A.J. Green was the one bright spot in what was otherwise an ugly Week 1 for the Cincinnati Bengals offense. The Pro Bowl wideout caught five passes for 74 yards in the Bengals home opener. He dominated his matchups all game and had good gains after the catch.

Green will have a size and strength advantage over the Houston Texans’ corners this week. However, the Texans defense is stingy — they did not allow more than three receptions to any wide receivers in Week 1. Still, Green is a strong pass option that the Texans will struggle to contain.
Fantasy impact: Green’s night will be greatly affected by QB Andy Dalton’s ability to get him the ball, but when the ball is in his hands, expect big things to happen. His abilities to dominate matchups and produce yards after the catch are undeniable. Regardless of how the rest of the Bengals are playing, Green has a high fantasy ceiling and will see a lot of targets Thursday night.
