A.J. Green said his biggest goal this offseason is to cut down on his drops.
Last year, Green was officially credited with seven drops and Pro Football Focus hit him with 10. He still ranked seventh in receptions (97), tenth in yards (1,351) and fourth in receiving touchdowns (11). Green has spent the past few months working out with the likes of Calvin Johnson and Demaryius Thomas in Atlanta. Apr 16 - 9:02 AM

A.J. Green - WR - Bengals

Andy Dalton expressed regret over not getting A.J. Green involved more in Saturday's Wild Card loss to the Texans.

Green finished with five catches on 11 targets, but none of those targets came in the first half. "Looking back, maybe we should have gone to A.J. a lot more," Dalton said. "He's so talented. He needs to get his catches." Green tied for fifth in the NFL in targets this regular season with 164. He's a lock to be the focal point of the Bengals' offense in 2013.

A.J. Green - WR - Bengals

A.J. Green caught five balls for 80 yards in the Bengals' Wild Card Round loss to the Texans.

Green wasn't targeted once in the first half while Jermaine Gresham turned a team-high four first-half targets into one yard and three dropped passes. It was the first half of Green's career in which he was not targeted. Andy Dalton finally found Green for a 41-yard bomb in the third quarter, exposing Texans CB Johnathan Joseph in single coverage to set up a field goal. Later in the third, Green appeared to quit on a route and the pass was easily picked by Joseph. Dalton simply missed an open Green for what could've been the game-winning touchdown late in the fourth quarter. Green finished the regular season as the No. 4 overall fantasy receiver. He turns 24 before next season, and we like his chances of staying in the same fantasy vicinity in 2013.

A.J. Green - WR - Bengals

A.J. Green caught two passes for 26 yards in his one half of action against the Ravens in Week 17.

Green caught both of his targets, but he wasn't thrown to until the final two minutes of the first half. He joined Andy Dalton on the sideline as a spectator for the second half. Green was a beast in his sophomore season out of Georgia. He ends the year with 97 catches for 1,350 yards and 11 touchdowns. Cincinnati is the No. 6 seed in the AFC, and they'll open the playoffs on the road next weekend.

A.J. Green - WR - Bengals

A.J. Green led the Bengals with 10 catches for 116 yards in Sunday's Week 16 win over the Steelers.

After being shutdown in his first matchup with the Steelers, Green was single-handily the Bengals entire offense, and was targeted 18 times by Andy Dalton. He wasn't able to find the end-zone, but the 10 catches were a season-high and Green almost connected with Dalton on a number of big plays downfield, including what would have been a 58-yard touchdown in the first quarter. The Bengals have already locked up a spot in the playoffs, but they can still win the AFC North with a victory next week against the Ravens if the Giants win.

A.J. Green - WR - Bengals

A.J. Green caught six passes for 57 yards and a touchdown in Cincinnati's 34-13, Week 15 win over the Eagles on Thursday night.

Green saw a team-high ten targets on the night and was shadowed by Eagles CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie the entire evening. Green didn't have much trouble beating DRC, but Andy Dalton missed his No. 1 receiver on a couple of passes. Green's five-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter was the final score of the night and was the receiver's 11th end zone visit of the season. Green was targeted in the end zone on two other occasions, but one was a bad under-throw on a deep ball while the other was a mistimed back-shoulder throw. The Steelers are up next in Week 16. Green managed just one catch for an eight-yard score against Pittsburgh in Week 7.

A.J. Green - WR - Bengals

A.J. Green caught 3-of-8 targets for 44 yards in the Bengals' Week 14 loss to the Cowboys.

Green let a surefire red-zone touchdown slip through his hands on a quick slant and was otherwise neutralized by an aggressive Cowboys pass defense that limited Andy Dalton to just over 200 passing yards. Expect a bounce-back game from Green when the Bengals square off with the Eagles in Week 15.

A.J. Green - WR - Bengals

Despite missing Friday's practice with an illness, Joe Reedy of the Cincinnati Enquirer expects A.J. Green to be "fine" for Week 14.

Green's missed practice may ultimately amount to a day of rest. He's listed as probable for Week 14. Confidently keep Green in your fantasy lineup as he gets set to face the Cowboys' downward-spiraling pass defense.

A.J. Green (illness) was held out of Friday's practice.

"Word is he is sick," tweeted Bengals.com's Geoff Hobson. We wouldn't worry about taking Green out of fantasy lineups at this point. Most late-week illness absences turn out to be 24-hour bugs. Check back this weekend to make sure Green is on track to play.

A.J. Green - WR - Bengals

A.J. Green pulled in nine passes for 85 yards in the Bengals' Week 13 win over the Chargers.

He was targeted a game-high 13 times. Andy Dalton flat missed Green on several downfield and potential scoring opportunities, but Green has been working around Dalton's ups and downs all season long and emerged pretty fine. Expect Green to bounce back with a score in Week 14 against the Cowboys.

A.J. Green - WR - Bengals

The Raiders double-teamed A.J. Green at the goal-line Sunday, halting his nine-game streak with a touchdown.

The Bengals tried to keep the streak late going as teammates urged Andy Dalton to throw the ball to Green no matter what. "But they put two guys on him over there. I'd never seen that," RB BenJarvus Green-Ellis said. It's the kind of coverage Calvin Johnson started seeing in the red zone last season. Still, Green totaled 132 yards on three catches and two runs. He's unstoppable.

A.J. Green caught three balls for 111 yards in the Bengals' Week 12 win over the Raiders.

Green chipped in 21 additional yards on a pair of rushing attempts. Green only secured three of his nine targets, but Andy Dalton hit him for big gains down the field and he's now over 1,000 receiving yards on the season. Keep Green rolling against the Chargers' slow-footed secondary in Week 13.

A.J. Green - WR - Bengals

Seven of A.J. Green's 10 touchdowns this season have come from inside the 20-yard line.

At 6-foot-4 with incredible body control and hands, Green has become the unquestioned king of the fade pattern. Once the Bengals get in the red zone, Andy Dalton has the ability to audible to the play whenever he sees his No. 1 wideout in single coverage. It's led to a touchdown in nine straight games heading into Sunday's matchup with the Raiders' 24th-ranked pass defense.

A.J. Green - WR - Bengals

A.J. Green caught six passes for 91 yards with a touchdown in the Bengals' 28-6 Week 11 win over the Chiefs.

Green continues to be the most unstoppable wideout this side of Calvin Johnson. The Chiefs did not shadow him with Brandon Flowers and they paid the price early, when he beat Javier Arenas for a ridiculous catch on a goal-line fade. From there, Green got open at will with double moves and went over 85 yards for the third straight game. He now has a touchdown in nine consecutive games and is averaging 91.1 yards per day. Green has a great chance to stretch that scoring streak against the Raiders next week.

A.J. Green - WR - Bengals

A.J. Green caught seven passes for 85 yards and a touchdown in Cincinnati's Week 10 win over the Giants.

Left all alone on a play-action rollout on the Bengals' opening drive, Green waltzed into the end zone for a 56-yard touchdown. His afternoon was quiet thereafter, but the damage was already done in a game the Bengals would go on to win 31-13. The best wide receiver in the league without the "Megatron" moniker, Green has 58 catches for 820 yards and nine touchdowns through nine games.
