Tyler Boyd

Tyler Boyd is a surprise inactive for Thursday night's game against the Texans.

Fantasy Impact

Boyd is coming off a Week 1 performance where he caught just one pass. He is making way on Thursday night for rookie John Ross who looks to have jumped Boyd on the depth chart.

Tyler Boyd pulled in one reception for 11 yards in Week 1 against the Ravens.

Fantasy Impact

With A.J. Green and Brandon LaFell in front of him, Boyd will be the wide receiver number three in Cincinnati, making him only worth a deep dart throw in the deepest of leagues.

Tyler Boyd caught is sole target for a gain of 12 yards in the Bengals' 23-17 loss to the Redskins Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Boyd is unlikely to be a fantasy factor this season with so many weapons ahead of him in Cincinnati.

Tyler Boyd caught two of three targets for 39 yards on Sunday against the Ravens. He added 15 yards rushing on one attempt. He finished the season with 603 yards receiving and 58 yards rushing.

Fantasy Impact

Boyd became more involved after A.J. Green's injury, but remained second fiddle to Brandon LaFell. With LaFell likely to depart after this season, Boyd will make an intriguing sleeper option in 2017.

Tyler Boyd was limited to two catches for 25 yards in the Cincinnati Bengals' 12-10 loss to the Houston Texans. Facing one of the top pass defenses without two of their best offensive weapons in A.J. Green and Tyler Eifert, the Bengals were still able to muster 268 yards passing. A majority of that went to Brandon LaFell who caught six passes for 130 yards and a touchdown.

Fantasy Impact

Boyd was targeted only four times by Dalton despite playing 73 percent of the snaps compared to Cody Core who was targeted 14 times yet played only 62 percent of the snaps. Even with the increased volume of snaps, the rookie second round pick out of Pittsburgh has yet to make a fantasy impact.
