Tyler Boyd

It's like everyone forgot how good A.J. Green is/was and now he's dropping down draft boards while Boyd is skyrocketing up them. It's not to say Boyd will return to the waiver wire fodder he was his first two seasons in the league where he scored 15 PPR points just twice in 26 games, but he's not going to return to the player who saw seven or more targets in 9-of-14 games with Green back in the lineup. Do we really believe Andy Dalton can support two consistent top-24 receivers? That's what you're banking on with Boyd, because we know Green will be there if healthy. The only time Dalton has produced two top-30 receivers was in 2014, when Green missed three games, allowing Mohamed Sanu to finish as the WR29. It's not to say it's not possible Boyd takes a leap in the new offense, but he's being drafted at/near his ceiling without a Green injury.

Tyler Boyd placed on IR

Tyler Boyd has been placed on IR and will be out Week 17.

Fantasy Impact

Boyd has missed the last few weeks with a knee injury, and he'll remain out through the rest of the season. Boyd came on strong this year as the team's No. 2 WR, and he'll enter 2019 as a potential WR2 for fantasy purposes assuming A.J. Green returns healthy.
