Boyd has certainly had a break out season.  He may just be the best #2 in the league.  He has shown a lot of fire and intensity too, and does not quit, no matter the score or the record.

Tyler Boyd has had a major breakout year and I'm really happy for him. I liked him a lot out of Pittsburgh and was disappointed in his game last year.
This year, complete 180.
People should remember his play when they look down on John Ross. It takes players time.

Diggs or Theilen... Whichever is number 2 may be better, but Boyd is coming for it.

I’ll be the bad guy I quess. But if we’re being honest one of the guys we probably all hate on a team we all hate is the best number 2 in the league.

You know who I’m taking about so I won’t even say his name.

Oh. Yeah... I forgot about Michael Gallup.

Haha.

Boyd has been fantastic. I love watching him play, just a baller. I'm glad he plays in Cincinnati, just wish there was a little more success for him to enjoy at the moment.

Boyd and Mixon have been the only bright spots this season.

Which is good timing with AJ getting up there in age. Now he doesn’t have to do it all by himself.

Add some pieces to the OL, and replace Lazor and we’ll be in business.

Eff him, don't even count that shithole organization.

Boyd looked liked he belonged and was contributing straight away...he had over 50 catches as a rookie and I think last season was more about the off field issues rather than his ability.

He's also benefiting from Lazor's focus on the quick release and short/medium passing routes.

He's a gamer and hope we get a full season of him and AJ next year

Hate to say it... Juju?

Tyler Boyd has more yards in a season than MJ, Sanu, or even TO had with Cincinnati, which is the most by a WR2 this decade. The Bengals haven't had as productive of a season from a WR2 like that since Housh was in Cincinnati.
It would behoove the Bengals to get Boyd extended.

And has made a boatload of acrobatic, difficult catches as well.....I think we have an offense much closer to that one in the 1st Ravens game than the one we've seen the last 6-7 games with both guys healthy........

I must say, I really liked him in the draft as becoming a good WR2 but I never thought he'd be 1200+ receiving yards-good.
If we're talking pure WR2 rather than just second receiving option, it probably has to be JJSS.

Damn you.....we weren't supposed to say that name!


(I know, I know, yes, he is probably better)

Some people want to write off a player after their first 1-2 years. I like to give players through their third year (often considered their breakout year).

I think if John Ross can start to get more yardage rather than just a red zone threat, the Bengals might end up with their long-term WR1 and WR2 in Ross and Boyd after AJ leaves/retires. Add in a dynamic TE, third WR, or QB and this offense could be special.
