The other targets, Auden Tate, Alex Erickson, 8 games of John Ross, Damion Willis and Stanley Morgan Jr.

How in the world can a guy get over a 1000 yards when he is the only target you have to cover and still not be viewed as a high-end/top WR???

Seriously... not many guys in the league would have posted 1000 yards with the garbage that was the 2019 team... but Boyd does and people question him?

He was 7th in the league in targets, for Pete's sake.  He was 25th in receiving yards.  You can get pretty much any competent WR to 1000 yards if you force them enough targets.  Tate had over 500 yards on 80 targets that year.  If you threw it to him 185 times, like Michael Thomas was, he'd have gotten 1000 easy.  Of course, Thomas got 1700+.  There's a huge difference between a true #1 and a #2 on a bad team that gets a ton of targets because everyone around him is terrible.
