8. Cincinnati Bengals (9)

Once again, A.J. Green showed just how dangerous the Cincinnati Bengals can be on offense when he’s playing some of his best football.

Green was simply unstoppable against the Jets on Sunday after hauling in 12 catches on 13 targets for 180 yards to go along with a touchdown in the team’s 23-22 win. Defense has always been a key factor in Cincinnati’s success over the last couple of years, but the argument can be made this team wouldn’t see as much success if it wasn’t for Green in the passing game.

If Green finds this type of success against one of the league’s top defenses, just imagine what could be in store for the remainder of the season. Assuming he stays healthy, Green could be in for his best year yet with the Bengals, and he will leave plenty of smiles on the faces of fantasy football owners.
