Tyler Boyd

For the past couple of seasons, Tyler Boyd has been the definition of consistency. In 2018, he finished as the WR17, meanwhile he was the WR23 in 2019. Additionally, through the first 10 weeks of the 2020 season - when Burrow was healthy - Boyd was the WR18 in all of fantasy football. Once Burrow left the lineup though, Boyd's production fell off a cliff and he was the WR66 from Weeks 11-17. There are certainly reasons to be optimistic that Boyd can get back to performing at a top-tier level, but it all comes down to the difference between AJ Green last season and Ja'Marr Chase entering the lineup. Boyd was performing well because of Green's inefficiencies and inability to make the most out of his targets. Chase should see as much - if not more - work than Green did and he has the ability to capitalize on his opportunity. At that point, once you factor in Tee Higgins too, there's not much left over for Boyd to perform as a top-20 receiver like he was last season. He'll still be very fantasy relevant, but he should play third fiddle to Chase and Higgins in this offense. My Very Early Projection: 81-838-4.

Tyler Boyd makes one catch

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd caught one pass for a one-yard gain in a 38-3 loss to the Ravens in Week 17. He added an 11-yard rush.

Fantasy Impact

Boyd missed the previous week with a concussion. The veteran slot man finishes the year with 79 receptions for 841 yards and four TDs. He should have a big year in 2021 if Joe Burrow is able to return to form after his knee injury.
