A.J. Green Upholds Consistent Output
A.J. Green amassed 76 yards and a touchdown on five catches in Week 8 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Green hauled in a 17-yard sideline pass from quarterback Andy Dalton for his score but was relatively quiet in the second half as the Bengals went conservative and nearly blew the win. Green made two critical catches on the team’s final drive to setup the game-winning field goal. The perennial Pro Bowler is now up to 687 yards with six house calls as he and counterpart Tyler Boyd continue haunting opposing secondaries. He’s a no-doubt WR1 in Week 10 against the New Orleans Saints after the team returns from its bye week.

A.J. Green Racks Up 91 Yards, Scores Touchdown
A.J. Green caught three of his five targets for 91 yards and a touchdown in the 38-13 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 18. It was Green's highest yardage total of the season and his third-highest total as a member of the Arizona Cardinals. The 34-year-old wide receiver finishes his 12th NFL season with 24 catches for 236 yards and two touchdowns. He'll be a free agent this off-season, but he's likely close to retiring as his play has mightily declined. It would be surprising if he was a fantasy-relevant wideout in 2023.

A.J. Green Returns To Practice Thursday
A.J. Green (illness) was back on the practice field on Thursday after missing Wednesday's walkthrough session. He was officially listed as limited. Barring some sort of setback with his illness, the 34-year-old should be fine to play in Week 17 against the Atlanta Falcons, but fantasy managers will want to stay far away from him. The seven-time Pro Bowler remains well behind DeAndre Hopkins, Marquise Brown and Greg Dortch on the receiver totem pole, and he's also battling Robbie Anderson for targets from quarterback Colt McCoy. Green didn't see a single target in the Week 16 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and has just two catches for 12 yards in the last four games.

A.J. Green Slapped With DNP On Wednesday
A.J. Green (illness) was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice. It remains to be seen if Green's injury is serious enough to sideline him for the Week 17 game against the Atlanta Falcons, but either way, fantasy managers should stay far away. The 34-year-old veteran continues to be an afterthought in the offense in recent weeks, even after the season-ending injury to Rondale Moore (groin). Losing quarterback Kyler Murray (knee) to a torn ACL didn't help Green's cause, but he has just seven catches on 15 targets for 62 yards and no touchdowns in his last five games played. Colt McCoy (concussion) will return from a two-game absence this weekend, but Green has no business being in starting fantasy lineups if he plays.

A.J. Green Will Play In Week 8
A.J. Green will play in the upcoming matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. The 34-year-old didn't see a snap in Week 7, which is a concern for fantasy managers. Head coach Kliff Kingsbury hinted that Green could be more involved this week. DeAndre Hopkins is back, which limits the fantasy value of the rest of these wideouts. Fantasy managers shouldn't bother taking a risk with Green. He'll be a desperation deep league option for this Week 8 matchup.
