The Facts: Whether it was in one-on-ones, seven-on-sevens or full-team drills, it didn't matter. Whenever Andy Dalton threw a football in Green's direction during the Bengals' open organized team activity practice Tuesday, the veteran wide receiver was practically assured of catching the pass, regardless of how good the coverage on him was. There might have been just one throw all day in which they didn't connect. "That's what they're supposed to do," teammate Adam Jones said. "Those guys have been together what, five or six years now? The chemistry between those two should be like a bolt nut. It should go in every time."
Diehards Line:
Selected by the Bengals in the first and second rounds of the 2011 draft, Green and Dalton are entering their sixth seasons. The Dalton-Green combination has averaged 79 completions the past five seasons, and that includes numbers from Green's injury-riddled 2014, and Dalton's injury-plagued 2015. Last season, Dalton missed the final three regular-season games with a broken thumb. The year before that, Green missed parts of six games because of toe and head injuries. Since 2011, the Dalton-to-Green connection has yielded 40 touchdown passes, including double-digit totals in 2012 and 2013. However, that connection has engineered 31 interceptions for defenses, too, including 12 in 2013. Still, fantasy owners looking for a wideout capable of putting up elite totals at a slightly less than elite price shouldn't overlook Green.
