4 ) Tyler Boyd, Cincinnati Bengals
Tyler Boyd’s breakout year with the Bengals was largely tied to his increased efficiency in the slot. He ranked second behind Hill in yards per route run at 2.00 and ranked eighth in passer rating when targeted (113.9) from the slot in 2018.
Boyd was specifically remarkable on third and fourth down, as his 84.6 receiving grade on such downs ranked second among receivers with at least 50 routes run in the slot on third or fourth down. He caught 20-of-36 targets for 14 first downs and two touchdowns from an inside alignment on the two money downs a year ago.

Pay the man, reminds me of Housh. Clutch with great hands and runs crisp routes.
Hoping Ross makes that 3rd year breakout similarly and opens up plays for Boyd and AJ.
