Nov. 18 (UPI) -- Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green will not play on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens due to a toe injury.

Green was expected to test out the injury in pregame warmups after not practicing this week. He was spotted standing around with coaches and was not running routes. He was listed as doubtful for the AFC North clash.

Bengals wide receiver Josh Malone is also inactive for the game, along with cornerback KeiVarae Russell, linebackers Preston Brown and Nick Vigil, offensive lineman Cedric Ogbuehi and defensive lineman Adolphus Washington.

Wide receiver John Ross -- who was listed as questionable -- will play for the Bengals.

From a fantasy football perspective, look for a higher usage rate for Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd. Bengals running back Joe Mixon should also see more targets in the passing game. I expect Boyd to be a low-end WR1 and Ross has some WR3 or flex appeal in deeper leagues.

The Ravens are allowing the seventh-fewest fantasy points per game and the second-fewest yards to opposing wide receivers in 2018.
