One of my main issues with Boyd's overall production is he gets an inordinate number of targets due to lack of other options around him and doesn't produce up to his target volume. That's particularly true in '18 and '19 and not as much this year.
He's nowhere near a #1. Good CB's and double teams make him disappear. Marlon Humphrey is a good, but not too tier CB, and the Ravens just have him follow Boyd wherever he goes and he shuts him down. That's not a WR1.
Tyler Boyd is a very good slot receiver even though he doesnt offer much in YAC.
My biggest grip is his lack of position versatility. Its keeps the Bengals from moving other guys into the slot. Some of the top slot receivers arent on the slot receiver top lists because they only play 55 to 60% of the snaps there like Tyreek Hill, Deebo Samuel, Chris Godwin, and Justin Jefferson.
