Re: WR Size & Red-Zone Efficiency
A.J. Green reported to Bengals offseason workouts "6-10 pounds heavier" than his usual playing weight.
Green "wanted a stronger upper body to be more physical." As Rotoworld guest writer Jonathan Bales has shown, added weight for wideouts has historically translated to superior red-zone production. So while it might concern us if a tailback was talking about adding weight, possibly costing him burst, we don't mind it at all for a player like Green. He weighed 211 at the 2011 Combine.
