The Cincinnati Bengals' passing offense was one of the NFL's more disappointing units last season, with their 0.00 Adjusted Passing NEP per play only good for 21st in the league. Despite this, A.J. Green still demonstrated how good a receiver he truly is, especially in the red zone.

Green enjoyed a 29.60% team target share in the red zone, the eighth-highest among qualified players. He caught 7 of his 16 targets in this area of the field, which led to 6 touchdowns.

Despite trailing the other four players on this list in terms of Target NEP per target, Green was second of the five in terms of Reception NEP per target, with a mark of 1.24.
