Tyler Boyd Week 10 Outlook -

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Wed, Nov 11th 2020, 10:43am EST

Through eight games, Boyd is on track for 108 receptions, 1,168 yards, and six touchdowns. Keep in mind that those are his numbers while Joe Burrow figures things out in his first NFL season. It's not just Burrow, either, as Boyd has totaled 215 targets over the first 24 games in Zac Taylor's system. He's the chain mover and the most reliant. He's also the preferred option in the red zone, as he's seen 11 targets in the red zone, while Higgins has seen six, and Green three. The Steelers have Mike Hilton defending the slot, a cornerback who can be beat. Randall Cobb, CeeDee Lamb, Willie Snead, Greg Ward, and Jerry Jeudy were all slot-heavy receivers who were able to post double-digit PPR points against them despite none of them seeing more than seven targets. Hilton actually had to miss last week, which led to safety Cameron Sutton coming down to defend the slot, and he allowed 3-of-5 passing for 66 yards. They're saying Hilton "has a chance" to play this week, which means he may not even be 100 percent. The last time Boyd played against this Steelers defense was Week 12 of last year when he caught 5-of-9 targets for 101 yards and a touchdown. There are just 12 receivers who've seen at least eight targets in 62.5 percent of their games and Boyd is one of them. Keep him out there as a low-end WR2 this week.
