A.J. Green expected to miss time with foot injury

[Mike FF Today 607]

Per Adam Schefter...

 

Bengals’ WR AJ Green is scheduled to meet with Dr. Robert Anderson this week to diagnose his foot injury, per source. They will try to figure out if surgery is needed but for now, Green - who is still in a walking boot - is expected to miss “some games”. Trying to avoid surgery.

 

This is a big blow to the Bengals offense. Having Green on the field opens up Tyler Boyd in the slot. We'll have to see how the Bengals adjust.

A.J. Green (toe) was scheduled to visit foot specialist Dr. Robert Anderson during the bye week.

Green went to Green Bay to see what Anderson had to say about his swollen toe. According to Rapoport, "everything" is on the table for Green, including surgery. The star wideout's status for Week 10 can't be taken for granted. If Green misses time, it would open up targets for Tyler Boyd and C.J. Uzomah, among others.

 

Im ready to panic trade this guy before official news comes out!! Julio Jones? Sanders? Hoping the other owners in my league are clueless. Of course they wont be tho. What you all doing?

[jrokh 567]

That stinks for AJ, don't have him this year, but I wish him well. Big hit for Dalton owners in Superflex or 2QB leagues. The real question is does this help (more targets) or hurt (tougher coverage) Tyler Boyd?

Little late honestly.

[Ehlana 25]

I'd say it hurts boyd. Doesn't do any favours for Mixon either.

[tanatastic 2,061]

Makes Boyd a top wr1 if he wasnt already. Just gives him more volume.

[huskyhater75 242]

Why not......................he was having a pretty damned good year for me, hope the best for him.

[jimaveli 119]

He bows out of his best seasons with injuries regularly. He costed me a championship a few years ago with a mysterious hammy ailment that went week to week until the season was over.

Unfortunately I know that, I've had him before. Thanks, good luck this week!

[eagles115 23]

Green is just a soft cookie. In fact hes over rated.

I remember that very well. I was able to trade him and Dez Bryant for Antonion Brown, haven't looked back since.

Stats show he's pretty good-when he's playing.

[eagles115 23]

Na he sucks. Gets hurt every year. Now he prolly done for the year. He sucks

[huskyhater75 242]

HAHA whatever, have a nice day...……………………...

[tanatastic 2,061]

Yea this will be my last year valuing him highly. Great player but too unreliable.

[bmeadows 4]

With AJ Green possibly out a few weeks, who is his replacement? John Ross? He's only caught 7 balls all year and a meager 79 yards and 2TD's.

[weepaws 2,452]

Rise the bar for Boyd owners.

 

If he Green playes in less then 13 games this season it would be his third season in doing so in the past five.

 

When he does play a true wr1, but would agree hard to trust him going forward.

[bmeadows 4]

Boyd will definitely get a bump, but who is the other receiver that is going to get more targets if Green misses time?

[weepaws 2,452]

Would guess it’s going to be Ross.

 

But don’t know.

 

Gio if he’s back might even play a little more offten with his rec skills.

 

So Gio might even be more valuable going forward.

[tanatastic 2,061]

I like Uzomah if Green misses time. Ross def gains value though.

[Kent 228]

I said to someone here asking about a trade for him to not do it since he gets hurt a lot. Hope he didnt do it.

[Mike FF Today 607]

Update from Adam Schefter...

 

He will not need foot surgery, but Bengals’ WR AJ Green is expected to miss at least two games before doctors re-evaluate his foot injury to determine when he can play again, per source.

I own Green in a couple leagues, both teams I am tied for 1st.

 

I am struggling with what to do with him. My brain says that this foot injury could be an issue for the remainder of the year, and it may be best to trade him while I can. However, I hate trading down in talent, and because I am a shoe in for the playoffs, I do have the luxury of potentially taking a couple Losses in the short term...

I’m also in first place but can’t afford a few losses. I’d love to deal him and don’t think he has even been great anyway.

hes been pretty good. Problem is that my teams weakness is at receiver, so hard to trade him straight up for a receiver i like.

[jrokh 567]

Boyd will definitely get a bump, but who is the other receiver that is going to get more targets if Green misses time?

read somewhere that someone named Josh Malone would be Green's replacement.

[weepaws 2,452]

Would be hard to trade away a talent like Green who’s been a wr1 this season.

 

Because right now you won’t get back a return near is value when he returns.

 

I would sit if you can and wait it out.

 

But you can also make a few phone calls and do a little fishing, just to see who might be biting.

 

Anyone good luck with this tough decision.

[CookieG 4]

I'm in the camp that despite a likely increase in targets this deal with Green's foot is gonna completely mess with my boy Tyler Boyd's effectiveness. :-(

[handbanana 47]

Agreed. Boyd benefits from the coverage sliding to Green who knows if he can be The Man with Green our.

 

Frustrating as I own Green in one league and Boyd in the other. Ugh

[weepaws 2,452]

I’m starting Boyd with all luck.

 

I think he will be just as good as he has been and maybe even better.

[CookieG 4]

From your keyboard to God's ears man. I'm starting him too w fingers crossed.

[tanatastic 2,061]

Boyd has been must start all year regardless.

[lowman 4]

Over/under Ross

4 receptions 50 yards?

[stonewall 647]

Over/under Ross

4 receptions 50 yards?

 

I am thinking about adding Ross. He is fully practicing, and has an opportunity to finally showcase that first round talent (#9 overall last year). They will have to push the ball down the field to hang with the Saints.

 

I'll take the over.

[lowman 4]

Thinking about starting him too. Would love to see one game first. But sounds like he might only be relevant for a couple weeks.

[Ron Silversmoke 2]

Ive been offered LOCKET for AJ. Should I bite ?

 

Im fighting for one of the last playoffs spots. The other owner is looking to stash for playoffs

[weepaws 2,452]

Depends on the rest of your WRs.

[American Chewy 98]

traded AJ for michel today. figured it was the best i was going to do. worried about even if Green does play he's not going to be 100% ROS. I already have one decoy WR in baldwin. michel isn't some pinnacle of health but at least he's trending toward playing and could be a high end RB2 ROS.

[weepaws 2,452]

Seems like a lot for Green.

 

What other Rbs does the other owner have?

[tanatastic 2,061]

He will miss 3 games and prob another 1-2 as a decoy. Get whatever you can for him.
