  • 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.

  • Versatile role in Week 4 win

    Boyd secured two of five targets for 47 yards and completed his only pass attempt for 23 yards in the Bengals' 27-15 win over the Dolphins on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Boyd recorded a 43-yard reception that served as his second longest of the season and also made his mark on a trick play as a passer, hitting Ja'Marr Chase for a 23-yard gain down the right side of the field in the first half. The veteran slot man finished third behind fellow wideouts Tee Higgins and Chase in receptions, receiving yards and targets, which is likely to be the case more often than not as the season unfolds, with an occasional exception. Boyd should see some solid volume in what…read more

  • Scores long TD in Week 3 win

    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.

  • Catches two passes in loss

    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. There will be better days ahead for Boyd, but the 27-year-old will likely find it difficult to produce consistently for fantasy purposes. Boyd and the rest of Cincinnati's offense will look to right the ship…read more

  • Finds end zone in Week 1

    Boyd caught four passes for 33 yards and one touchdown on seven targets against Pittsburgh on Sunday.

    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 will need to contribute more if Higgins can't give it a go in Week 2, when the Bengals will try to take out their frustrations in Dallas.

  • Comfortable in offense

    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. While efficient last season with a 71.3 percent catch rate and 8.8 YPT in a breakout year for the rest of the Bengals offense, Boyd saw his fewest targets…read more

  • Five catches in Super Bowl

    Boyd recorded five receptions on six targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 23-20 Super Bowl LVI loss to the Rams.

    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. Overall, Boyd had his least productive season since 2017, and his role isn't likely to expand in…read more

  • Scores in wild-card round

    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.

  • Healthy for wild-card round

    Boyd isn't listed on the Bengals' injury report for their upcoming wild-card game against the Raiders on Saturday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Boyd technically was active for the Week 18 loss to Cleveland, but he ultimately was one of a few veterans Cincinnati rested for the contest, finishing the afternoon without playing a single snap. He should return to his usual workload this Saturday against Las Vegas, and Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer adds that Boyd looked "especially sharp" at Wednesday's practice. The week of rest might have done Boyd some good, though he could face a tough matchup Saturday against Raiders slot…read more

  • Doesn't play in finale

    Boyd was active but didn't play a snap in Sunday's 21-16 loss to the Browns.

    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. His 4.2 receptions per game and 51.8 yards per game were both slightly down from last season, which was mostly a result of…read more

  • May not play, despite active status

    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. Since the Bengals don't have much on the line Sunday in terms of playoff position, escaping the contest without any injuries to regular starters looks like the team's top priority. Ja'Marr Chase was warming up with the Bengals'…read more

  • Stretches TD streak to three

    Boyd caught four of six targets for 36 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Boyd's five-yard touchdown catch early in the fourth quarter gave the Bengals their first lead of the game at 31-28. The slot receiver will take a three-game touchdown streak into the regular-season finale against the Browns, as well as season totals of 67 catches for 828 yards and five touchdowns.

  • Finds end zone

    Boyd caught three passes for 85 yards and one touchdown on five targets against Baltimore on Sunday.

    Analysis: Boyd is a good player and this box score is a welcome output for his fantasy investors, yet at the same time, this game was conclusive evidence that Boyd will rarely be prioritized ahead of the alpha wideout duo of Tee Higgins (13 targets) and Ja'Marr Chase (10 targets). It's an embarrassment of riches for the Bengals and a crowded picture for Boyd, talented as he is. The Bengals might need all three receivers to be at their sharpest as they prepare for a crucial Week 17 matchup against the…read more

    Boyd recorded five receptions on six targets for 96 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 15-10 win over the Broncos.

    Analysis: Boyd led Cincinnati's receivers in targets, yards and receptions, marking a rare occasion that he worked ahead of Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. He did the majority of his damage on a 56-yard touchdown catch late in the third quarter when he caught a ball deep down the sideline and weaved his way to the middle of the field and into the end zone. After struggling to hold a consistent role in the offense to begin the campaign, Boyd has now logged at least four receptions in four of his last five…read more

  • Four catches in OT loss

    Boyd caught four of five targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to the 49ers. He also gained eight yards on his only carry.

    Analysis: The veteran slot receiver had another productive game, though he once again took a back seat to the duo of Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. Boyd has posted a 17-202-1 line on 22 targets over four games since the Bengals' bye, giving him a reasonably solid fantasy floor heading into a Week 15 tilt against the Broncos.

  • Five grabs in lopsided loss

    Boyd secured five of seven targets for 85 yards in the Bengals' 41-22 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.

    Analysis: The veteran slot man made his presence felt during a game in which the Bengals had to pass plenty, checking in second in receiving yards behind Tee Higgins. Boyd now has at least four receptions in four of the last six contests, and Sunday's yardage tally was his highest since Week 4. Boyd heads into a Week 14 matchup against the 49ers with plenty of momentum.

  • Quiet game

    Boyd had two catches for 13 yards in the Bengals' romp over the Steelers on Sunday, though he had another catch wiped out by a penalty.

    Analysis: Boyd's problem was that the Bengals were running the ball so effectively, and the game was such a blowout, that they didn't need to throw very often and not at all in the fourth quarter. This week's game against the Chargers should be a closer contest.

  • Good to go

    Boyd isn't on the Wednesday injury report ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Steelers, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Boyd's absence from the Bengals' first Week 12 merely dealt with cramps and/or dehydration when he left Sunday's win over Las Vegas to receive an IV. 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. Boyd had one of his better games of the year in the first matchup with Pittsburgh, hauling in four of six targets for 36 yards and a score when the Bengals won 24-10 back in Week 3.

    Boyd left Sunday's game at Las Vegas in the fourth quarter to receive an IV.

    Analysis: Boyd was gimpy coming off the field, after which trainers evaluated him on the sideline before taking him to the locker room, per Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer. Prior to his departure, Boyd was the busiest Bengals receiver, turning a team-high eight targets into six catches for 49 yards while also adding 14 yards on one carry. Considering he'll have an entire week to rest up before Cincy's next game Sunday, Nov. 28 against the Steelers, he likely will be good to go Week 12,…read more

  • Another unproductive day

    Boyd hauled in one of two targets for an 11-yard reception Sunday in the Bengals' 41-16 loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: Even with the Bengals dialing up almost twice as many pass plays (47) as run plays (23), Boyd still ranked a distant third in targets among Cincinnati's starting wideout group. Youngsters Ja'Marr Chase (13 targets) and Tee Higgins (eight) have clearly surpassed Boyd in the pass-catching hierarchy, and even in a splashy offense, there doesn't seem to be enough volume to go around to make Boyd a reliable weekly fantasy option. Boyd hasn't drawn more than eight targets in any of Cincinnati's last…read more

    Boyd caught five passes for 69 yards and a touchdown on eight targets in Sunday's loss to the Jets.

    Analysis: With the Jets working to take the deep ball away from Ja'Marr Chase, Boyd was a little busier underneath than he had been in previous weeks. The receptions, targets and yardage were his highest totals since Week 4, while the TD was only his second of the season and his first since Week 3.

    Boyd had four catches for 39 yards on seven targets in Sunday's win over the Ravens.

    Analysis: The emergence of Ja'Marr Chase has come at the expense of Boyd, who has nine catches for 70 yards combined over the last three games. Boyd is now the third option behind Chase and Tee Higgins, and tight end C.J. Uzomah is becoming a bigger part of the offense than he used to be. That's a good situation for the Bengals, but a problem for Boyd's fantasy production.

    Boyd secured one of three targets for seven yards in Sunday's 34-11 win over the Lions.

    Analysis: For the second straight week, Boyd finished behind both Ja'Marr Chase (six) and Tee Higgins (six) in targets. The Cincinnati passing attack has taken a big step forward in 2021, which has certainly been aided by the addition of Chase as the fifth overall selection in this year's draft. Though Joe Burrow is airing it out, Boyd will have games like this when he takes a back seat to the young stars of the Bengals' receiving corps.

    Analysis: Boyd finished behind both Ja'Marr Chase (10) and Tee Higgins (seven) in targets. Though it was a quiet day for Boyd, his typically steady involvement in the passing game gives him a decent fantasy floor most weeks. He'll have a good bounce-back opportunity Week 6 against a vulnerable Lions pass defense.

    Boyd brought in nine of 11 targets for 118 yards in the Bengals' 24-21 win over the Jaguars on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Boyd stepped up with team- and season-high figures in receptions and receiving yardage, making two critical catches on Cincinnati's final drive and benefitting overall from a game script that forced the Bengals to frequently take to the air in the second half after they faced a surprising 14-0 halftime deficit. Tee Higgins' second consecutive absence with a shoulder injury seemed to play a hand in Boyd's ascension Thursday, and he's now drawn 30 targets overall in his first four contests. The…read more

    Boyd caught four of six targets for 36 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Steelers.

    Analysis: Boyd opened the scoring from 17 yards out late in the first quarter but then played second fiddle to Ja'Marr Chase (65 yards, two touchdowns) with Tee Higgins (shoulder) inactive. The reliable slot receiver has 14 catches for 141 yards and a touchdown heading into Thursday's Week 4 home tilt against the beatable Jaguars secondary.

  • Catches seven passes

    Boyd hauled in seven of his nine targets for 73 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Bears.

    Analysis: Meanwhile, Tee Higgins caught six of his team-high 10 targets for 60 yards and a TD and rookie Ja'Marr Chase caught two of his four targets for 54 yards and a TD. It was a decent PPR bounce-back effort for Boyd, who caught three of his four targets for 32 yards in Week 1. The slot man should see decent volume more often than not and will look to keep the pace next weekend when the Bengals travel to Pittsburgh.

  • Three catches in Week 1 win

    Boyd caught three of four targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win over the Vikings.

    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. He's a nice buy-low trade candidate after this quiet season debut, especially since quarterback Joe Burrow looks fully recovered from last year's knee surgery.

  • Ready for Week 1

    Boyd started Sunday's preseason game against Miami and took one carry for two yards on three snaps.

    Analysis: Boyd, Ja'Marr Chase and QB Joe Burrow played three snaps apiece, exiting for the night after they failed to pick up a first down on the opening series. Camp reports on the Cincinnati offense haven't been especially encouraging, but there's little question it'll be a pass-happy offense, so Boyd should continue to see steady targets out of the slot even while competing with Chase and Tee Higgins. The sixth-year pro opens his season with a home game against Minnesota, potentially seeing primary…read more

  • Facing more target competition

    Boyd will work alongside Tee Higgins and No. 5 overall pick Ja'Marr Chase in a talented Cincinnati receiving corps, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Boyd didn't get much work in two-wide formations last season, so the addition of Chase shouldn't have too much impact on the slot man's playing time. Targets could be a different matter, though the Bengals have consistently fed passes to their wide receivers (rather than RBs or TEs) under coach Zac Taylor, who ranks among the NFL leaders in usage of three-wide sets. While he may not see a ton of looks downfield or in the red zone, Boyd should still be a key part of the Cincinnati passing game…read more

  • Ends season on disappointing note

    Boyd recorded one reception on three targets for one yard in Week 17 against the Ravens. He added one rush for 11 yards.

    Analysis: Boyd was weighed down by the Bengals' lack of offensive firepower, as Brandon Allen completed only six passes in the entire game. After racking up 69 receptions for 710 yards across the first ten contests of the season with Joe Burrow (knee) under center, Boyd managed only seven receptions for 116 yards across the final six weeks due to missed games from a concussion and inconsistent quarterback play. Boyd is in the midst of a four-year contract and should be a top playmaker for the Bengals in…read more

  • Cleared for Week 17

    Boyd (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Ravens after practicing fully Friday.

    Analysis: Tee Higgins (hamstring) will also enter the weekend without a designation, setting the stage for the Bengals to have both of their top wideouts available. Boyd, who sat out the team's Week 16 win over the Texans, heads into the season finale with a PPR-friendly 78-840-4 line through 14 games.

  • On track for Sunday

    Boyd (concussion) is expected to play Sunday against the Ravens, Tyler Dragon of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: The 26-year-old sat out the Week 16 win over the Texans and was limited at practice the past couple of days while making his way through the concussion protocol, but he should be good to go for the season finale. It's unclear if Boyd will avoid an injury designation for the Week 17 contest altogether, but he's expected to avoid the inactive list ahead of the 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • Another limited session

    Boyd (concussion) was limited at practice Thursday, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: As was fellow receiver Tee Higgins (hamstring), which sets the stage for Friday's practice to determine whether each of the duo approach Sunday's game against the Ravens with injury designations or cleared to play. If one or both end up out or limited this weekend, Alex Erickson would be in line for added work Week 17.

    Boyd (concussion) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Head coach Zac Taylor confirmed Wednesday that Boyd remains in the NFL's concussion protocol, leaving the wideout's status up in the air for Sunday's game against the Ravens, according to Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer. If Boyd manages to upgrade to full activity in practice Friday and gains clearance from an independent neurologist, he'll likely step back into a starting role at receiver in the season finale.

  • Back at practice

    Boyd (concussion) is participating in Wednesday's practice, Tyler Dragon of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
