Tyler Boyd (WR, CIN) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 2% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: The Bengals offense appears to be clicking again as Cincinnati has scored 68 points in two games to start the season. A.J. Green is back to being a top end WR1, Andy Dalton doesn’t look incapable of playing quarterback and even though he will mis a couple of weeks, Joe Mixon was off to a great start. Everything is right in Cincinnati. The one question we need to ask now is who is going to be Dalton’s WR2 the rest of the season?

I thought John Ross was going to have a bounce back campaign and take that position as the deep threat for the Bengals, stretching the field and opening spaces for everyone else. Tyler Boyd has different plans though and wants his shot at the job.

Boyd was the leading receiver for the Bengals in Week 2 hauling in six catches for 91 yards and a touchdown. The good news for fantasy owners is that Green stole the show with three touchdowns so there is a good chance owners aren’t paying much attention to Boyd this week. With how this offense is rolling, we should be adding Boyd in leagues of 14 or more and adding him with deep rosters or starting positions. The WR2 in Cincinnati can have some value this year.
