Fantasy Team owners will be scrambling to gather up Boyd who is a free agent in most leagues. Another often a free agent is Falcons Calvin Ridley. Both will be in Bengals / Falcons Game. Both are Red Hot. Boyd is out playing most of the other NFL WR's. Bengals need to keep giving him the ball.

One of the best WRs in the NFL? Not quite....

You should have said one the best fantasy pickups. That would be an accurate statement, not only in fact but in what your post was about.
I agree that he's improving a lot, and is turning into the best number 2 guy we've had in a few years. But he's not even a top 20 wr overall. Maybe not top 30 wr.

I used the word NOW, meaning now, in 2018 after first 3 weeks. Just as Mahomes and Fitzpatrick are some of best QB's in NFL, NOW, at this time in 2018. So I'm not going on career stats or what the preseason projections were. Boyd so far is outplaying most of the WR's in the NFL. He does in fact rank in top 15 in 2018 production so far, and Green is around top 5.

Thought Boyd would have a breakout year but he is even better than i thought he would be, love his effort and hands out there.
One of the bright spots in a tough loss.

And yet he'll somehow become a member of the Marvs Marvelous dog house club for reasons to be named later with one of Hobson's unexplained asterisks..

Ridley had 1 good game, was inconsequential in the other 2.

5 and 12. Not bad!
And Boyd is looking the part. He's doing all the things a top receiver does in terms of running routes, competing for the ball, reliability of his hands, getting open and anticipating his QB. He was awesome in Carolina.

Off topic but while surfing on TV I've heard a couple guys saying they like starting Dalton against the Falcons D this week.

He's a good 2nd option this year. I have Ryan and Rodgers.....wish I would have started Ryan! Scored 58 and change.....Ridley and Cooper Kupp added to the starting lineup got me over the hump though.

Could not be happier about what Boyd is doing for Bengals.

Turning into a solid #2. Now if we could just get Ross to step it up.

He's on pace right now for like 80 receptions and 10 TD's
An awesome #2

Falcon fans are we’re really high on this kid coming into the season. I don’t think he should be over looked; could be dangerous.
