Green is still recovering from a strained hamstring sustained in Week 11. That led to him missing the last five games as the team is being ultra-cautious with him as it has nothing to play for.
The All-Pro wide receiver will finish 2016 with 66 catches for 964 yards and four scores. This will be the first time in Green’s six-year career that he’s failed to record 1,000 yards.
Fantasy Impact: With Green out, the Bengals will rely heavily on Brandon LaFell, Tyler Boyd, and Cody Core in the passing game. It helps those three that star tight end Tyler Eifert is now on injured reserve due to a back injury.
LaFell is a low-end WR3 or flex play. Boyd and Core are not worth considering in any league. You are better off not touching anyone in this offense on Sunday.
