If Tyler Boyd was used as the #2 WR in 2024 – How well would he do ? – POLL

We aren't talking a former All Pro who's still putting up 1000 yard seasons.  We're talking about a guy 4 years removed from his last 1000 yard season who has been steadily declining.

Boyd was at 9.3 yards per target in 2022 and 8.8 yards per target in 2021.

But Boyd's best yardage season of 90 catches for 1,046 yards in 2019 yielded a yards per Target of 7.068 with 148 Targets.

I have always been a yards per Catch guy. 

In 2019 Boyd averaged 11.6 yards per Catch.

In 2022 (with a healthy Burrow) Boyd averaged 13.1 yards per Catch.

In 2023 (with Burrow & his Calf and Browning) Boyd was down around 10 yards per Catch.

*In 2024 (with a healthy Burrow) I could see Boyd possibly getting closer to his 2019 yards per Catch in the 11.5 range.

Longest Catch:   2021 - 68 yards     2022 - 60 yards     2023 - 64 yards
