I feel bad for Higgins and Boyd

Higgins and Boyd have become the WR2/WR3 of the group.

Higgins has only 194 yards across 4 games, putting him on pace for between 700-800 yards by season's end.
Boyd only has 290 yards across 6 games, putting him on pace for around 800-900 yards by season's end.

Chase is at 553 yards across 6 games and on pace for over 1500 yards and double-digit TDs. He's clearly the WR1 now.

I just feel bad because I do think Higgins could be a 1000+ yard WR if he got more opportunities, and we know Boyd can since he's done it multiple times before.

We won't have to worry about it for a couple more seasons after this one, but I could see Higgins and/or Boyd choosing to play elsewhere once their contract is up in order to get more opportunities.

Football is a game of matchups.  And no matter how much I felt like the Detroit matchup said to go 3 wide and air it out and test those UDFA CBs, they went 12 and tried to run the ball.  

Regardless, remember a few things about Higgins and Boyd:  

Higgins has missed two games to injury, and then he had two really bad drops against Green Bay.  

Boyd had a miscommunication with Burrow, but will get back on the same page quickly.  

For this offense to truly work, all three will be needed and needed to be at their best.  I think Higgins is due for a huge game and this could be it.  

Boyd has been a Raven killer in the past.  

Just 6 games in.....and while I understand what you are saying, I would be shocked if by year's end Boyd isn't over 1000 yards and possibly HIggins as well.
