A.J. Green

A.J. Green (toe) has removed his walking boot for good.

Fantasy Impact

It’s a step in the right direction for Green after he finished the 2018 season on IR. Green might not be ready to practice until early this summer, but as of now it looks like he’ll be ready for training camp. There’s reason to believe the Bengals offense can turn it around under new head coach Zac Taylor. Green will play next season at 31 years old.

The Bengals officially placed A.J. Green on Injured Reserve on Wednesday, activating CB Davontae Harris from IR.

Fantasy Impact

This was just a formality at this point, as it's been known since Monday that Green would miss the rest of the season. All indications are that Green should have time to recover from surgery for torn ligaments in his toe prior to training camp next year, so this shouldn't have much of an impact for dynasty purposes. Tyler Boyd should continue to see the bulk of targets, though John Ross makes an intriguing add for receiver-desperate teams.

The Bengals will place A.J. Green on Injured Reserve with torn ligaments in his toe. He is expected to have surgery and would be facing a four-month recovery if he does.

Fantasy Impact

It's hardly a surprise that Green is headed to IR after leaving Sunday's game early. A four-month recovery should leave him plenty of time to recover for training camp in 2019. To the extent you were rostering him in redraft leagues, it's obviously time to let him go. Tyler Boyd should see an uptick in targets with Green out again.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green caught his lone target for seven yards in his team's 24-10 loss to the Broncos in Week 13.

Fantasy Impact

Green injured his foot during the first half and did not return to action. This is not a good sign after he had sat out over a month following a toe injury. It is likely he finishes the season on injured reserve following his most recent injury.

A.J. Green went down to the ground on a non-contact play and immediately began grabbing his right foot. He had previously missed 3 games with a toe injury on his right foot.

Fantasy Impact

While there is no official confirmation of the injury, it would not be surprising at all if the Bengals star wide receiver does not play another game this season. It was surprising that he was back on the field Sunday after his initial toe injury was potentially going to sideline him for an extended period of time. In his absence John Ross and Tyler Boyd will continue to be the starting WRs on the depth chart, but both are volatile fantasy plays.
