AJ Green, Mohamed Sanu, Andy Dalton's Post-Week 13 Fantasy Reaction

Those hoping a trip to Tampa Bay would bring some semblance of consistency back to the Cincinnati Bengals offense were sorely mistaken. The Bengals were able to pull out a 14-13 victory on the back of their defense but saw the wild inconsistencies of Andy Dalton nearly cost them the game.    

Dalton had his fourth multi-interception game of the season, tossing three picks across 27 attempts to halt at least one potential scoring drive. The Bengals quarterback finished with 176 yards and a touchdown, throwing a 13-yard score to A.J. Green in the third quarter.

The touchdown helped salvage an otherwise shrug-worthy day for Green, who had four receptions for 57 yards. Mohamed Sanu was only targeted three times en route to a two-reception, 19-yard performance.

While disappointing, Sunday's contest was nothing new. Dalton is in the midst of his least-productive season from a fantasy standpoint, and it's trickling down to his teammates. He's thrown as many interceptions as touchdowns (13) and has gone without a touchdown as many times as he's had two or more.

Green's return from a month-long absence earlier this month hasn't helped matters as much as expected. He's gone over the 100-yard mark twice in five games since returning and has scored three touchdowns, but the passing game has lacked in downfield opportunities. Since a 77-yard reception in Week 1, Green hasn't had a catch of longer than 38 yards.

From a fantasy perspective Green is still a No. 1 receiver—it just might be on the lower end of things. He'll probably be a fringe top-10 guy the rest of the way. Until we see an indicator otherwise, owners will have to bank on red-zone opportunities rather than the big play.

Neither Sanu nor Dalton should be owned at this point. Sanu has largely returned to irrelevancy since Green's return, posting three games of 23 or fewer yards in his last four. Dalton is bad at fantasy for the same reasons he's been bad in real life. He's basically a human Yuck sticker at this point.
