Aaron Rodgers would lose one of his main options.
