Beasley has finished top 10 in the slot 3 times and Larry Fitzgerald has finished top 10 all 5 years. Adam Thielen doesn't really belong in the conversation since he only finished top 10 twice (with a max 57.1% of snaps being his most), along with a horde of other guys. Here are stats for all the guys that finished in the top 10 since 2016. Further down is the yearly production for Fitz, Boyd and Beasley and after that, the combined stats for all 5 years.

Boyd is certainly a consistent top 3 slot receiver, a low-end #1 receiver and a high-end #2 receiver. 

Good info.  I'd like to see the targets for each, though, because that makes a big difference on production.  One of my main issues with Boyd's overall production is he gets an inordinate number of targets due to lack of other options around him and doesn't produce up to his target volume.  That's particularly true in '18 and '19 and not as much this year.

He's nowhere near a #1.  Good CB's and double teams make him disappear.  Marlon Humphrey is a good, but not too tier CB, and the Ravens just have him follow Boyd wherever he goes and he shuts him down.  That's not a WR1.
