  • Out for Week 18

    Boyd (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Signed to a one-year, $2.4 million deal back in May, Boyd's 2024 season in Tennessee will be one to forget. Across 16 games, he registered a 39-390-0 line on 57 targets as the Titans' slot receiver. His per-game averages of 2.4 catches for 24.4 yards were his lowest since 2017, Boyd's second season in the NFL. It also marked his first season without a touchdown. Boyd is scheduled to head back to the free-agent market in March at 30 years old.

  • Misses another practice

    Boyd (foot) was a non-participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Boyd has played in each of the Titans' first 16 games of the season, but he could be at risk of missing Sunday's finale against the Texans after kicking off Week 18 prep with a pair of absences from practice. At the very least, Boyd will likely need to practice in a limited fashion Friday to take a questionable designation into the weekend.

  • Still dealing with foot issue

    Boyd (foot) was estimated as a non-participant in Wednesday's walk-through practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Boyd has been managing a foot injury since early December, but the issue has yet to cost him any game action. In fact, the veteran wideout tied his season-high mark with 51 offensive snaps in this past Sunday's 20-13 loss to Jacksonville. With that in mind, Boyd will likely be available for Sunday's season finale against Houston, unless the injury has worsened.

  • Two catches in Week 17

    Boyd recorded two receptions (on four targets) for 14 yards in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Boyd was on the field for 80 percent of offensive snaps despite failing to practice at any point throughout the week while dealing with a foot injury. Though he was able to play through the issue, Boyd's production remained limited. He now has fewer than 20 yards or fewer in three of his last four contests.

  • Cleared for Week 17

    Boyd (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Boyd didn't practice in any capacity throughout the week while being hampered by a foot injury, yet he'll plan to play through the issue in Week 17. It remains to be seen if his snap count will be limited in any way, though his production has been minimal throughout the season regardless of health. Across 15 games, he's topped 50 receiving yards just once.

  • Questionable after three DNPs

    Boyd (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars despite being listed as a non-participant again in practice Friday, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Boyd failed to practice in any capacity throughout the week, but there's recent precedent of a Titans skill player suiting up after three DNPs, with running back Tony Pollard having done just that against the Colts in Week 16. While there's still hope that Boyd won't endure his first absence of the season Sunday, he's unlikely to deliver significant production if he plays, as Boyd has just 376 receiving yards and no touchdowns in 15 games this season.

  • Misses second straight practice

    Boyd (foot) wasn't spotted on the field for Thursday's practice, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Boyd looks set to go down as a non-participant in practice for the second straight day, setting up Friday's practice as an important one in determining his odds of playing Sunday in Jacksonville. Even if Boyd is cleared to suit up against the Jaguars, he won't make for an especially appealing fantasy option. While playing in all 15 of the Titans' games thus far, Boyd has yet to find the end zone and has recorded 37 catches for 376 yards.

  • Sits out practice Wednesday

    Boyd (foot) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Boyd had been listed on Titans injury reports each of the past three weeks, but he hasn't missed a game during that stretch while recording five catches for 66 yards on 10 targets. Absences to begin the practice week have been the norm for Boyd of late, so as long as he's able to upgrade to full participation by Friday, he should avoid taking a designation in Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

  • Only 20 yards

    Boyd recorded two receptions (on three targets) for 20 yards in Sunday's 38-30 loss to the Colts.

    Analysis: Boyd was on the field for around half of the offensive snaps and got off to a hot start by recording both of his receptions on Tennessee's first two possessions. However, he didn't record a catch for the rest of the game and now has been held below 40 receiving yards in four straight games.

  • Cleared to play Sunday

    Boyd (foot) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Colts.

    Analysis: Boyd was listed as DNP on Wednesday and Thursday but returned to a full practice Friday and is good to go for Sunday's divisional matchup. He's topped 50 receiving yards in a game just once all season and has yet to catch a touchdown. He's far from fantasy relevancy on this Titans team.

  • Not practicing

    Boyd (foot) didn't practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of tennesseetitans.com reports.

    Analysis: Boyd played through the same injury the past couple weeks and handled his usual workload as the No. 3 receiver. A return to practice Friday would set him up to play again Sunday against the Colts.

  • Not practicing to begin week

    Boyd (foot) didn't practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Boyd also opened Week 15 prep with an absence due to the same injury before upgrading to full participation Thursday logging 39 receiving yards in a loss to the Bengals this past Sunday. The slot receiver could follow a similar pattern ahead of Sunday's game against the Colts, but Boyd won't be a recommended fantasy option either way, considering he has reached 40 receiving yards only twice all season and hasn't scored a touchdown.

  • One long catch against former team

    Boyd recorded two receptions (on three targets) for 39 yards in Sunday's 37-27 loss to the Bengals.

    Analysis: Boyd got his first chance to face his former team and delivered an impressive 40-yard catch and run on the Titans' second possession to set up a touchdown. However, he failed to make an impact from there, as his only other reception went for minus-1 yard. Boyd has failed to reach 40 receiving yards in all but two games on the campaign.

  • Practices fully Thursday

    Boyd (foot) was a full practice participant Thursday.

    Analysis: Boyd sat out Wednesday's practice with the foot injury, but his full participation a day later suggests he was likely just getting some maintenance to begin Week 15 prep. The 30-year-old slot receiver has handled snap shares north of 50 percent in all but two of the Titans' 13 games to date, but he has little production to show for it (33 catches for 317 yards and no touchdowns on 47 targets).

  • Back at practice Thursday

    Boyd (foot) is participating in the portion of Thursday's practice open to the media, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Boyd didn't practice Wednesday due to a foot injury, but he's resumed handling at least limited activity Thursday. On 47 targets cross 13 appearances this season, Boyd has racked up 33 catches for 317 yards. He has yet to score his first touchdown in a Titans uniform. If he's able to get healthy in time for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Boyd will continue contributing in a depth role on offense, as well as in the return game.

  • Misses Wednesday's practice

    Boyd didn't practice Wednesday due to a foot injury.

    Analysis: Boyd logged a 59 percent snap share in this past Sunday's 10-6 loss to the Jaguars, finishing with one reception for seven yards on four targets. He might have hurt his foot at some point along the way, and with an absence from practice to begin Week 15 prep, he could be at risk of sitting out Sunday against the Bengals. Through 13 games this season, the wideout has produced a 33-317-0 receiving line on 47 targets.

    Boyd (foot) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Boyd avoided an injury designation by practicing fully Friday. The slot receiver has had a disappointing season, but he's trending up ahead of this favorable Week 14 matchup, having recorded at least 34 receiving yards in three consecutive games after falling short of that mark in eight of his first nine games with the Titans.

    Boyd (foot) didn't practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Boyd took a step back in terms of activity from Wednesday, when he opened the week as a limited participant in practice. The veteran wideout will have one more chance to get back on the practice field before the Titans decide whether he carries a designation into Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Boyd has held down a regular spot in three-receiver sets for the Titans all season, but the steady role hasn't translated to meaningful fantasy production.

  • Dealing with foot injury

    Boyd was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a foot injury, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: The injury is a new concern for Boyd, who was bothered by his shoulder and back in November but didn't miss any games. His role as the No. 3 receiver in a poor offense hasn't been fruitful for fantasy purposes, as he's averaging just 25.8 receiving yards per game on the season. He also has yet to score a touchdown over his 12 appearances.

He continues to have consistent involvement in the Tennessee offense with at least three targets in all but three games on the campaign.

  • Best game as Titan

    Boyd recorded six receptions on six targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 32-27 win over the Texans.

    Analysis: Boyd has had a disappointing season in Tennessee, but he turned in his most productive game with the team in Sunday's upset win. He opened the game with a 19-yard catch and also tacked on receptions of 13 and 11 yards to top 50 yards for the first time in the campaign. Though it was a positive showing, Boyd has little upside moving forward barring a significant change in his usage.

    Boyd recorded two catches (on three targets) for 34 yards in Sunday's 23-13 loss to the Vikings.

    Analysis: Boyd was on the field for 58 percent of offensive snaps and ended a two-game stretch without a target. Both of his catches and all three of his targets came on a drive late in the fourth quarter, highlighted by a 30-yard gain. Boyd has reached 40 receiving yards in a game only once on the campaign.

    Boyd (back) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

    Analysis: Boyd was added to the injury report Saturday due to the back issue, but the injury won't prevent him from suiting up for Week 11. The 30-year-old wasn't targeted over the previous two games while playing through a shoulder injury, but he's now past that issue and is expected to be more involved in the offense, per Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site. Even if that's the case, Boyd has limited fantasy upside, as he caught just 21 passes for 184 yards and no touchdowns in the first seven games…read more

  • Optimism regarding Sunday's status

    The Titans are reportedly optimistic about Boyd (back) playing Sunday against the Vikings, per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com.

    Analysis: Boyd was added to the Titans' Week 11 injury report Saturday due to a back issue, but it appears as though the wideout will be available versus Minnesota. Either way, official confirmation of Boyd's status is slated arrive once the Titans' inactives are posted ahead of Sunday's 1:00 ET kickoff. Overall, Boyd has compiled a 21/184/0 receiving line on 30 targets in nine games, but he's coming off back-to-back zero-catch outings.

    Boyd was added to the injury report Saturday with a back injury and is now questionable for Sunday's contest against the Vikings, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: The veteran has failed to record a reception in either of the past two games despite playing a total of 52 offensive snaps during that frame. It remains to be seen what his status will be for Sunday, but if Boyd misses time then Jha'Quan Jackson and Bryce Oliver likely could see additional snaps.

    Boyd is expected to be more involved in the offense moving forward now that he's over his previous shoulder injury, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Titans OC Nick Holz said Boyd had been limited by the shoulder issue, but he's now as healthy as he's been in recent weeks, Wyatt adds. Boyd hasn't recorded a catch on 55 offensive snaps over the last two games, and he's topped 40 yards in a contest just once all year. In a Titans offense that prefers to run the ball and is quarterbacked by Will Levis, Boyd still is not a recommended fantasy play.

  • No targets in loss

    Boyd was not targeted in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: Boyd was seemingly limited by a shoulder injury Week 9, which explained his low snap rate and lack of targets. However, he was back on the field for 61 percent of offensive snaps in Sunday's loss, meaning his lack of involvement suggests he isn't a big part of Tennessee's game plan. Given that the Titans won't be contending for a playoff spot down the stretch, the team could continue to give younger players more opportunity across the second half of the season.

  • Cleared for Week 10

    Boyd (shoulder) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chargers after practicing fully Friday.

    Analysis: Boyd was limited at practice Wednesday and Thursday, but the wideout's return to a full session Friday sets the stage for him to be available versus Los Angeles. Through eight contests to date, Boyd has compiled a 21-184-0 line on 30 targets, a pace that limits his fantasy lineup utility to deeper formats.

    Analysis: Boyd was cleared to play against New England last week due to the injury, but he played a season-low 29 percent of the offensive snaps and didn't see a single target in the pass game. He has just 21 catches for 184 scoreless yards on 30 targets through eight games this season and isn't a recommended fantasy play.

    Boyd (shoulder) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Boyd's shoulder injury may have played a role in his limited involvement against the Patriots in Week 9, as he played a season-low 21 snaps on offense and wasn't targeted. If he's healthy enough to play this Sunday against the Chargers, Boyd won't make for a reliable option in fantasy lineups after having contributed only 184 receiving yards without a touchdown through eight games.

    Boyd was not targeted in Sunday's 20-17 overtime win against the Patriots. He recorded one rush for three yards.

    Analysis: Boyd was on the field for a season-low 21 offensive snaps, a 29 percent rate. As a result, he failed to record a catch for the first time this season. Boyd's usage has been a disappointment since the departure of DeAndre Hopkins, and he seems to be falling further out of favor in Tennessee.

    Analysis: Boyd failed to practice throughout the week, but like teammate Tony Pollard (foot), he will nevertheless be active. Boyd has seen 11 targets combined across his last two games while playing around 60 percent of snaps. Despite the decent workload, Boyd recorded only 57 total yards in those two contests.

    Boyd (shoulder), who is questionable for Sunday's contest against New England, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Boyd didn't practice at all this week due to a shoulder issue, but he was nonetheless given a chance to play with a questionable tag heading into the weekend. It appears the veteran wideout will indeed be able to suit up Sunday, which should be a boost to Tennessee's air attack. Boyd has put up modest numbers this season but has at least two catches in every game thus far and logged a season-high six targets last Sunday versus Detroit.

    Analysis: Boyd is one of four Titans listed as questionable after not practicing at all this week.

    Analysis: While Boyd maintained his practice level from Wednesday, fellow wideout Calvin Ridley (shoulder) returned to a full practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Boyd finished second on the team with six targets, though he didn't take advantage. He should continue to operate as a key member of Tennessee's wide receiver corps with DeAndre Hopkins now in Kansas City, though that's not likely to lead to much production given the state of the team's offense.

    Analysis: Boyd continued in his typical role as the primary slot receiver in Tennessee's offense and has seen at least three targets in all but one game this season while recording two or three catches in every contest. Though he has a stable role, he hasn't topped 33 yards in any game, in part due to the stagnant Titans scheme.

    Analysis: Boyd has had a steady role in the Tennessee offense through three games, tallying at least four targets while playing 70-plus percent of snaps in each contest. That's still led to relatively little production, as Sunday's performance was his highest yardage total of the campaign.

    Analysis: Boyd was on the field for the second-most snaps among the Titans' receiving corps as DeAndre Hopkins continues to ramp up from a knee injury. Boyd's time on the field hasn't translated to production, however, as he has just five catches for 44 yards combined across his first two games with Tennessee.

  • Three catches in Titans debut

    Boyd recorded three receptions (on five targets) for 18 yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Bears.

    Analysis: Boyd was on the field for 83 percent of snaps, the second-highest on the team as DeAndre Hopkins was limited by a long-term knee injury. Despite finishing second on the team in targets, Boyd had limited production due to working primarily in the short areas of the field. He should maintain a significant role in the Tennessee offense, though it's unclear how effective Will Levis will be distributing the ball.

  • Makes first connection with Levis

    Boyd caught his only target for 22 yards in Sunday's 30-27 preseason win over the Saints.

    Analysis: Boyd and the first-team offense played two drives, and the veteran slot receiver got the chance to record his first catch on a Will Levis pass in a game situation. Both Boyd and fellow offseason addition Calvin Ridley are expected to play key roles in Tennessee's passing game, and Boyd could see some extra attention from Levis in the Sept. 8 regular-season opener against the Bears if wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (knee) is unavailable or limited.

    Boyd did not play in Saturday's 16-15 preseason win over the Seahawks.

    Analysis: The Titans have opted to play their starters sparingly this preseason, as Will Levis has attempted only five passes. Boyd has yet to find the stat sheet as a result, but he should have a significant role in the offense, particularly so long as DeAndre Hopkins (knee) is sidelined.

    Boyd and the Titans agreed to terms Tuesday on a one-year contract worth up to $4.5 million, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Boyd becomes the newest member of a revamped Tennessee wide receiver corps that added Calvin Ridley atop the depth chart in free agency, joining DeAndre Hopkins and Treylon Burks. Ridley and Hopkins figure to operate as Will Levis' clear top targets, as both exceeded 1,000 receiving yards last season.

  • Interested in joining hometown team

    Boyd and the Steelers have mutual interest, though no signing is imminent for the veteran free-agent receiver, Mark Kaboly of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Boyd is from Western Pennsylvania and went to college at Pittsburgh, so it comes as little surprise that he has interest in joining one of the Bengals' division rivals. He spent the first eight years of his career in Cincinnati, where he topped 1,000 yards in 2018 and again in 2019 before taking a back seat in the Bengals offense to Tee Higgins and then Ja'Marr Chase. The 29-year-old has mostly worked out of the slot, especially in recent years, but he could also get perimeter snaps in a…read more

  • Hitting free agency after down year

    Boyd caught one of two targets for four yards in Sunday's 31-14 win over the Browns. He finishes the season 67 catches for 667 yards and two touchdowns on 98 targets.

    Analysis: Boyd didn't miss a game but finished with his lowest yardage and touchdown totals since 2017. The veteran slot receiver will be a free agent this offseason after spending his first eight NFL seasons in Cincinnati.

  • Targeted twice in loss

    Boyd recorded two receptions on two targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 25-17 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Tee Higgins was forced to miss a significant portion of Sunday's game due to a hamstring injury, but that didn't result in additional volume for Boyd. His two targets marked his fewest on the campaign, and he's now been held to under 30 yards in four of his last seven contests.

  • Five catches in Week 16 loss

    Boyd caught five of seven targets for 59 yards in Saturday's 34-11 loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: Boyd produced Cincinnati's longest play of the first half with a 29-yard catch, but the Bengals took a 24-0 deficit into the locker room. He finished one target shy of the team lead shared by Tee Higgins and Andrei Iosivas in Ja'Marr Chase's (shoulder) absence. Heading into a Week 17 trip to Kansas City, Boyd has caught 64 of 94 targets for 634 yards and two touchdowns. The slot receiver needs 128 yards and two touchdowns over the next two games just to tie his lowest single-season total in…read more

  • Plays hero in overtime

    Boyd caught two passes for 53 yards on five targets in the 27-24 overtime win against the Vikings on Saturday.

    Analysis: Boyd was mostly a non-factor -- indeed, he went into overtime with one catch for nine yards on four targets -- but he arguably made up for that with his 44-yard reception in overtime. Boyd's big play put the Bengals in range for the game-winning field goal -- a timely contribution given that Ja'Marr Chase (shoulder) left the game in the second half. If Chase were to miss any time with the injury, Boyd would likely see an increased target share as a result. The Bengals go to Pittsburgh for Week…read more

    Boyd (foot/ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation into Saturday's game against the Vikings after turning in a full practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Boyd and Ja'Marr Chase (ankle) were both limited participants in Wednesday's practice session, but the two wideouts have received the green light to play this weekend after closing the week with a full practice session. For the fourth game in a row, Boyd will be working with Jake Browning as his quarterback following the season-ending wrist injury to Joe Burrow. Over Browning's first three starts, Boyd has cobbled together a 10-83-0 receiving line on 15 targets and has carried once for five…read more

Fellow wideout Ja'Marr Chase (ankle) was also listed as limited Wednesday, but he told Ben Baby of ESPN.com prior to the session that he feels 100 percent healthy and expects to play this weekend.

The wideout was listed as questionable leading up to this past Sunday's game against the Colts due to an ankle issue, but he suited up and finished with two catches for 23 yards on three targets while playing 31 of the Bengals' 60 snaps on offense in the 34-14 win.

  • Two catches in Week 14 win

    Boyd (ankle) brought in two of three targets for 23 yards in the Bengals' 34-14 win over the Colts on Sunday.

    Analysis: Boyd had a questionable tag coming in after apparently sustaining an ankle injury late in the practice week, but the veteran was able to fill his usual slot role. However, Boyd continues to offer only middling fantasy production as long as top receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins are healthy, as he's now recorded 37 yards or fewer in four straight games going into a Week 15 home matchup against the Vikings on Saturday afternoon.

    Boyd (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts after logging a limited practice Friday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: While Boyd was deemed questionable for the contest, head coach Zac Taylor relayed Friday that he feels good about the wideout's chances of suiting up this weekend, according to Ben Baby of ESPN.com. Fortunately for those considering Boyd in Week 14 fantasy lineups, the Bengals kick off at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday. Assuming he's available versus Indianapolis, Boyd will be in line to maintain a key role in his team's passing offense alongside fellow wideouts Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.

    Boyd (ankle) had a lot of reps at practice Friday, and Bengals head coach Zac Taylor expects the wide receiver to play Sunday against the Colts, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Boyd was added to the injury report after a limited practice Thursday, but it's possible the slot receiver could avoid a Week 14 designation if he logs a full practice Friday. Even if Boyd carries a designation into Sunday's game, Friday's activity coupled with the coach's optimism suggest that the receiver is likely to suit up against Indianapolis, barring a setback.

    Boyd (ankle) was limited at practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Boyd practiced fully Wednesday, so it's possible that he sustained his ankle injury during Thursday's session. Either way, the wideout's addition to the Bengals' injury report makes his status worth tracking ahead of Sunday's game against the Colts. In this past Monday's 34-31 overtime win over the Jaguars, Boyd caught five of his seven targets for 37 yards and rushed once for five yards.

  • Five catches in Week 13 win

    Boyd secured five of seven targets for 37 yards in the Bengals' 34-31 overtime win over the Jaguars on Monday night. He also rushed once for five yards.

    Analysis: Boyd finished third in receptions and receiving yards on the night, playing his trademark short-area role while returning to his customary No. 3 receiver duties thanks to Tee Higgins' availability after a three-game absence. Boyd's catch total was his second highest since Week 6, but he'll remain in a relatively low-upside role during a Week 14 home battle against the Colts.

  • Quiet against Pittsburgh

    Boyd recorded three receptions on five targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: The Bengals' offense struggled to get things going without Joe Burrow (wrist), and Boyd was no exception. He averaged only 7.7 yards per catch, and his longest gain of the day went for only 10 yards. With Jake Browning under center for the rest of the season, it's likely that Boyd will continue to struggle to rack up yardage, even if his targets remain relatively consistent.

Outside of Boyd's stellar output in that contest, he's had a quiet season, and he's now recorded a modest three receptions in three of the past four games.

    Analysis: With Tee Higgins (hamstring) sidelined and Ja'Marr Chase believed to be at less than 100 percent due to his back injury, Boyd unsurprisingly drew a team-high number of targets and parlayed them into the team lead in receptions. Both figures, as well as the yardage tally, were season highs for the veteran wideout, who could be tasked with a larger role again in a Week 11 road divisional clash against the Ravens on Thursday night.

The 56 yards also represents a new single-game high for the 29-year-old through eight games this season.

    Boyd brought in all three targets for 40 yards and a touchdown and rushed once for 16 yards in the Bengals' 31-17 win over the 49ers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Boyd finished third in receiving yards on the afternoon behind position mates Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, and he also recorded his second touchdown of the campaign on a seven-yard grab in the first quarter. Boyd remains a clear complementary option as long as his two aforementioned teammates are healthy in front of him, but it's worth noting he'd logged at least seven targets in five consecutive contests prior to seeing that streak snapped Sunday.

  • Limited yardage in win

    Boyd recorded seven receptions on seven targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-13 win over Seattle.

    Analysis: Boyd has seen at least seven targets in each of his five games, and that continued Sunday even with Tee Higgins (ribs) back in the mix. He managed his first touchdown of the season on an eight-yard catch late in the first quarter, though he has still managed to surpass 50 receiving yards only once this season. With Boyd's role primarily being limited to short areas of the field, his fantasy value is limited even when considering his consistent volume.

    Analysis: Even with Tee Higgins (ribs) inactive and Joe Burrow finally looking healthy and back in form, Boyd didn't see a significant boost in his target volume, but he did tie his season high in receptions. The veteran slot receiver is still looking for his first TD of 2023, but he's caught at least four in five straight seasons, so his opportunities should come soon enough. Boyd will remain a steady PPR asset heading into a Week 6 clash with the Seahawks.

He's yet to top 55 receiving yards in any game this season despite seeing at least seven targets on three occasions. That leaves him in an interesting position in the upcoming weeks, as Tee Higgins (ribs) could be set to miss at least the Bengals' Week 5 matchup against the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Boyd turned in another solid PPR effort after grabbing six receptions against the Ravens in Week 2. The veteran slot receiver finished a distant second in receiving for the Bengals behind Ja'Marr Chase's 12-catch, 141-yard performance.

    Boyd is aiming for 1,000 yards this season, though he also said teammates Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins are better than ever, Charlie Godsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: One of the issues for Boyd is that the Bengals have moved Chase and Higgins into the slot more and more often as they and QB Joe Burrow (calf) have increasingly mastered coach Zac Taylor's offense over the years. The grey cloud hanging over Cincinnati is Burrow's preseason injury, potentially leaving things in the hands of Trevor Siemian or Jake Browning for Week 1 at Cleveland.

  • Shows up for voluntary practice

    Boyd participated in Tuesday's voluntary practice, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: Boyd is healthy this spring after exiting the AFC Championship Game early with a deep thigh bruise. He won't be at every voluntary practice, but that's only because he's a ninth-year pro entering his fifth season in the same system and fourth with Joe Burrow. The continuity in Cincinnati helps the Bengals offense overall and puts Boyd in a lot of favorable situations and matchups, but it also means he's third in line for targets again behind fellow wideouts Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.

    Analysis: That catch came on the team's opening drive and was a big play to help get the Bengals offense going, but more was expected from Boyd, given the attrition in the Bills secondary and that he scored in the Week 17 truncated game. The Bengals face the Chiefs next in the AFC Championship Game this coming Sunday, and Boyd has had exactly four catches in each of the three games the Bengals have played against them the last two years.

    Analysis: Boyd continued to operate as the Bengals' No. 3 wideout Sunday, playing 48 of Cincinnati's 66 offensive snaps. So long as Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins are healthy, Boyd will remain a secondary target, but his ceiling is higher than most No. 3 receivers around the league as a member of Cincinnati's high-volume passing attack.

  • Disappointing game

    Boyd had just two catches for 16 yards on four targets in Sunday's win over the Titans.

    Analysis: Boyd struggled to gain separation on his targets, and he slipped on his cut on one of the passes he didn't corral. Meanwhile, the Bengals found a good matchup on the opposite side of the field for Tee Higgins most of the time, and Trenton Irwin on one key first down. With Ja'Marr Chase (hip) out, we expected more from Boyd and didn't get it the last two weeks. Now, Chase should return next week against the Chiefs.

  • Quiet in win over Steelers

    Boyd was held to two catches for 42 yards on seven targets in Sunday's win over the Steelers.

    Analysis: Boyd lined up frequently on the outside instead of in the slot, and that might have hurt his output. He did have two pretty big catches in the second half as the Bengals were trying to extend a narrow lead. We'll see if Ja'Marr Chase (hip) can return this week against Tennessee, and, if so, how that impacts Boyd's targets.

  • Manages only 44 yards

    Boyd recorded five receptions on six targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 42-21 win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: As expected, Boyd served as the second receiver for the Bengals due to the ongoing absence of Ja'Marr Chase (hip). While his overall volume was limited due to Joe Mixon's five-touchdown performance and the blowout nature of the game, Boyd narrowly missed out on a bigger day when he was ruled down at the half-yard line on a reception early in the second quarter. Boyd has recorded only eight receptions for 82 yards in the two games since Chase has been out.

  • Reaches end zone in Week 8 loss

    Boyd caught three of five targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 32-13 loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: Boyd scored his fourth touchdown of the season, and second in as many weeks, from 13 yards out to finally get the Bengals on the board in the fourth quarter. With Ja'Marr Chase (hip) absent, Boyd's floor is raised for the next few weeks, including in Cincinnati's Week 9 home game against the Panthers. The veteran slot receiver has caught multiple passes in every game this season and in 15 straight appearances dating back to last year's Week 9 loss to the Browns.

  • Could move around more sans Chase

    Boyd is expected to line up at multiple spots in the Bengals' offensive formation in the games to come with top receiver Ja'Marr Chase (hip) likely to be sidelined for 4-to-6 weeks, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: In addition to absorbing some of Chase's vacated target volume while likely being featured more regularly in two-receiver sets alongside Tee Higgins, Boyd may notice some more diversity with the type of routes he runs with the Bengals' top wideout expected to miss more than a month. For the season, Boyd has taken 343 of his 396 snaps out of the slot, but the loss of Chase will likely force Boyd to work on the perimeter more frequently. While Chase's absence should bolster Boyd's target counts,…read more

  • Scores, tallies 155 yards

    Boyd recorded eight receptions on nine targets for 155 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-17 win over the Falcons.

    Analysis: Boyd got off to a hot start, as he broke off a 60-yard touchdown reception on Cincinnati's first offensive possession of the game. He remained heavily involved in the offense thereafter and recorded season-high marks in targets, receptions and yards. Despite the strong performance, Boyd will continue to command fewer targets than both Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, and he has surpassed five receptions in a game only twice this season.

  • Goes 6/66 in comeback win

    Boyd corralled all six of his targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 30-26 win over the Saints.

    Analysis: Tee Higgins (ankle) was able to suit up after being listed as a game-time decision, which pushed Boyd back into his usual spot at third on the receiver depth chart. The veteran finished third in targets and second and receiving yardage for Cincinnati. Boyd can certainly produce starter-worthy stat lines -- even as an auxiliary option for Joe Burrow -- but his ceiling feels capped when both of the Bengals' starting wideouts are healthy. That appears the be the scenario for Boyd heading into a…read more

  • Steps in early for injured starter

    Boyd caught three passes (four targets) for 33 yards in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: Boyd also logged a snap as a passer when a broken double-reverse pass attempt from the opponent's goal line was blown up for a 12-yard sack. The veteran's stat line is nothing to write home about, but the key note was Tee Higgins' (ankle) early departure 10 snaps into the contest. The latter entered the game hobbled after injuring the same ankle in Week 4, so Boyd could be in line for extra targets against the Saints next Sunday if Higgins is forced to miss the contest.

    Boyd caught four of five targets for 105 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-12 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Boyd had a would-be four-yard touchdown erased by a holding penalty on the opening drive but more than made up for it by bouncing off a hit and outracing the entire Jets defense to the end zone for a 56-yard touchdown on the final play of the first quarter. The veteran slot receiver has caught 10 of 14 targets for 155 yards and two touchdowns heading into Thursday's Week 4 game against the Dolphins.

    Boyd caught both of his targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Boyd operated as the Bengals' No. 3 wideout, playing on 81 percent of the team's offensive snaps. Unfortunately, the veteran's high snap percentage didn't lead to much in the way of production on a day when the offense struggled to sustain drives and Joe Burrow threw for just 199 yards.

    Analysis: Boyd nearly had a second touchdown in the fourth quarter but was headhunted on the play and couldn't hold on through the hit, which drew a flag. It would have been nice to see Boyd step up more with Tee Higgins (concussion) leaving the game early, but it could have gone worse.

    Boyd said he and his teammates are comfortable in coach Zac Taylor's offense, joking that "we might not even need the huddle at this point," CLNS Media's Mike Petraglia reports.

    Analysis: Coming off a Super Bowl loss, Boyd and RB Joe Mixon enter their fourth year in Taylor's system, while Burrow and WR Tee Higgins are in Year 3 and Ja'Marr Chase in Year 2. The Bengals do have three new starters on the O-line, but it shouldn't be too difficult of an adjustment with each of the three having at least 46 NFL starts to his name.

    Analysis: Boyd delivered his best performance of the postseason in terms of both receptions and yards. As has been the case all season, he worked primarily underneath routes while both Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins pushed further down the field. Boyd's longest catch of the day came early in the fourth quarter and went for a gain of 16 yards, though he also delivered an 11-yard reception in the first half.

    Boyd caught four passes for 26 yards and one touchdown on five targets against Las Vegas on Saturday.

    Analysis: The Raiders defense played reasonably well against the formidable Cincinnati offense, and Boyd mostly ran against the tough coverage of slot corner Nate Hobbs. Boyd had to grind out his yardage as a result, but the touchdown saved the day for his fantasy investors. Boyd might not be as immensely talented as fellow Bengals wideouts Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, but he's still quite good in his own right.

    Analysis: Boyd was one of several key Bengals players who sat out the regular-season finale, as the coaching staff wasn't keen on exposing the 27-year-old to injury in a Week 18 game that didn't have much at stake in terms of playoff positioning. As the No. 3 wideout on a talented offense, Boyd had a solid season in 2021, finishing with 67 catches for 828 yards and five scores.

    Boyd is active for Sunday's game against the Browns, but he wasn't participating in drills during pregame warmups and may only be available as an emergency depth option at receiver, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: Cincinnati is already holding out three key starters on offense in Joe Burrow (knee), Joe Mixon (reserve/COVID-19 list) and Tee Higgins (healthy inactive), and Boyd and top tight end C.J. Uzomah also appear likely to have limited roles Sunday, despite being active.

He caught six of a team-high eight targets for 49 yards prior to his exit, finishing with a mediocre stat line despite being busier than usual in the passing game.

    Analysis: Boyd was overshadowed by fellow wide receivers Tee Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase, who each topped the 50-yard mark with a touchdown. The slot specialist has racked up at least 76 catches and 108 targets in each of the past three seasons, so Boyd should be more involved in Week 2 against the Bears and beyond.

    Analysis: Boyd didn't practice in any capacity before being ruled out for last weekend's win over the Texans, so if he's back to handling even limited reps at practice, it represents a step in the right direction. He'll need full clearance from the five-step concussion protocol in order to suit up Week 17 against the Ravens.

  • Won't play Sunday

    Boyd (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site

    Analysis: With Boyd, who suffered a concussion this past Monday against the Steelers, sidelined, look for Alex Erickson to see added Week 16 snaps behind the team's top healthy wide receivers Tee Higgins and A.J. Green.

  • Misses another practice

    Boyd (concussion) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Boyd, who suffered a concussion in Monday's win over the Steelers, will presumably need to practice in some capacity Friday in order to gain clearance for this Sunday's contest against the Texans. If Boyd is out this weekend, Alex Erickson would be in line for added Week 16 snaps behind Tee Higgins and A.J. Green.

  • No practice Wednesday

    Boyd (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Boyd remains in the NFL's concussion protocol, clouding his status for Sunday's game against the Texans. If Boyd is unable to gain clearance for that contest, Alex Erickson would be in line for added wideout snaps behind Tee Higgins and A.J. Green.

  • Out with concussion

    Boyd (concussion) will not return to Monday's game against the Steelers after suffering a concussion, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Boyd suffered the concussion after attempting to make a leaping grab early in the game. He had not recorded a catch before sustaining the injury. In his absence, look for Alex Erickson and Mike Thomas to see an increase in snaps behind Tee Higgins and A.J. Green.

  • Evaluated for concussion

    Boyd is being evaluated for a concussion and considered questionable to return to Monday's game against the Steelers, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Boyd landed awkwardly after attempting to make a a leaping catch and hit his head on the turf. He subsequently headed to the locker room to be looked at. The 26-year-old didn't record a catch prior to exiting. Alex Erickson and Mike Thomas could potentially see some more snaps behind Tee Higgins and A.J. Green should he ultimately not return.

  • Relatively quiet game

    Boyd had five catches for 43 yards on nine targets in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys.

    Analysis: At least this result was better than two weeks ago against the Giants, but the drop in quality in quarterbacks from Joe Burrow to Brandon Allen or Ryan Finley has been devastating for the Bengals' top wideouts. It's not likely to get much better in Week 15 against the Steelers.

  • Ejected from Sunday's game

    Boyd was ejected from Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.

    Analysis: Late in the second half, Boyd and Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard got into a scuffle, and both players were disqualified. Boyd caught a 72-yard touchdown pass before exiting the game. He's not expected to be suspended for Sunday's actions.

  • Totals 15 yards

    Boyd caught three of six targets for 15 yards during Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Giants.

    Analysis: Boyd led the team in targets but struggled to connect with Brandon Allen as his longest gain went for just nine yards. This was a rather disheartening development for Boyd's fantasy outlook after he piled up nine catches for 85 yards last week, indicating that Allen's lackluster play seems likely to hinder his star wideout moving forward. Of course, the team could opt to go in another direction under center next Sunday against the Dolphins, whose strong defensive unit should cause problems…read more

  • Nine catches as Burrow goes down

    Boyd caught nine of 11 targets for 85 yards in Sunday's 20-9 loss to Washington.

    Analysis: Boyd was limited to one catch for 14 yards after Joe Burrow was carted off with what's expected to be a season-ending knee injury early in the third quarter. The slot receiver only needs 290 more receiving yards to break 1,000 for the third consecutive season, but what had been shaping up as a career-best season alongside Burrow could slow down significantly if backup Ryan Finley's inability to get on the same page with Boyd -- or any of Cincinnati's receivers, for that matter -- continues into…read more

  • Limited by Steelers

    Boyd recorded six receptions on eight targets for 41 yards in Week 10 against the Steelers.

    Analysis: Boyd finished second on the team with eight targets but tallied his lowest yardage total since Week 1. While he converted a high percentage of his opportunities into receptions, he managed only catch of greater than 10 yards. Even with this disappointing performance, Boyd continues to showcase a very high floor as he has at least four receptions in every game this season. He'll draw another tough matchup in Week 11 against a Washington defense that has effectively limited opposing pass-catchers…read more

  • Scores for second straight game

    Boyd caught six of seven targets for 67 yards and a touchdown while adding nine yards on two carries during Sunday's 31-20 win over the Titans.

    Analysis: Boyd tied for second on the team in targets, receptions and receiving yards while catching a short touchdown pass in the fourth quarter. He has now scored in two consecutive games after finding the end zone just once through his first six contests and is just two TDs away from matching his total from all of last season. Moreover, the fifth-year wideout has seven targets or more in six of eight games this season and is well on pace to eclipse 1,000 receiving yards once again. Boyd will now take…read more

  • Over 100 yards, TD in loss

    Boyd caught 11 of 13 targets for 101 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-34 loss to the Browns. He also threw a 16-yard pass.

    Analysis: Boyd just managed to break the plane for an 11-yard touchdown 15 seconds before halftime, and he's up to 48 catches through seven games this season. The standout slot receiver also put his versatility on display with a 16-yard pass to running back Giovani Bernard on a trick play. As the most consistent weapon for rookie quarterback Joe Burrow, who threw for over 400 yards in this one, Boyd should continue to play a major role in what's projected to be a high-scoring Week 8 affair against the…read more

  • Totals 79 scrimmage yards

    Boyd caught five of eight targets for 54 yards and carried once for an additional 25 yards during Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Colts.

    Analysis: Boyd finished tied for second on the team in targets but was limited mostly to short gains while Tee Higgins and A.J. Green did most of the downfield work. He added to his yardage output with an explosive rushing gain, but overall it was a less-than-stellar outing for the slot receiver. Boyd continues to receive his fair share of targets (eight or more in four of the last five), but he has now been held under 60 receiving yards three times on the season. He'll look to get back on track in a…read more

  • Quieted by Ravens

    Boyd hauled in four of his six targets for 42 receiving yards during Sunday's 27-3 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old wideout had been outstanding over his previous three outings heading into a tough matchup against Baltimore. Boyd had corralled at least seven passes in each of those three preceding games, boasting an average of 95.7 receiving yards per contest in appearances against the Browns, Eagles and Jaguars. In a showdown against Baltimore's Marlon Humphrey and Marcus Peters, who own a combined three All-Pro nods, Boyd was held to his second-lowest receiving output of 2020. Week 6…read more

  • Tough corner matchup

    Boyd will likely be shadowed by Ravens' corner Marlon Humphrey on Sunday, even with A.J. Green active, Jay Morrison of The Athletic suggests.

    Analysis: Humphrey covered Boyd well last season, holding him to a combined nine catches for 72 yards over two games. This was without Green in the lineup, so it's possible that Humphrey could go back to covering Green, but Boyd clearly has been the bigger threat so far this season. The alternative is Marcus Peters, which isn't really a big step down for that matter.

  • Leading receiver in win

    Boyd caught seven of eight targets for 90 yards and added a four-yard rush in Sunday's 33-25 win over the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Boyd had a would-be 16-yard touchdown nullified by a holding penalty in the first quarter, but he still delivered a nice performance, leading the team in targets, catches and receiving yards. After catching only four balls for 33 yards in Week 1, Boyd has exploded for 287 yards and a touchdown on 24 receptions over the past three games, coinciding with three consecutive 300-yard passing performances from rookie quarterback Joe Burrow. Boyd's the leading option in what has turned into a…read more

  • Double-digit catches against Eagles

    Boyd pulled down 10 of 13 targets for 125 receiving yards during Sunday's 23-23 tie against the Eagles.

    Analysis: It's certainly possible the torch has already been passed from A.J. Green to Boyd as the Bengals' No. 1 wideout, as the 25-year-old has outproduced the seven-time Pro Bowler in amassing 230 receiving yards to Green's 116 through three weeks. Green garnered 22 targets to Boyd's 13 Weeks 1 and 2, but Joe Burrow threw to Boyd with more than twice the frequency than he did Green in Week 3 as Cincinnati avoided a loss for just the third time since the start of last season. Next for Boyd is a matchup…read more

  • Paces pass catchers in Week 2 loss

    Boyd brought in seven of eight targets for 72 yards and a touchdown in the Bengals' 35-30 loss to the Browns on Thursday.

    Analysis: The veteran receiver was within inches of a two-touchdown night, but he couldn't corral a late third-quarter catchable throw from Joe Burrow in the end zone. However, Boyd atoned for the error with time winding down, notching a nine-yard scoring grab with 48 seconds remaining that brought the Bengals to within 35-30 and gave them a brief glimmer of hope. Boyd led the Cincinnati pass-catching corps in receptions and receiving yards Thursday, and for what it's worth, displayed a lot more…read more

  • Quiet performance in Week 1

    Boyd caught four of five targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: Rookie QB Joe Burrow didn't have much time in the pocket behind a porous offensive line, and as a result Boyd didn't catch his first pass of the game until midway through the third quarter, as Cincinnati had to adjust its game plan to get the ball out of Burrow's hands quickly. The 25-year-old is coming off back-to-back 1,000-yard campaigns and is comfortable working intermediate routes, but he could get more opportunities downfield in Week 2 against a Browns secondary that got lit up by Lamar…read more

  • Chemistry with Burrow solid

    Joe Burrow said Sunday that he expects Boyd to have a big 2020 season, Tyler Dragon of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: "I have a great connection with [Boyd] right now," Burrow said. The 25-year-old wideout demonstrated as much chemistry with his rookie signal-caller during Sunday's scrimmage, per Ben Baby of ESPN.com, when the two connected for a 28-yard touchdown. Burrow made ample use of his slot receiver at LSU in 2019, and Boyd has already proven himself in the form of back-to-back 1,000 yard seasons, so it wouldn't come as much of a shock if the two do indeed develop a lethal connection. With a healthy…read more

  • Joined by a healthy A.J. Green

    Boyd, who is one of 11 NFL wide receivers with 1,000 or more receiving yards in each of the past two seasons, figures to see fewer double-teams out of the gate this season with the return to health of top wideout A.J. Green, ESPN's Ben Baby reports.

    Analysis: With Green missing the entire season with an ankle injury, Boyd was the Bengals' unquestioned top target in 2019, a context that yielded 148 targets (tied for the sixth highest in the league) and 90 catches. With Green back in the mix, Boyd may not enjoy quite the volume he did last year, but with a fair amount of defensive focus likely to shift to Green, Boyd should continue to see his share of looks out of the slot. Moreover, the Bengals are on track to start No. 1 overall pick Joe Burrow…read more

  • Makes five catches vs. Browns

    Boyd caught five of seven targets for 57 yards during Sunday's 33-23 win over the Browns.

    Analysis: Boyd led the team in targets and caught all but two balls thrown his way, but the talented Cleveland secondary held him to 11.8 yards per grab. The Bengals didn't lean on the passing game much as they led for most of the game, which limited his output in the season finale. This modest output gives Boyd his second consecutive 1,000-yard season, which is rather impressive given the state of the team's quarterback play this season. With A.J. Green (ankle) likely to move on this offseason, Boyd…read more

  • Not on injury report

    Boyd (undisclosed) doesn't appear on the Bengals' Week 17 injury report, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Though the Bengals didn't actually practice Wednesday, the team posted an estimated practice participation report. That report didn't include Boyd, who exited the Bengals' Week 16 overtime loss to the Dolphins with an undisclosed issue with 23 seconds remaining in regulation. Before departing, Boyd still delivered for fantasy managers, hauling in nine of 15 targets for 128 yards and two scores. He'll look to close out his 2019 campaign on another high note Sunday against the Browns.

  • Stellar effort in OT loss

    Boyd, who left the game late due to an injury, secured nine of 15 targets for 128 yards and two touchdowns in the Bengals' 38-35 overtime loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

    Analysis: Boyd paced the Bengals in receptions, receiving yardage and targets for the day, even as he exited the game with an undisclosed injury with 23 seconds remaining in regulation. The 100-yard effort was his fourth of the season and left him just 13 yards short of a second consecutive 1,000-yard campaign. The fifth-year receiver also now has a career-high 85 grabs, as he's been the clear top option with A.J. Green (ankle) missing the entirety of the season and John Ross a good chunk of it with a…read more

  • Limited to 26 yards

    Boyd caught three of seven targets for 26 yards during Sunday's 34-13 loss to the Patriots.

    Analysis: Sunday snapped a nice little three-game run for Boyd during which he caught five passes per game, scored twice and averaged 80.7 total yards per contest. As the top receiver for a team that frequently plays from behind, Boyd is one of the few Bengals worth considering from a fantasy perspective. The Patriots possess one of the top pass defenses in the league, so Boyd can be forgiven for a bit of a clunker. Cincinnati plays a struggling Miami squad Week 16, making Boyd a…read more

    Analysis: Boyd led the team in catches and receiving yards while finishing behind only Alex Erickson in targets. He recorded a long gain of 21 yards and has now surpassed 60 receiving yards in four of his last six games. Boyd is on pace for his second career 1,000-yard season and will look to inch closer to the milestone next Sunday against the Patriots.

  • TDs in two straight

    Boyd caught five of 10 targets for 59 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 22-6 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Boyd scored a 17-yard touchdown in the first quarter, catching this one from Andy Dalton after being on the receiving end of a Ryan Finley score last week. Dalton being reinserted under center helps Boyd's rest-of-season outlook, especially now that the 25-year-old receiver has rediscovered his nose for the end zone after starting the season with only one touchdown through 10 games. Boyd will look to extend his TD streak to three games in a Week 14 rivalry game against the Browns.

  • Tops 100-yard mark

    Boyd caught five of nine targets for 101 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: Boyd led the team in targets, catches, and receiving yards, topping the 100-yard mark for the third time this season. He tied his season long with a 47-yard reception and scored a 15-yard touchdown to get his team on the board in the second quarter. The touchdown was Boyd's first since Week 5, and this was an excellent way to bounce back after he failed to generate any yardage last week against the Raiders. He will have another chance to thrive next Sunday against the Jets.

  • Nets zero yards vs. Raiders

    Boyd caught one of three targets for zero yards during Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Raiders.

    Analysis: Despite being presented with a favorable matchup, Boyd was almost an afterthought in the passing game, finishing tied for fifth on the team in targets. He caught just one of his looks but failed to gain any yardage, marking the first time in his NFL career that he managed such an underwhelming return. Boyd remains the most talented option available to the Cincinnati passing attack, but it's difficult to project big numbers next Sunday at home against the Steelers.

  • Hauls in six passes in loss

    Boyd caught six of eight targets for 62 total yards during Sunday's 49-13 loss to Baltimore.

    Analysis: The Bengals offense was quiet for the most part in Ryan Finley's debut, but Boyd did manage to reel in a nice 24-yard pass over the middle early in the second half. The Bengals have played an ugly brand of football this season, but Boyd has still kept value by hauling in at least five passes in seven of nine games, though he has just one touchdown on the season. That share may slip when and if A.J. Green (ankle) returns, but that timetable remains unclear after Green's setback this week. Next…read more
