snatchit 108 Posted September 2, 2019 In 8 games last year with terrible coaching, his starting QB out for some of it... he averaged 85 yrds a game and scored 6 TD's Just before he got his contract extension he gets hurt. Even if it takes till week 4, he is going to ball out in the new system. I read all the time, he is a DND for me, I wouldn't take him in the 10th round. I got him in the 6th, and super excited 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AxeElf 787 Posted September 2, 2019 Yeah, if he misses 2-3 games and stays healthy the rest of the year, he's becoming kind of stealish at his falling ADP... but staying healthy the rest of the year is a big if. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GobbleDog 822 Posted September 2, 2019 Passed on Green early 6th, only to have him fall to me early 8th. Had to draft him at that point. Probably out til at least week 2, and not startable until week 4 or 5.?. If he can regain form, great. At worst he won't be any different than the crappy 8th round WRs I could've drafted.

jrokh 571 Posted September 2, 2019 Lockett has never been available in rd 6, not one time in any mock. Williams occasionally is there. AJ Green much more likely, which is the point. My league has an IR spot so I'll give him a look, but I'd rather go QB with Baker over him anyway. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weepaws 2,515 Posted September 2, 2019 Only problem I have with A Green is his lack of ability to stay on the field. On the little board many our tryimg to use his value as trade bait. When he’s the field he’s darn good, but I don’t see how anyond can take him and trust he will stay healthy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is my concern with Green as well. Missed just 1 game in first 3 years including 2 top5 seasons of 1300+/11 Since then has played 16 games just 2 of 5 season; missing 3 games in 2014, 6 in 2016, 7 in 2018, then likely 2-4 at least for 2019. Could pay off big if he lives up to billing when he does play, but he'd likely be off board before I'd consider taking him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got him in the 6th, and super excited In this scenario, the 6th round, he's a great roster addition. From what I've read on here, people were saying don't touch him before the 4th. I didn't see many DND posts with his name being mentioned. Passing on him in the 6th would be foolish. I'll still go with what I've been saying from the start; If you can draft him after the 4th, do so. Not sooner though. And, when he returns, you can likely trade him for serious value as people always remember guys like Green for their heyday. I expect him to have some value the week prior to returning.

I would probably still hold; the Bengals' passing game has been pretty hot so far. The only one of those three I would consider to replace him would be Shepard, because Daniel Jones seems dialed in on him--but that may change when Tate is active and Latimer is healthy. I'm amazed that Shepard is available, though. Gotta love the six-teamers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jgcrawfish 232 Posted September 24, 2019 I've been holding onto AJ in 2 of 3 leagues. In one I'll have Mike Evans, Tyreek Hill (via pending trade), AJ Green and Emmanuel Sanders. In the other Keenan Allen, Tyler Lockett, Cooper Kupp and AJ. I was as all-in on him as I could be. Next week or two should start producing some news on him and I expect he'll be eased back in a bit slowly. But hopefully by season end he's the AJ he used to be (well, the uninjured version).

Green would've blown up. The Bengals won't commit on a time-line... "he's making progress" - same all season. Green was expected out 4 to 8 weeks on draft day... seems closer to 8 weeks at this point. Going to be hard to start him his first start, and Bengals have a bye week in week 9. I regret this pick now... even in the 8th round. Green (31 y.o.) recovering from torn ankle ligaments, has to be damn good week 10 through 16 to justify the pick and for being a giant bench hog. But I'm all in now - go bengals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's looking more like Week 5 now. I'll even give him Week 6. If I'm not starting him by Week 7, I'll be disappointed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnD. 22 Posted September 25, 2019 First year for our IR spot, which is currently being occupied by AJ, so it's working out well as far as not being a problem for roster spots. I am waiting patiently to trot him out as my flex. Having the WR package of Evans, Thielen, McLaurin and AJ will be pretty solid come late season/playoff time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldtimer 84 Posted September 25, 2019 I only have him in one league, and it's a redraft where I got him late, so not a big deal. I'm hoping he comes back and gets rolling prior to the fantasy playoffs. If it's week 10, so be it. I don't think he's needed by many fantasy owners as late as he was going, so nothing lost, but he could be a nice addition for the playoff run. On that note, with his injuries piling up these past few years, and the fact he will be 32, this is the last year I would take a chance on him unless he falls really late in drafts again next year. In my dynasty leagues, the owners can't even get a 2nd round rookie draft pick for him. His value currently is non-existent. As always though, it will change if he comes back and has a couple decent games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skinny_Bastard 154 Posted September 25, 2019 He's peaked. At 32 years old, his numbers going to be like Larry Fitz. 1,000 yards 5-6 TD a season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fitz has also feasted in garbage time in a couple of games so far, so I agree that he is probably ahead of what will eventually be his year-long stats. I sold high on him this morning, packaging him and Olsen for Le'Veon Bell and DK Metcalf--age for youth at WR, and depth at TE for badly needed RB help (I still have Hooper and Watson, and this is a 16 team league where I lost Lamar Miller in preseason, leaving me with only Chris Carson and Chris Thompson as viable RBs).
