Bengals WR Tyler Boyd leaves with Week 15 with concussion

Dec 22, 2020

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd was ruled out of Monday night's 27-17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers with a concussion.

Related players: Mike Thomas, Alex Erickson

Fantasy Impact:

Boyd was injured in the first quarter following an incomplete pass. He leaped to attempt to grab a deep ball from Bengals quarterback Ryan Finley but was unable to traverse two Steelers defenders. When he landed he clearly slammed the back of his head to the turf. If Boyd can't clear protocol, Higgins and Green will ride as the top-two WRs for Week 16. Thomas and Erickson are up next on our depth chart but the Bengals passing game is limited these days.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
