Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Marvin Jones did not participate in practice on Wednesday -- he came to the session in "sweats and gym shoes," according to Paul Dehner of Cincinnati.com. Couple that with the fact that A.J. Green suffered a setback to his toe injury sustained earlier in the season, and the Bengals have some significant issues at the wide receiver position.
Marvin Jones, A.J. Green dealing with injures; Mohamed Sanu might start, have fantasy value
Mohamed Sanu might be the No. 1 receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. We break down the fantasy implications.

Jones doesn't seem too likely to play against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, and with Green's setback, it's hard to imagine he'll play either. Head coach Marvin Lewis said that Green's injury is a "little bit more than" turf toe, according to Ross Tucker of NBCSN. Green has been dealing with the injury since Week 2 and it seems likely that the Bengals will give him some extra time to heal up.
Fantasy Impact: This means that Mohamed Sanu will likely be the No. 1 receiver in Cincinnati against the Panthers. Brandon Tate and Dane Sanzenbacher would be the next guys on the field. Then there's tight end Tyler Eifert, who is probably out as well. Sanu has a big opportunity here and he might actually be worth a start if fantasy owners need him as a handcuff to either Jones or Green.
