Fantasy Upside
A.J. Green continues to thrive, putting up top-5 fantasy wide receiver stats every year whenever he's on the field. He has gone over 1,000 yards receiving every season, except in 2016 when he missed six games (still recorded 964 receiving yards). Green also remains QB Andy Dalton's favorite target and is the Bengals' most important offensive weapon.
Fantasy Downside
Not much in the negative department for Green. He is 29 and missed six games last year and three games two seasons ago. But he is fully healed from last year's hamstring injury and has always played at a high-level when healthy.
2017 Bottom Line
If Green plays 16 games, he will be a fantasy WR1. You can take that to the bank. But how high can he go? His ADP is nine overall, making him a first round draft pick. In both standard and PPR leagues, you can take him as high as seven and you will get value. 4for4 has Green ranked as their WR4, so don't think the missed games last year will affect his performance in 2017.
