Ian Rapoport (NFL Network) is reporting that TE Tyler Eifert will not return from offseason ankle surgery until sometime between Weeks 4 and 6. (Ian Rapaport on Twitter )

Fantasy Impact:

Between Eifert's late return and Brandon Lafell's hand injury and general ineffectiveness, WR Tyler Boyd has a great opportunity to carve out a significant role in this offense opposite A.J. Green. Boyd has been generating rave reviews throughout the offseason with his play, and is now poised to open the season as the No. 2 target in Cincy. Boyd is definitely worth a flyer in the double-digit rounds of your upcoming drafts, or a waiver claim if your league drafted early.
