The Facts:
No one can ever say Hue Jackson doesn't support his players. The Bengals' new OC told SiriusXM NFL Radio last week that his QB/WR duo of Andy Dalton and A.J. Green is the best in the business.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
"I think they're the best in the game in my opinion," Jackson said. "I know people will fight that and say differently, but I've watched these guys and these guys have grown. They came in together. They started off hot, they're still hot. Every year statistically, they've gotten better."
Jackson continued: "I think both of these guys are in the prime of their careers. I wouldn't change the two guys I have for anybody at this point because these guys know how to do it together. ..." As NFL.com suggested, the QB half of that equation is easier to question than the WR portion. Green is clearly cemented as a top-five receiver and has escalated his play in each of his three 1,000-plus-yard seasons while Dalton's shaky postseason performances and wild inconsistency -- and stats ballooned by Green's jump-ball ability probably won't be viewed among the elite at his position. But should fantasy football owners be surprised at a coach pimping his players? No more than we should be at fantasy owners doing the same with theirs.
