Our trio has played 7 games together this year. Here's the average targets in those 7 games:
Chase: 8.4 targets
Tee: 8.1 targets
Boyd: 5.4 targets
Now compare that to last year. In the 9 games Green/Tee/Boyd played together with Joey B:
Green: 7.6 targets
Tee: 7.9 targets
Boyd: 9.1 targets

Boyd is down 3.7 targets per game. A 40% drop. Not to toot my own horn, but I predicted Boyd would be the one to take the hit if we drafted Chase, and I even suggested we trade him, because his production would likely no longer be worth $10 million.
Boyd's best game this year (9 for 118) came with Tee out. Also his only touchdown was in the other game Tee missed.
To me this is the problem. Boyd should be averaging the most targets. At this point in all our WR careers he's the most consistent and reliable. 9 for 118 is solid I know what Chase has been doing is amazing but he is still struggling with drops and he still makes rookie mistakes and Higgins is having his own struggles this season.
