Both were targeted 9 times in the red zone.  Boyd had 1 td and Green 2.  So not a lot of difference between them.

Green had 7 catches for 2 TD's and 5 1st downs on those targets.  So, every time he caught the ball in the red zone, he either scored or extended the drive.  He also doubled Boyd's TD output.

Boyd had 5 catches, 1TD, and 2 1st downs.  Those are terrible numbers.  His lack of red zone production and inability to step up his production significantly after AJ went down are strong indicators of a guy who was reliant on the deep outside threat of Green, and to a lesser extent LaFell, to open up space for him to work because he couldn't create space for himself consistently.  He deserves credit for finding soft spots in zones and making catches, but that's the definition of a possession WR.
