A.J. Green

WR A.J. Green caught five passes on eight targets for 67 yards in Week 2 vs. Houston.

Fantasy Impact

Green is a top-five WR in the league, but he is being held back from performing like it in fantasy because of the offensive ineptitude of the Bengals. Teams are double- and triple-teaming him because they don't think anyone else can beat them right now. If you spent a first round pick on Green, you can either hold him and hope things turn around, or sell. However, you are likely going to sell low, unless you can convince someone to buy off name value alone. Green will look to rebound next week against the Packers.

A.J. Green had five receptions for 74 yards in the Bengals' Week 1 loss to the Ravens.

Fantasy Impact

A.J. Green caught 4-of-6 targets for 43 yards in the Bengals' third preseason game.

Now that Green has been medically cleared for football activities from a torn hamstring suffered in Week 11 of the 2016 season, he will be ready for spring workouts as expected. Barring a setback, Green will be a full-go for the start of the 2017 campaign. With Brandon LaFell set to hit the open free agent market, the Bengals could address the wide receiver position this offseason to add a compliment to Green.
