The 10 Best Wide Receivers for the 2014 Fantasy Season
3. A.J. Green, Cincinnati Bengals
| Receptions | Yards | Touchdowns | Fantasy Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| 96.68 | 1,446.77 | 10.65 | 207.66 |
“Adriel Jeremiah Green!”, as Cincinnati Bengal’s radio broadcaster Dan Hoard loves to put it, comes in as the number three wide receiver, and rightfully so. According to Pro-Football-Reference.com, Green has finished as the fourth-best fantasy receiver two seasons in a row. Green also finished fourth in Reception NEP last year, posting a mark of 127.49.
Green is another safe, consistently high-scoring player who has only missed one game during his three-year NFL career. He was the third-highest targeted receiver last year, and with the injury to breakout candidate Marvin Jones, we shouldn't expect that to change. Now if all of that doesn’t convince you to trust Green, maybe this will: in a standard PPR format, Green only had one game in which he failed to record a double-digit fantasy score last season.
