The Packers receiving corps was decimated this week as the Ravens knocked out both James Jones and Randall Cobb. Cobb is out for multiple weeks with a broken fibula and could miss as many as 6-8 weeks. Jones escaped with “only” a PCL Sprain and he may be ready to go as early as next week. However, Jones is so reliant on his speed that he may struggled if he’s limited. The injuries mean Jordy Nelson and Jermichael Finley will be more focal points of the passing game, but it will also open the door for Boykin to get some looks.

Aaron Rodgers spreads the ball around to his receivers based on defensive looks, so since Boykin will be on the field he’ll have the ball coming his way. He showed his upside and his risk last week catching just one of the six passes thrown his way. That one catch, he took for a nice 43 yard run showing that he can make plays once he does haul in passses.

Boykin is definitely worth a flier add in all fantasy formats since he’ll be a part of a dynamic pass-heavy offense for the next few weeks and could break out like Cobb, Jones, and Nelson have done in the past as they worked their way up the depth chart.
