A.J. Green News
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver A.J. Green announced his retirement from professional football on his official Instagram page on Monday. Green really tailed off in his second season with the Cardinals in 2022, catching just 24 passes on 47 targets for 236 yards and two touchdowns in 15 games (10 starts), despite both DeAndre Hopkins and Marquise Brown missing time due to a suspension and an injury, respectively. But Green did have a 77-yard touchdown reception in his final game in Week 18 against the San Francisco 49ers. The 34-year-old entered the league as the fourth overall pick in 2011 by the Cincinnati Bengals, and he was one of the best receivers in the NFL in his first seven seasons. Green made the Pro Bowl seven straight times to begin his career and reached the 1,000-yard mark in six of those seven seasons. He finishes with 727 catches (1,269 targets) for 10,514 yards and 70 touchdowns in 158 career games.
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver A.J. Green caught three of his five targets for 91 yards and a touchdown in the 38-13 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 18. It was Green's highest yardage total of the season and his third-highest total as a member of the Arizona Cardinals. The 34-year-old wide receiver finishes his 12th NFL season with 24 catches for 236 yards and two touchdowns. He'll be a free agent this off-season, but he's likely close to retiring as his play has mightily declined. It would be surprising if he was a fantasy-relevant wideout in 2023.
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver A.J. Green (illness) was back on the practice field on Thursday after missing Wednesday's walkthrough session. He was officially listed as limited. Barring some sort of setback with his illness, the 34-year-old should be fine to play in Week 17 against the Atlanta Falcons, but fantasy managers will want to stay far away from him. The seven-time Pro Bowler remains well behind DeAndre Hopkins, Marquise Brown and Greg Dortch on the receiver totem pole, and he's also battling Robbie Anderson for targets from quarterback Colt McCoy. Green didn't see a single target in the Week 16 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and has just two catches for 12 yards in the last four games.
