Andy Dalton slowly won back some fantasy football owners in Week 11 against the New Orleans Saints with three touchdown passes. In Week 12, he put together another decent day with his favorite receivers also having standout days.
A.J. Green is once again looking the part of a No. 1 receiver after a few subpar performances early in his return. Meanwhile, Mohamed Sanu's demise with Green back on the field simply hasn't happened as he caught another touchdown against the Houston Texans.

Dalton already had 151 passing yards and a touchdown prior to the end of the first half. His chemistry with both Green and Sanu has been huge lately as he looks the part of a potential QB1 in deep leagues heading into the playoff stretch.
His leading receiver being back also helps. Jeff Darlington of NFL.com notes how important Green has been in the offense recently:
Even with the dynamic receiver cruising to yet another strong day, his counterpart in Sanu continues to shine. Both wideouts should be owned in fantasy leagues with Green returning to WR1 status and Sanu serving as a solid flex option.
The Bengals face a porous pass defense in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers next week, so expect all three to post big numbers. Heading into a crucial game for most owners, the Bengals' weapons can carry fantasy teams.
