Green sat out Wednesday's practice with a knee injury, but it was never considered anything that could jeopardize his status for Week 3. The Bengals will square off vs. the desperate Baltimore Ravens in what will likely be a difficult road matchup, meaning the team will do just about whatever it takes to get their star receiver onto the field.
Fantasy impact: The Ravens secondary may have kept Peyton Manning and company out of the end zone in Week 1, but Derek Carr, Amari Cooper and the rest of the Raiders offense ran roughshod over them in Week 2. The Ravens will once again be tested by Green, who hung 131 yards and a touchdown on them in the only time he faced them in 2014.
Green is a must-start WR1 for Week 3, versus an opponent that he has gashed in the past. There shouldn’t be any ambiguity regarding his status, and fantasy owners can pen him into their lineups without a second thought.
