Burrow has also likely lost some trust in Boyd due to miscommunications on option routes and hot reads. You hardly ever see those issues with Tee and Chase. It's hard for the QB to have confidence if he can't trust the WR to be where he thinks he should be.
The last 2 games Burrow has 2 interceptions targeting Chase. Also we're wasting targets on Tee "can't make a tough catch" Higgins. I'm kidding on that last part. Look I know Chase obviously has the big play ability at another level than Boyd but that didn't do a dang thing for us on Sunday. Boyd has been forced to be our #1 WR in the past and he's proven himself to be a top slot WR in this league. So for us not to be targeting him more is just inexcusable. If Burrow has lost trust in Boyd than maybe he's a turd and we need to move on.
