Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green will be active for the team's Week 13 matchup against the Denver Broncos, at least according to Green. The All-Pro wideout has missed the last three games with a toe injury and the Bengals have lost all of those.

A.J. Green says he will play Sunday against the Broncos. Said it won’t take long to develop chemistry with Jeff Driskel. “Just put the ball somewhere; I’ll get it,” Green said.

Longtime starting quarterback Andy Dalton is out for the season, so Jeff Driskel will take over the reins. If you think this will impact Green's fantasy production, he certainly does not share that sentiment. When asked about his chemistry with Driskel, Green simply said, "Just put the ball somewhere; I'll get it."

Well, OK then. It certainly seems like someone is ready to get back on the field.

Marvin Lewis on the possibility of AJ Green playing this Sunday: “It’s good to have AJ back, (but he has) to work through the week.” Said AJ’s anxious to get back on the field. When we talked to AJ in the locker room he said he’s been cleared to return to practice. #Bengals

Green should still be considered a mid-level WR1 going into Week 13 but, of course, there is some uncertainty as to how he and Driskel will connect on a regular basis. On the positive side, though, you know Green will be heavily targeted and his six touchdowns are still tied for the team lead, despite missing the last three games.
