A.J. Green, WR, Cincinnati Bengals
One of the game's most talented receivers faces an Indianapolis defense that looks to be one of the weakest in the league. That, Zeidenfeld points out in his Daily fantasy best buys column, makes for a golden opportunity for Green.
"We picked on the Colts' secondary last year as they were one of the worst teams in terms of defending the deep ball both in terms of volume and efficiency," he writes. "That doesn't look like it's going to change at all this season and the Bengals have a tasty matchup against them in Week 1. When we factor in AJG's fast starts in each of the past three seasons (fourth, third and seventh in receiving yardage in the first four games, respectively), and his market share of overall and red zone targets for Cincinnati on top of the deep ball upside, he provides one of the highest floor and ceiling combos on the slate."
