Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green is listed as doubtful for Week 7 against the Indianapolis Colts due to a toe injury. Green sustained the injury in practice last week and missed the team's Week 6 game against the Carolina Panthers. Interestingly enough, Green was listed as questionable on the injury report heading into that game, but nobody thought he had a chance to play.
A.J. Green injury update: Bengals WR doubtful; fantasy owners should look elsewhere
A.J. Green is officially doubtful for Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts. We break down the fantasy implications.

This time, he's listed as doubtful, and while head coach Marvin Lewis called him day-to-day earlier in the week, it's fairly obvious that he's not at 100 percent and likely won't play. Andy Dalton is having a great year with the Bengals, and Green has been a big part of that. However, it's Mohamed Sanu who leads the team with 27 receptions for 354 yards and three touchdowns.
Fantasy Impact: Sanu will once again be the go-to guy for Dalton, and he's done well as the No. 1 receiver thus far. Green fantasy owners likely have no shot of getting him, however, given that he was picked up in most leagues when it became apparent that Marvin Jones was not returning any time soon. Fantasy owners can hold out a little hope that Green is somehow active, especially given that it's an early game but ... it's not going to happen.
