How so? I haven't heard anything about Cincy actively shopping Green. If they aren't trying to get rid of him, or actively listening to offers, how is KC waiting to see what happens with Hill going to cause them to "lose out on Green?"

Well this conversation all just started out on speculation that Cinci would be considering shopping him. No real rumor, but it isnt an illogical thought. He is not young, they dont seem all that close to really competing for a championship, and he is in his final year of his contract.
If he is a candidate for trade, and KC waits out Hill's fate, they could miss out on him. The context was all based on the premise that Cinci may consider shopping him. Its fantasy fantasy.

Last I read the Bengals are working to extend Green's contract.ChuckLiddell said:
Everything you said in your third sentence is true but NFL teams don't always operate like dynasty fantasy football owners. It's tough for a GM to admit their team is not all that close to really competing for a championship because their shelf life in their position isn't very long and it's hard for owners to give away the player whose jersey 50% of their fans are showing up wearing on NFL Sundays. They need people to show up and with no stars on the team that makes filling the stadium tougher.

Dont disagree. Like I said, it was all just speculation. Other teams, like the Dolphins and Raiders took an approach contrary to the one you are describing and more comparable to the one I am describing. Both cases involved new coaching staffs and fresh starts. Cinci is in a similar situation. I know there are a bazillion examples that would support your statement as well - thats why this was always just speculation on a fantasy football site. I really thought that was clear all along.

So, do I have this correct? Some fan site floated the idea of KC trading for AJG. Been no other substantiated news or rumors from major sourcing, and in fact all reporting has been Cincy is working on an extension, and still the past 3 days here have been spent dreaming about and arguing over the merits of a trade to KC? Is that what’s going on?

This sounds ungood...
A.J. Green was carted to the locker room with an apparent left foot injury Saturday.
It appears to be a legitimate injury, as Green was on crutches leaving the facility. Green talked with team doctors on the sideline before standing up, punching the bench, yelling in frustration, and then hopping on a cart to head inside. Green has never had any issues with his left foot in the past, as both previous toe injuries were to his right foot. Either way, we hope Green has avoided anything serious here. He was poised for a rebound year in coach Zac Taylor's offense. We'll provide an update when one is available.

Tough offseason for Cincy

I’ve had a really tough time ranking him. If he’s healthy, I think hecan be as high as top 10.
I really struggled with green versus diggs and Theilen.
This makes me feel better about moving him down.
All of that said, he’s got about six weeks to be ready. If he winds up falling into the fourth or fifth round, he may wind up being a league winner if he stays healthy

Gut punch.
That offense went into the tank last year when AJ was out, had a crippling effect on Dalton.
Could be a long year in the Nati.

I fear that you are correct. I’ve been really high on mixing, but with this and injuries to the offense of line, I’m starting to become nervous about him.

Sprained ankle? Good thing there are 6 weeks before the season starts.

Even if he is completely healthy come week one, this affects a lot of things if he misses time.
Their learning a new offense, and getting reps during camp obviously matters. This can also affect his game conditioning.Their learning a new offense, and getting reps during camp obviously matters. This can also affect his game conditioning.

Of course, but being completely healthy week one is still a lot better than most things hay get you carted off the field.

I had a strict “no bengals” policy last year. Worked out well for me. I love AJ Green. I’m not sold on Dalton. Mixon also seems less than durable. There’s just something about the bengals...they may have inadvertently angered an old gypsy woman, incurring her wrath & a host of hexes & jinxes.

Avoids serious injury and should be a go for the start of the season.
I like Green if he's healthy and he 'should be' for the start of the year.
Could be a bargain buy from antsy AJ owners ready to pull the rip-cord.

If AJ Green's ADP drops even more, he'll be able to get you wins every week he's healthy, at a much lower price. Since he usually misses games later in the year anyway, you'll be getting a better deal this year up front.

Yeah I never feel good drafting WRs with TC/PS lower leg injuries. Turns 31 this week so he could easily have 2-3-4 more seasons at his typically high level.
We could also be looking at him potentially misting 4 or more games for the third time in four years. On a historical PPG basis he still has value but what round do you target him at? 6th or later?

As long as I can get him for the last month of the fantasy season into the playoffs (Week 10-16), my team can handle it until then.

With Ross battling a hamstring injury, and Green being shelved for 6-8 weeks, have to think Tyler Boyd's ADP is starting to shoot up.
Even still, he might be the best WR to own on this squad. I love AJ Green -- and I think he will return and contribute. This seemed more of a fluke injury than anything else, but still makes you wonder at what point time starts to catch him.
