Scouting report

CIN WR Tyler Boyd - Week 15, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs Pittsburgh
As of right now, A.J. Green is not expected to play, but it could be a game time decision. If he doesn't, Tyler Boyd has some value in PPR leagues. But he really should sit in all formats, especially against Pittsburgh, who is third in aFPA to wide receivers.

CIN WR Tyler Boyd - Week 14, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Cleveland
With a void at wide receiver because of A.J. Green's injury, Tyler Boyd could be the answer, but not so far. His numbers have been solid the past two games (15 targets, 9 catches for 128 yards), but it seems Brandon LaFell has stepped up in his role and seems to be the better choice at this point.

Boyd does have some value, but not enough to warrant a start this week against Cleveland, especially with weather condition supposed to be poor. Keep him on the bench.

CIN WR Tyler Boyd - Week 13, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs Philadelphia
With A.J. Green still out, Tyler Boyd has a great opportunity again in Week 13. The question is if he can he make it a big week. He was solid in Week 12, catching five passes for 62 yards on nine targets. But in order to move up the rankings, we need to see more.

Boyd will face the Eagles who are 17th in aFPA to wide receivers. It's still a shaky proposition to expect more from Boyd because we just haven't seen it from the rookie yet this season. At this point, Boyd should still be on the bench unless you are in a PPR league where you could sneak him in as a flex or WR3.

CIN WR Tyler Boyd - Week 12, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Baltimore
With A.J. Green most likely out with a bad hamstring, Tyler Boyd will get his shot in the spotlight as the best Bengals wide receiver on the field. It's hard to predict what Boyd will do because he has never been in this role during his rookie year, but the potential is there

Boyd has a great matchup as the Ravens are ranked 30th in aFPA to wide receivers. Still, the Bengals offense overall will struggle with Green and Giovani Bernard out. Boyd rates a low-end WR3 or flex for Week 12.

CIN WR Tyler Boyd - 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Tyler Boyd was a standout at the University of Pittsburgh where he caught 254 passes in three seasons with the Panthers. The second round pick is very good at being a fundamental receiver because he doesn't have blazing speed or size. But he runs very good routes, and more important, will go get the football wherever it is. Boyd will line up in the slot where is a better fit and he should be on the field on a regular basis.

Fantasy Downside
Rookie wide receivers occasionally make a splash entrance in the NFL, but for the most part, it takes a couple of seasons to get acclimated to the league. Boyd could have a long career, but he is going to be given an opportunity to show what he can do now. Problem is if he can't handle it, snaps could diminish.

2016 Bottom Line
Boyd is probably a guy you should get as your fourth receiver on the roster. In general, I don't trust rookie wide receivers. ADP has him being take somewhere around 15th to 18th round, but I think because he is the second best receiver on this team, he can give you some starts and taking him mid-draft is not a bad move.
