    • A.J. Green is the best wide receiver to use in fantasy football for Week 7.

    Green is getting double-digit targets on a regular basis and is making those targets count. He has a touchdown in three straight games and over 100 yards in two of those games.

    With tight end Tyler Eifert out of the season, more responsibility will be on Green to carry this offense. The Steelers are going to focus in even more on Green, but teams have done that his entire career and he has still be one of the best receivers in the league.

    The Bengals running game has been very disappointing this season. They entered 2017 with three running backs, and none of them have found much space on the ground this season. Andy Dalton has been force to throw the ball a ton through the first five games and game six will be the same.

    This game should be a high-scoring one in Pittsburgh both in real life and in fantasy football. The Bengals are very weak at wide receiver behind Green, so expect Dalton to continue to look his way. There is no way anyone was benching Green in fantasy football, but this should just be a week where he remind us just how good he is.

    Other options: Jarvis Landry (MIA) vs. New York Jets and Brandin Cooks (NE) vs. Atlanta
