Tyler Boyd Week 16 Outlook -

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Mon, Dec 16th 2019, 2:48pm EST

This season for Boyd can best be described as "hit-or-miss" now that he's finished as a top-20 receiver four times, while finishing as the WR59 or worse four times. The good news is that this should be one of those top-20 performances when they visit the Dolphins this weekend. Boyd has seen at least six targets in every one of Dalton's starts, including double-digit targets in six of them. There have been nine wide receivers who've seen at least eight targets against the Dolphins, and every single one of them has totaled 15.6 or more PPR points. They've had to shift cornerbacks all over the place this year, as they've lost Xavien Howard, Bobby McCain, Cordrea Tankersley, and Ken Webster to injured reserve. That's not even counting the loss of safety Reshad Jones and the trading of Minkah Fitzpatrick. They've fielded 12 different cornerbacks in 2019, the most in the NFL. Jomal Wiltz is the one Boyd will see most of - a former undrafted free agent in 2017 that hadn't played until this year. He's allowed a 65 percent catch-rate and four touchdowns on 57 targets in coverage. Boyd should be in lineups as a low-end WR2 this week.
