The word back around the trade deadline was that he didn't get traded because the Bengals are planning to extend him and he wants to be there. I don't know how much truth there was to that. I also don't know if he is really fully healthy.

Didn't Cincinnati draft an OT Johan Williams from Alabama last year?
Isn't he healing from shoulder surgery?
If healthy, he should be an upgrade somewhere on that OL.

I technically have never had him. I drafted him for the first time in his career this year, so yeah.I no longer have AJ on any team, yet check this tread every time it’s updated

I just got an alert, Green is ‘out’ this week

I drafted Green in the 7th, expecting he would be miss a month or so, alas, not to be.
I ask this question, I wonder if there has ever been an instance where a (non-holdout) player was:
1) Not on the practice squad
2) Inactive for every game
3) Never went on IR

Held this guy all damn year because I can keep him with a 10th next year. Probably sign with Jax and go 17-190-0 before hurting himself again.

This guy either 1) took a team that has treated him extremely well for a BS ride for 3 months or 2) is extraordinarily brittle.
His ankle swelled up two months ago.

Damn, he would look good in Baltimore.

This is what I am betting.. With his age and this injury with the absence, I have a hard time believing he is going to be a WR1 anytime soon.

Really? Seems like a no brainer for Green to be rostered at this point in the season in keeper/dynasty leagues. It's basically a free square to see if he signs with a different team next year and then you could decide if he's worth keeping at that point.

One really big problem. WRs that change teams have a horrendous track record and this guy is 31 with major injury history.

I think the track record changes if you limit the comparison to WRs with Green's resume, but admittedly it still is not a guaranteed success story.

Lol, because they are the BENGALS! That's why. I was stupid enough to draft him having forgotten this fact. I assumed that since he wasn't IR'd that the professionals knew he'd be back by week 6 or so. I forgot that the professionals that I was relying on are employed BY THE BENGALS!

It's certainly a possibility. Seems like just the kind of WR they would target in free agency.

I'm not going to shy away but he is a player that I will try to get on the cheap. Like you said, he will be drafted in extreme varying spots in different leagues. I'll probably only land him in a quarter of my leagues but that is probably a good thing since he does present a lot of risk.

I don't like that he said 'if I can stay healthy'....that's a huge red flag to me.

i personally think he only sat out the second half of the season so they could get 1.1 and he could get healthy and stay healthy for his contract year. So I'm concerned about the injury history, but not about his current health.

Green would not sit out the season in a contract year just to let Cincy get the 1.01. I think he sat out because the team was a trainwreck and he was worried about getting out their at less than 100% and sucking

Right totally agree. Im just saying the team would have been howling except they were chasing 1.1. So both sides agreed that it would be best just to let him get healthy and deal with next year next year.
I think AJG has been healthy enough to play since around mid-season. I don't think his decision to not play was in the least bit a mutual decision between him and the team, it was all him.
My guess is at first he was not in a hurry to come back until the trade deadline was over. Don't think he wanted to be traded, did not care to show the rest of the league he was healthy. After the trade deadline they sit Dalton and I think at that point he just figured he'd just string the team on all year and just go ahead and get out of the year healthy.
I thought what he did was pretty sorry. I recall at least one Bengal beat writer calling him out and saying the team needed to move on from his charades but by and large he was not nearly ripped apart in the national or local media like I think he deserved to be, like I think a lot of other players would have been.
But for fantasy purposes I think he's healthy, think he has 1-2 good years left with good QB play and is to me a really good bargain right now in both redraft and dynasty.
