CIN WR A.J. Green - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Indianapolis Colts

A.J. Green is still an impact receiver—even at age 30. He will be a 1,000-yard receiver again and is still the premier offensive weapon on the Bengals. Green is one of the safest picks in the draft every year as he has stayed healthy and puts up consistent numbers.

It's a very good matchup for the Bengals' pass offense. Expect big numbers from Green and the end zone is very a distinct possibility to help those fantasy numbers.

Start Green in all leagues and formats as a top fantasy receiver for Week 1.

CIN WR A.J. Green - 2018 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

A.J. Green continues to be a model of consistency. He eclipsed 1,000 yards in receiving yards for the sixth time in his seven-year career (in 2016 he missed six games but still had 964 yards). He was targeted 143 times last season, which shows the Bengals consider him to be their main playmaker. He averaged 14.4 yards per catch—which is close to his career average. No doubt, he is still a major factor in the Cincy offense.

Fantasy Downside

Green just turned 30, so the age could start to become an issue. There is also the question of the Cincinnati offense. Is Andy Dalton on the downside of his career? If yes, that could impact Green. Another factor is the Bengals don't have another legitimate threat at the wide receiver position. When tight end Tyler Eifert is healthy, that takes some attention away from Green, but Eifert's availability has been an issue in recent seasons.

2018 Bottom Line

Green might not be in the top five as far as wide receivers but he is definitely in the top 10. He really has not shown any signs of slowing down and, except for the six games he missed two seasons ago, he has stayed healthy. His ADP is 19 overall, which actually might be a little low. Don't be afraid to grab him as the fifth or sixth wide receiver on the board—he will definitely be a solid WR1 on your team.

CIN WR A.J. Green - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Baltimore Ravens

A.J. Green had double-digit targets in three of the past four games which shows nothing has really changed as to who the Bengals value as an offensive playmaker. He caught 6 passes for 81 yards last week, so even with a meaningless game coming up for Cincy, he should still put up some numbers.

Green will face a Ravens defense ranked eighth in aFPA to wide receivers. Green has fluctuated between big and small production games against Baltimore in his career. We will lean towards a big game coming up on Sunday, so start Green as a No. 1 WR for Week 17.

CIN WR A.J. Green - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Detroit Lions

After double-digit targets in back-to-back weeks, A.J. Green was held to a season-low 4 targets, 2 receptions, and 30 yards receiving last week. The Bengals offense overall has been putrid the past two weeks, but we have seen that throughout the season and Green was able to produce.

The Bengals face a Lions defense ranked 19th in aFPA to wide receivers. Green's numbers should bounce back this week, warranting a top-10 WR ranking for Week 16.

CIN WR A.J. Green - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Minnesota Vikings

For the third time in four weeks, A.J. Green had double-digit targets. Problem is in that span his high in receiving yardage has only been 77 yards. He is still finding the end zone with three scores in the last four games and that's with a struggling Cincinnati offense.

The Bengals face the Vikings this week, who are ranked ninth in aFPA to wide receivers, so the matchup on the road is less than favorable. But Green continues to shine despite the obstacles and should still be in your starting lineup as a low-end WR1 for Week 15.

CIN WR A.J. Green - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Chicago Bears

A.J. Green had one of his best games against the Steelers, scoring 2 touchdown receptions (and another one called back) and seeing a season-high 17 targets. There is no doubt Green is still QB Andy Dalton's favorite target and this will continue even with the Bengals out of the playoff picture.

The Bengals face the Bears this week, who are ranked 20th in aFPA to wide receivers. One note is that Green has been under the weather, but is expected to play. With a favorable matchup and Green's consistency (4 TDs in the past four games), he is a very good play in Week 14. Start him in all leagues and formats as a top-five fantasy wide receiver.

CIN WR A.J. Green - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

A.J. Green had a 5-reception day for 66 yards last Sunday but saw his two-game touchdown streak come to an end. Green continues to be the most dangerous weapon in the Cincinnati passing game but the Bengals have to do a better job getting him the ball. He hasn't had double-digit targets since Week 5.

Pittsburgh ranks 22nd in aFPA to wide receivers and held Green in check in their first meeting earlier this season—3 for 41 yards.

One difference in this game is that CB Joe Haden will not play and that helps Green's ranking. Start him as a solid WR1 for Week 13.
