Any bengals fans out there that can drop some knowledge about this fella? Is he usually a big part of the game plan? He ended last year with a bang but only has had a couple of solid games this year.

I dont own the dude but with emergence of Aj Green and Gresham likely out today, I've got a hunch he puts up double digit numbers.

Ditto. I am thinking Finnegan gets Green, which should leave the other side with a decent matchup no? I'll admit, this guy has been on the end of my bench all season, and was never a thought....until now with all the injuries and byes.

Is he in 2 WR sets?

Bengals 34, Seahawks 12AJ Green racked up an offense-leading 56 snaps in Week 8 and is up to 411 on the year, which also leads the offense. Jerome Simpson was just behind at 49 snaps this week. Andre Caldwell played only 20 – his lowest total since Week 1. Andrew Hawkins (four) and Brandon Tate (one) saw limited action. With Jermaine Gresham out, Colin Cochart returned to the lineup with 35 snaps. He played ahead of Donald Lee, who was in on 32 plays. With Cedric Benson out, Bernard Scott managed 35 snaps. Brian Leonard ran a pass route on 14 of his 23 snaps and Cedric Peerman filled in with five snaps of his own.

He's had 7-9 targets in 4/7 games this year. I'd say those games are more indicative of his usage than the other games. Two of the games where he had less were during his scandal and then last week against Seattle he just caught one pass, but it was for a TD.

I think he's the #2 option in the passing game as long as Gresham is out. With Gresham in they are probably 2a and 2b.

So yes, they use him a lot, and if you need a WR he's not a bad option. In my PPR league he sits at WR46 in PPG which is a low-end WR4, but if you expect him to get 7-9 targets he is probably a WR3.

With Gresham out I think he's a solid play. Plugging him in as my flex over the Floyd/Crayton mess.
