Cincinnati Bengals receiver A.J. Green was limited in practice on Wednesday due to a foot injury. He didn't appear injured in the Week 1 win over the Baltimore Ravens and is expected to play against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday in Week 2.
A.J. Green’s foot injury shouldn’t concern fantasy owners
A.J. Green was limited on Wednesday. We break down the fantasy implications.

Green caught a 77-yard bomb in the fourth quarter to help the Bengals get the win, finishing with 131 yards on six catches. He's emerged as the go-to guy and quarterback Andy Dalton is running out of options. Tight end Tyler Eifert (arm) is out indefinitely and Marvin Jones (foot) won't be back until at least Week 5. It'll be the A.J. Green Show for most of the season.
Fantasy impact: If you're even considering benching Green, you probably should just trade him right now. He's potentially the top receiver this week against a weak ATL secondary. Dalton should also have to throw the ball around to hang with Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan and Co. Green also projects as a top-five WR the rest of the way. For what it's worth, there are no noteworthy injuries to Green's foot in his NFL career.
