Presswire
Fantasy Impact: With backup Bernard Scott inactive again, Green-Ellis got another workhorse load, but was hardly a focal part of the offense, as the Bengals took advantage of CB Joe Haden's suspension to air it out all day. For the most part, Green-Ellis played like the serviceable RB2 fantasy back he is - won't kill your team, but won't demand starting every week regardless of matchups. The Bengals play the Washington Redskins in Week 3, one of those matchups where Green-Ellis may not be worth starting.
