Bengals WR AJ Green, who has missed past three games with a toe injury, will play today, per league source.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) November 2, 2014 The Jaguars have improved defensively in 2014, but that shouldn’t matter for a player like Green, who is averaging over 100 receiving yards, if you don’t include Week 2 against Atlanta, when he was taken out of the game early with no receptions.
Fantasy impact: It's time for fantasy owners to fill the void that Green undoubtedly left their rosters for three weeks now. Green will be a WR1 in all formats. Mohamed Sanu has stepped up in Green's absence, which should help Green more than hurt him in terms of production. The Bengals have developed a strong aerial attack with Green back in the fold.
