Tyler Boyd, Cincinnati Bengals, $6,800

Stats: 756 receiving yards, 5 touchdowns

Tyler Boyd has been targeted 15 times since the devastating injury to A.J. Green, seeing 25 targets the past three games. Which has amounted to 274 receiving yards and one touchdown. He has been the go to guy in Green’s absence. That trend will continue against a Cleveland Browns defense which is 30th-ranked against the pass heading into this matchup.

Boyd has been a high-value play all season long. This home date with fellow state of Ohio rivals should be no different from a fantasy producing standpoint. Throughout the entire season, Boyd is averaging eight targets and 75 receiving yards per game. His usage is something to consider in your FanDuel lineups going forward. We love his high floor and team leading target share going into Week 12.

The Brows have been in shootouts all season long and this week will be no different. Boyd will exploit this defense which allows 450 yards per game to opposing offenses. Andy Dalton will look for his young receiver early and often in a must win game. Head coach Marvin Lewis might actually be on the hot seat if they can’t pull off this win at home. We project Boyd to go off and have a really good game this week.

Prediction: 100 receiving yards, 2 touchdowns
