The Cincinnati Bengals have ruled out A.J. Green vs. the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 13. It is “possible” Green could play next week vs. the Cleveland Browns, according to ESPN reporter Bob Holtzman.
A.J. Green injury update: WR out for Bengals, fantasy owners
The Bengals are still hoping A.J. Green plays again in 2016, but this week is too soon. Week 14 vs. the Browns may be in play.

Green is missing his second straight game due to a hamstring injury suffered in Week 11. He was unable to practice this week, though he rehabbed on the field. A return next week is very possible, which is why fantasy owners should hold onto him for one more week.
Through his first nine games this season, Green had 66 catches for 964 yards and four touchdowns. He was among the best fantasy receivers and a must-start every week, so losing him right before the fantasy playoffs has been brutal for owners.
Fantasy Impact: As long as Green is out, Tyler Boyd will be a viable fantasy option, but not one you should run to snag off waivers. This injury really just makes Tyler Eifert a better fantasy option at tight end.
