Fantasy Riser: A.J. Green Keeps Pulling Us Back In

I’m not ready to move on from Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green.

I remember back in the 2011 NFL Draft, a common debate was who was better, Green or Julio Jones? Which receiver would go first, who had the better situation, the better quarterback, the better fantasy career?

I think you give a slight edge to Jones (who went sixth overall, two picks behind Green), but I also have to wonder what kind of career Green would’ve had with Matt Ryan as his quarterback instead of Andy Dalton.

We may get a small taste of that difference in 2020 with the arrival of rookie soon-to-be sensation QB Joe Burrow.
