CIN WR A.J. Green - Week 2, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Pittsburgh
AJ Green was targeted 13 times last week, and even though the Jets knew he was getting the ball, they had a hard time stopping him. Green ended up with 12 catches and 180 yards and a touchdown, as well. He continues to prove he is one of the best receivers in the NFL, as he is capable at any time taking over a game.

The Steelers are up next and probably won't have anyone who can shut Green down. Since 2014, he has had some monster games against a weak Pittsburgh secondary. Expect more big numbers in Week 2. Start Green in all leagues and formats this Sunday.

CIN WR A.J. Green - Week 1, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at New York Jets
Although there are some question marks with the Bengals offense this season, A.J. Green is not one of them. He has posted 1,000 receiving yard season every year he has been in the league and double digit touchdowns three of the past four seasons. As long as he is healthy, he will be productive. Green will have some new faces lining up as his WR2 and WR3. Plus Tyler Eifert will start the season inactive because of injury. The only way he isn't a top-10 receiver each week is if the new receivers are not effective to the point where Green is receiving all the attention from opposing defenses.

He will face the Jets in Week 1 who were 20th in aFPA to wide receiver. Although Darrelle Revis is on the other side of the ball he is not what he once was so expect Green to win more one-on-one battles than he did in the past.

Overall, Green is solid WR1 for Week 1. He is usually up to any challenge so it really doesn't matter who the defense is. Start him in all leagues and formats and expect big-time fantasy help on Sunday.

CIN WR A.J. Green - 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
A.J. Green continues to be one of the best wide receivers in football and a great fantasy asset. His numbers have been great, but actually have a chance to get better with new offensive coordinator Ken Zampese replacing Hue Jackson, who was more run-oriented. Green has put up over 1,000 receiving yards every year in the league and also has double-digit TD receptions three of the last four years. There is little doubt that he is an elite talent and will continue to flourish with Andy Dalton at QB

Fantasy Downside
Really the only negative for Green is the other wide receivers. He should command all the attention from opposing defensive coordinators which could hurt his overall numbers. Tyler Boyd was drafted and is expect to take some of the pressure away from Green. But even if he does, Green will still see double-teams on a regular basis.

2016 Bottom Line
Green is a top five receiver and a first round draft pick in all formats. As long as he stays healthy, he should catch 90 balls with 1,300 yards and double-digit TDs. He is a remarkable talent and consistent fantasy option.

CIN WR A.J. Green - Week 18, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 18 vs Pittsburgh
A.J. Green slowed down over the last three weeks of the season with A.J. McCarron at quarterback, although he did manage two touchdowns in that time period. However, Green has torched the Pittsburgh weak secondary in the two meetings this season catching 17 passes for 250 yards and two touchdowns. The QB shouldn't matter as the Steelers have let Pro Bowlers and journeyman put up good numbers all season long. Pittsburgh is ranked dead-last in aFPA to wide receivers. Green is close to being the top fantasy wide receiver Wild Card weekend and is a must play in Week 18.

CIN WR A.J. Green - Week 17, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs Baltimore

After a tough game two weeks ago when he was battling a back injury, A.J. Green looked better in Week 16 against the Broncos. He caught five passes for 57 yards, but he also scored his fourth touchdown in the last four weeks. More important, the targets were back up to nine.

Baltimore is 19th in aFPA to wide receivers to Green should be good to go on Sunday. In the first meeting this season, he had 10 catches for 227 yards. Although we don't expect numbers like that, we do expect a solid game and that's why he should start in all leagues and formats as a WR1 for Week 17.

CIN WR A.J. Green - Week 16, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs Denver

Unfortunately for A.J. Green owners, the star wide receiver hurt his back Saturday and the result was his worst performance of the season on Sunday. He caught only one pass on the afternoon. Another factor is A.J. McCarron is now throwing passes, not Andy Dalton.

With those two factors coupled with the fact that Denver ranks No. 1 in aFPA to wide receivers, Green's stock takes a major nosedive. He should play on Sunday, but only ranks a high-end WR3 or flex for Week 16.

CIN WR A.J. Green - Week 15, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at San Francisco

A.J. Green continued his strong second half with his second straight 100-plus yard receiving effort. He also reached the end zone for the fourth time in the last three games. And he has been making big plays averaging over 23 yards per catch the last two weeks.

San Francisco is 13th in aFPA to wide receivers, but the bigger factor this week is backup quarterback A.J. McCarron who will get the start for the injured Andy Dalton. That slightly hurts Green's value, but he still is a low-end WR1 for Week 15.
