A.J. Green, WR, Cincinnati Bengals
FanDuel Price: $8,700
Projected Points: 15.5
After two slow weeks, A.J. Green rebounded exploded with 10 catches for 173 yards and touchdown against the Miami Dolphins on Thursday night. That marked the second game this season that he has topped 170 receiving yards.
According to Pro Football Focus, Green has lined up outside on nearly 80% of his snaps this season, which will pit him against Brandon Carr and Morris Claiborne on Sunday. Claiborne is Pro Football Focus’ 29th-best cornerback this year, while Carr ranks 82nd and has allowed 0.30 fantasy points per route to opposing wide receivers this season.
Green has seen 30.77% of the Cincinnati Bengals’ targets, which is the fourth-highest share of any player. He's a good play regardless, but he could see more targets with Tyler Eifert iffy this week.
