Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green continues to be one of the biggest fantasy disappointments of the 2017 season.

Is A.J. Green worth playing in your league’s fantasy championship?

That’s continued into the fantasy playoffs, as Green has caught just 23 balls for 287 yards and three scores over his last five games. It’s not his fault, however, as Cincinnati has been one of the worst teams in football this season.
Green has been an unfortunate victim of this team having a disastrous season, which has included them ranking near the bottom of every offensive category.
Making things worse for Cincinnati is starting offensive tackles Cedric Ogbuehi and Andre Smith will be out, so Andy Dalton will be under siege throughout this game, making it very hard for him to get the ball to Green.
Fantasy Impact: Green now faces a Lions defense allowing the eighth-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers over the last five weeks. Play it safe this week and put Green on the bench.
