Wide Receiver: Tyler Boyd $6,000

Tyler Boyd is clearly the top guy in Cincinnati, but he’s not getting that price tag yet on Fanduel. Burrow has targeted Boyd 29 times over the last three weeks. He rewarded him with an 83% catch rate, 287 yards, and a touchdown. The red zone targets will come, but for now Burrow keeps looking for him across all zones.

Boyd is poised for a huge season with the Bengals. A.J. Green looks like his career might be on it’s way to the end. John Ross can’t even make the lineup. Tee Higgins is the Bengals second most reliable receiver. Boyd is the guy there by a lot.

The Baltimore Ravens are a tough matchup, but their passing defense hasn’t been great this season. They are allowing 270 yards per game through the air. Only six teams are allowing more. Terry McLaurin last week was the first receiver to get 100 yards on them, but it looks like that could open the flood gates.

Boyd needs to hope Joe Mixon has another big game so a lot of the focus isn’t on him. Getting the defense off his back will give him more targets. There’s a chance Burrow is forced to throw the ball in tight spaces to Boyd since the Ravens are likely going to blitz a lot. It could lead to a big play for Boyd if Burrow can thread the needle once or twice.

Other Options: CeeDee Lamb $5,900, Brandon Aiyuk $5,600
