The Cincinnati Bengals are in the midst of a two-game losing streak in part because of A.J. Green enduring a mini-slump.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 4: A.J. Green could erupt vs. Dolphins
After back-to-back duds by A.J. Green, expect him to bounce back in a big way Thursday night at the expense of Miami.

Green has gotten 19 targets over the past two games, but has only converted them into 10 grabs for 115 yards and no scores. That also included a brutal drop during Sunday’s loss to the Denver Broncos, which would have extended a fourth-quarter drive with the Bengals trailing by just one score.
Despite his recent woes, Green remains a must-start in fantasy leagues. His upside in this offense remains far too high to ever keep on your bench, and he is always liable to explode for 100-plus yards and multiple scores. He also gets to face a Miami Dolphins defense this week that has allowed the seventh-most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2016.
Fantasy Impact: Yahoo! has Green as the second-ranked wide receiver for Week 4. That just confirms Green’s must-start status this week and going forward, so do not think about benching him anytime soon.
