The Cincinnati Bengals have been a disaster this year. Sadly, that’s led to A.J. Green being a bit of a fantasy disappointment for fantasy owners.

Can you rely on A.J. Green in the middle of the fantasy football playoffs?

While Green still ranks among the best wide receivers in terms of fantasy scoring, he’s had way too many duds this year, including seven games in which he’s scored under 10 points. He has also failed to break 100 receiving yards in four straight games.
Much of that is due to him playing for a Bengals team that ranks dead last in total offense this season. Life won’t get any easier this week with an elite Minnesota Vikings defense on deck.
Fantasy Advice: While Minnesota is a great defense overall, they are allowing the 16th-most fantasy points to wide receivers over the last five weeks. Also, star cornerback Xavier Rhodes has a hip injury that has limited him in practice this week. It’s risky, but start Green this week.
