Bengals Injury News: BenJarvus Green-Ellis, Carlos Dunlap Out Vs. Falcons
The Bengals have several key players out tonight vs. Atlanta. We break down the fantasy implications.
Analysis: Green-Ellis is probably the most fantasy-relevant player on that list. His injury doesn't appear to be serious - foot soreness - but with Scott also sitting out tonight, it gives Cedric Peerman, Dan Herron and Brian Leonard a chance to show something. Cincy's real concern should be on defense, with Dunlap expected to miss a a month and numerous CB injuries hurting an already thin secondary. Avoid this unit in your fantasy draft.
