Tyler Boyd

Tyler Boyd is the other receiver that the Tennessee defense should be on the lookout for this weekend.

While he isn’t as big as A.J. Green or the rookie Tee Higgins, he is just as dangerous if not more. And on top of that, it isn’t even like Boyd is short, he is just 6’2 while the other two are towers on the outside. .

One of the best slot receivers in the NFL, Boyd has been a 1000-yard receiver twice in his four-year career and it wouldn’t surprise anyone if he did it again this season with the pass-heavy offense that the Bengals are running.

Boyd has had several great games so far this season, especially when the team started to show signs of life in Week 3 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Boyd finished that game with 10 catches on 13 targets for 125 yards.

Look no further than last week, where Boyd put up another big performance against the Cleveland Browns. Joe Burrow targeted him 13 times, he hauled in 11 for 101 yards and a touchdown. Boyd has had two other games this season with at least 50 yards.

I think it’s hard to say which receiver will get the load of the work on Sunday, but they can both be dangerous and we haven’t even really talked about Tee Higgins who is still adjusting to the NFL, but he is learning quickly.

If the Titans are going to turn it around, it would be nice to start with a great game against these weapons.
