Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green is dealing with a toe injury, but it's not considered to be serious. Head coach Marvin Lewis told reporters on Monday that the injury isn't long-term and the team is hoping to have him back soon.
A.J. Green injury is not long-term, but fantasy owners need a backup plan
A.J. Green’s toe injury isn’t considered too serious, although he might not be back until after the Bengals’ bye week. We break down the fantasy implications.

Green was forced out of Sunday's Week 2 game against the Atlanta Falcons with a strained ligament on his toe. It's the same foot injury that had him limited in practice the week before. Reports suggest that Green will return after the Bengals' Week 4 bye.
Fantasy impact: There is still an outside shot that Green could play in Week 3. However, with the season still young, the Bengals will likely sit him and give him two full weeks of recovery time. Fantasy owners need to look for a backup, and Mohamed Sanu could be the answer. Sanu took up the No. 1 receiver role when Green went down, reeling in three catches for 84 yards and a touchdown. He has WR3 appeal against the Tennessee Titans defense.
