Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Mohamed Sanu has stepped up big time in the absence of A.J. Green. Ever since Green aggravated his toe injury in Week 5, Sanu took over as the new No. 1 receiver. He was up to the task, averaging six catches for 99.6 yards in the past three games.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 9: Mohamed Sanu
Mohamed Sanu has been performing well as the Bengals’ temporary No. 1 WR. Will he keep it up with A.J. Green due back soon?

Sanu continued his streak in last week's win over the Baltimore Ravens, recording 125 yards on five receptions. He now has a 35-533-3 line in seven games this season.
Fantasy impact: Green is tentatively expected to make his return against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 9, so Sanu's usage could take a hit. However, he'll still be locked into the No. 2 role with Marvin Jones out for the year. After a disappointing 2013, the third-year receiver is again starting to show why fantasy pundits were high on him in the first place. He's a solid WR3/WR4 option for the rest of the season and has a plus matchup with the Jaguars defense this week.
