The Cincinnati Bengals are listing A.J. Green as questionable vs. the Houston Texans in Week 16.
A.J. Green injury update: WR questionable for Bengals, fantasy owners
The Bengals and fantasy owners are hoping to have A.J. Green for the final two games this season.

Green has yet to play in a game since straining his hamstring in Week 11. He has been practicing for two weeks now, though most of that has been limited work.
While Green has been out, Tyler Boyd and Brandon LaFell have taken turns being the No. 1 receiver in this offense, though neither has done much. This offense is terrible without Green, and he actually helps Tyler Eifert’s value rise since opposing defenses cannot just zero in on Eifert.
Fantasy Impact: If Green plays, Yahoo! ranks him as the 22nd-best wide receiver in Week 16. He would face a Texans defense allowing the third-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers this season.
If Green is active, you absolutely will start him. Even if he does not get a full workload, Green is too dangerous and explosive to keep on your bench in the fantasy playoffs.
