CIN WR Tyler Boyd - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Pittsburgh
It's basically a three-headed monster at wide receiver for Cincinnati. Tyler Boyd had a slow start in Week 1 but was targeted 9 times in Week 2. He ended up with seven receptions for 73 yards. The one place he has been behind is touchdowns. Both Tee Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase each have two scores while Boyd has not reached the end zone yet. But any week, any one of the receivers could put in the best performance. Boyd had the highs in receptions and receiving yardage in Week 2.

Boyd will play his hometown team in Week 3. He has had an impact performance against the Steelers here and there, but for the most part, Pittsburgh has held him in check.

History and the other two receivers dictate to sit Boyd this Sunday. Higgins and Chase have been more valuable so far but Boyd still is good depth on your roster, just not a starter for Week 3.

CIN WR Tyler Boyd - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Chicago
Tyler Boyd was the least productive of the three Bengals wide receivers in Week 1 with four targets that produced three receptions for 32 yards. Although this could be the trend for Cincy, we aren't quite buying it yet. Boyd is the veteran of this receiving corp and still can make plays. So, don't count on him not putting up No. 1 receiver-type numbers throughout the season.

The matchup is tough for Week 2 as Boyd faces the Bears. For now, we like Tee Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase better so keep Boyd on the bench Sunday. He is just on the outside of being a WR3.

CIN WR Tyler Boyd - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Minnesota
Tyler Boyd is the veteran now of the Bengals wide receiver unit. All three receivers could be the No. 1 or the No. 3. It's a very balanced group which will make it tough to figure out who is due for a big game.

Boyd will be good in PPR leagues and he has a good matchup in Week 1 versus Minnesota who was 24th in aFPA to wide receivers. There is a good chance Boyd will lead the Bengals in receptions but the other two receivers are more likely to pile up more yardage.

Start Boyd on Sunday as WR3 or flex. He should get at least five receptions, but with low yards per catch.

CIN WR Tyler Boyd - 2021 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Tyler Boyd put up back-to-back 1,000 receiving yard seasons in 2018 and 2019. He actually was seventh in the NFL in targets in 2019. Boyd will serve as the veteran of the Bengals receiving corps with A.J. Green out of Cincinnati. He has been especially effective in PPR leagues and will continue to get targets from second-year quarterback Joe Burrow. Cincy will rely heavily on the passing game as they did before Burrow got hurt.

Fantasy Downside
Boyd's 2020 receiving yardage took a step back with almost 200 fewer yards than 2019. Add in the fact that Cincinnati brought in Ja'Marr Chase with the fifth pick overall in the draft pushes Boyd to the No. 3 receiver in the passing game pecking order. Cincinnati is also counting on Burrow to bounce back from his ACL injury which is not guaranteed.

Bottom Line
Boyd is still in his prime and we still think he will put up numbers that will help fantasy teams. However, the younger receivers will be slightly higher in the rankings. Boyd will play the fantasy role of a WR3. But with that said, his ADP which has him going in the eighth or ninth round might make him a slight bargain if you can get him at the spot. 90 receptions and over 900 receiving yards should be where Boyd ends up in 2021.

CIN WR Tyler Boyd - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Pittsburgh
Tyler Boyd has been relatively quiet since QB Joe Burrow went down. Against Dallas, he was held to five receptions for 43 yards. There is no doubt his stock has fallen because of the Bengals' offensive situation.

Boyd faces the Steelers who are ranked 20th in aFPA to wide receivers. In the earlier meeting this season, the Pittsburgh native had six catches for 41 yards.

Even with a favorable matchup against a short-handed Steelers defense, the quarterback woes are just too much. Keep Boyd on the bench in all leagues and formats for Monday night.

CIN WR Tyler Boyd - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Dallas
Tyler Boyd was limited last week to one reception. The good news was it was for 72 yards and a touchdown. After that, Boyd sat on the bench after being ejected for an altercation where three players were done for the day. Boyd got the big play which actually helped most standard league teams, although PPR owners suffered a little bit.

Boyd has a great matchup for Week 14 against Dallas who is ranked 32nd in aFPA to wide receivers. The bigger issue is at quarterback which has been unstable since QB Joe Burrow was lost for the season.

With the favorable matchup, Boyd does have some value in all leagues and formats, but expect only a WR3 or flex level. The QB situation will be an issue for the rest of the season.

CIN WR Tyler Boyd - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at Miami
Tyler Boyd had three receptions for 15 yards last week, a reflection of QB Joe Burrow being out for the season. The Bengals skill players have all been downgraded for the rest of the season. Boyd is still talented enough to have some value but not like he did with Burrow.

Boyd will face a tough Miami defense that is ranked 9th in aFPA to wide receivers. It's going to be a battle even for the veterans to have a major impact on fantasy teams.

Start Boyd in PPR leagues but only as a low-end WR3 or Flex. Do not start him in standard leagues. Don't rely on him as you have in the past. The quarterback situation against a tough defense is going to limit Boyd.
