  Smitty, read Evan Silva's new Top 150 rankings this morning.  I noticed that he, and other analysts from other sites, usually say the same thing about AJ Green.  Super talented, but Dalton holds him back.

  
  

  I know you might have explained this already at some point in the past, but can you explain again why you feel so confident in Green and his QB that he'll get 18 tds this year and is worthy of a first round pick?

  cause he is the 2nd best wr on the planet behind Calvin....and he can catch anything even his rubber arm qb can throw his way kinda like Fitz did in the day..

  He's worthy of a first-rounder in dynasty leagues.  Not sure about redraft.

  Calvin did great with a pish posh of QBs his first few years, but we've seen what a quality QB has done for a super talented WR.

  
  

  I agree with rickok that I'd probably go another direction at his ADP in redraft, but in dynasty a case could be made for #1 overall

  This. I mean, would he be even better with a polished QB? Sure, but lets not forget, Dalton is good enough, and I had him and Ryan last year... he outscored Ryan for a string of games early on during the 2012 season, it was frustrating enough that I had to hesitate on starting Ryan for a grip of games in a row.

  
  

  Dalton is no stud, but he can deliver the football in decent enough fashion.

  Dalton is settling in Cincinnati with more weapons in his third year as QB. Three years is a average time for the light to go on for most guys. And this will only make AJ Green become better as the best WR to own.

  My league is a non PPR 12 person league having a roster of 19 players each. Active roster includes 1Qb 2Rb's 3Wr's 1Te 1K 1Def. Two weeks before draft we cut the roster down to 9 keepers. My team as of now:
  QB Russell Wilson, EJ Manuel, Jason Campbell
  RB Lamar Miller, Shane Vereen, Zac Stacy, Knowshon Moreno
  WR AJ Green, Julio Jones, Josh Gordon, Rueben Randle, Robert Woods, Kenny Stills
  TE J Reed, M. Bennett
  DEF Kansas City
  K Adam Vinatieri

  Cincy's got way more weapons this year. While there are more mouths to feed in Cincy, it will help AJ Green a lot; he's still the main beneficiary of those passes Dalton throws. Cincy's stacked on offense sans a 2nd dependable wr across Green.
