A.J. Green, Giovani Bernard, Mike Evans are on fantasy radar for Bengals-Buccaneers

The Week 13 matchup between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers features a pair of wide receivers who are lighting it up right now. We've got the fantasy projections for you courtesy of numberFire.

It's official, wide receiver A.J. Green is back and healthy. Although that's not news to fantasy owners, Green is making headlines with two straight fantastic performances. He has 18 catches for 248 yards and a touchdown combined in those two efforts and there should be no reason for him to start slowing down against the Buccaneers, a team with trouble containing wide receivers. It goes without saying Green should be in fantasy lineups right now. He could be the difference maker who helps owners secure a playoff spot in Week 13.

If quarterback Andy Dalton struggles to get Green the ball, running back Giovani Bernard will be counted on to lead the charge on the ground. He returned to the lineup last week after nursing a hip injury which saw him missing three games and although he only managed 45 rushing yards against the Houston Texans, Bernard still touched the ball 19 times. What that means is rookie Jeremy Hill is back to his role as a change-of-pace guy. Bernard could see a lot of action if the game gets out of hand and the Bengals are up big, which is a scenario the Buccaneers are all-too-familiar with this season.

As much as 2014 is a lost cause for Tampa Bay, it doesn't mean there aren't any bright spots in the organization moving forward. One of those bright spots is wide receiver Mike Evans. Evans only caught three passes for 47 yards and a touchdown last week, and while it wasn't the type of huge performance he's been putting together of late, he's now found the end zone in four straight games and has six touchdowns in the same stretch. While he will eventually be contained, Evans has scored in six of his last seven games so there is absolutely no way he can be on the bench this week.

In some ways, the rookie pass catcher has been somewhat of a saving grace for quarterback Josh McCown, who has actually been able to put up respectable numbers over the last three weeks. There's no doubt he won't exactly challenge the upper echelon of quarterbacks in terms of fantasy production, but aside from Evans, McCown is all the Buccaneers have offensively. He is facing a Bengals' defense that has turned things around and is making it awful difficult for quarterbacks lately, but those in deeper leagues who really need a quarterback may want to take a look at the veteran.
