Tyler Boyd Nosedives Against Ravens

Tyler Boyd Nosedives Against Ravens

12 months ago

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd matched teammate Ja'Marr Chase for the team lead in first-half targets with five, pulling in three of them for 22 yards during Thursday's 34-20 defeat to the Baltimore Ravens. Those were decent figures to get things started without Tee Higgins (hamstring) in the lineup, but that's where Boyd's Week 11 production came to an end. Boyd would draw one more look thereafter, with second-string quarterback Jake Browning taking over for the sidelined Joe Burrow (wrist) after the starter left during the second quarter. It was a very disappointing outcome for fantasy managers who streamed Boyd on Thursday, after he brought in season-high figures in catches (eight), targets (12), and yards (117) in Week 10 sans Higgins. The 29-year-old slot man may exit the clear-cut WR3 conversation if Higgins returns with Browning in the saddle versus the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 12 despite an easier draw.
