Miles Boykin Week 1 Outlook - Steelers at Giants

The fact that the Ravens brought in Dez Bryant for a workout might tell us that they believe Boykin has a ways to go before being a sturdy contributor, though it helps that they didn't sign Bryant. Boykin figures to be on the field in 2WR sets opposite Marquise Brown, but knowing they targeted wide receivers just 10.8 times per game last year, it's tough to say there'll be one consistent wide receiver, let alone two of them. Boykin did do a good job with the limited opportunity he got in 2019, hauling in 198 yards and three touchdowns on just 22 targets. But again, once you think you want to trust him, don't forget they gave Seth Roberts and Willie Snead more targets than him in 2019. The Browns themselves weren't a matchup you needed to attack with wide receivers last year either, as they allowed the ninth-fewest points to the position. Boykin did have the best game of his 2019 season against them (3/32/1), though that's not saying much. As the No. 3 option (at best) in a low-volume passing attack, take the wait-and-see approach with Boykin.
