The second-year coach added there will have to be contract negotiations this spring. Green, 32, has appeared in just nine game the past two seasons due to toe and ankle injuries. It is also possible that the Bengals could use the franchise tag on him for 2020.

The Bengals have placed wide receiver A.J. Green on injured reserve.

Cincinnati already noted that Green would miss the final two games of the season, and this just makes this official. It was a lost season for Green and his owners. Another year older and will ongoing injury concerns, Green's prospects in redraft and dynasty leagues are dwindling.

A.J. Green (ankle) said Tuesday that he doesn't anticipate playing in the Bengals' final two games of the season.

Fantasy Impact

Green hasn't played a snap all season, but was kept on the 53-man roster in hopes of a return. He is a free agent in 2020 and his future as a Bengal remains uncertain. Green could get the franchise tag placed on him, which would keep him in Cincinnati for one more year. Green will have an entire off-season for his ankle to heal, and if healthy will look to bounce back after two consecutive injury plagued seasons.

Cincinnati Bengals superstar receiver A.J. Green is reportedly in Green Bay to meet with foot specialist Dr. Robert Anderson.

Fantasy Impact

So much for a Week 16 return. There was a report prior to Week 15 that Green may finally be able to return, but his visit with a noted foot specialist suggests that a 2019 return may not be in the offing. Green's return would have been welcomed news for owners who held the faith and stashed Green on IR, but if you have made it to your fantasy football league's finals, hopefully you will not need him for Week 16.

Cincinnati Bengals superstar wide receiver A.J. Green has been ruled out for Week 15 against the New England Patriots.

Fantasy Impact

Amid reports that A.J. Green may actually return in Week 16 and 17, the Bengals superstar wide receiver has been ruled out for the fantasy football semi finals. Congratulations if you made him an early mid round pick and still find yourself alive in the playoffs in a 12 team league. The Bengals have a brutal matchup against the New England Patriots, making Tyler Boyd, Auden Tate, and John Ross players to fade this week if at all possible. Speculatively stashing Green at the end of your bench could pay off in a big way, and is a recommended move where possible.
