Joe Burrow, Bengals go for 4-0 vs. KC in AFC title rematch

The Bengals and Chiefs have become familiar foes

JANUARY 26, 2023 • Associated Press

Only one catch Boyd had just one catch on two targets for 23 yards in the Bengals' win over the Bills on Sunday.

Impact That catch came on the team's opening drive and was a big play to help get the Bengals offense going, but more was expected from Boyd, given the attrition in the Bills secondary and that he scored in the Week 17 truncated game. The Bengals face the Chiefs next in the AFC Championship Game this coming Sunday, and Boyd has had exactly four catches in each of the three games the Bengals have played against them the last two years.

Catches five passes in win Boyd caught five of seven targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 27-16 win over the Ravens.

Impact Boyd continued to operate as the Bengals' No. 3 wideout Sunday, playing 48 of Cincinnati's 66 offensive snaps. So long as Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins are healthy, Boyd will remain a secondary target, but his ceiling is higher than most No. 3 receivers around the league as a member of Cincinnati's high-volume passing attack. He finished the regular season with 58 catches for 762 yards and five touchdowns over his 16 appearances.

Back in Sunday's game Boyd has returned to Sunday's game against the Ravens, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Exits Sunday's game Boyd was forced out of Sunday's game against the Ravens with a possible concussion.

Impact Before departing the contest, Boyd had caught three of his four targets for 42 yards. In his absence, Trenton Irwin could see added looks behind fellow WRs Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.

Three catches Boyd (finger) was held to three catches for 21 yards on four targets in Saturday's win over the Patriots.

Impact Boyd briefly left the game after aggravating his finger injury. Later in the second quarter, Boyd was the intended target on Joe Burrow's first interception on a play where Boyd appeared to stop his route, with the ball arriving where Burrow expected him to continue to run.

Returns Saturday after brief absence Boyd (finger) returned to Saturday's game against the Patriots after briefly exiting the contest, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact The Bengals listed Boyd as questionable to return to Saturday's contest after he apparently suffered an aggravation of the surgically repaired finger on his left hand, but the receiver looks like he'll be good to go for the rest of the afternoon upon being evaluated on the sideline for a brief spell.

Aggravates finger injury Boyd is questionable to return to Saturday's game against the Patriots due a left finger injury, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Boyd underwent surgery on one of his fingers two weeks earlier, so he presumably aggravated the digit in question at some point during Saturday's contest. If Boyd is unable to return to the Week 16 contest, he'll finish the game without a target.

Bengals look to tough stretch after rallying for 10th win

With an unsung, next-man-up defense and an unshakeable quarterback, the Cincinnati Bengals won their sixth straight game and are poised to clinch a playoff spot

DECEMBER 19, 2022 • Associated Press

Cashes in fifth TD Boyd (finger) caught all five of his targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-23 win over Tampa Bay.

Impact Boyd technically didn't miss last week's contest, but he might as well have from a fantasy perspective since he was forced to exit the game on Cincinnati's first drive. The veteran wideout returned in style, producing his fifth touchdown of the season. Excluding last week's aberration, the 28-year-old is averaging 3.9 receptions and 53.1 receiving yards per game in 2022, providing a high floor for fantasy managers in deeper formats. Boyd and the Bengals will head to New England to take on the Patriots on Saturday.

Listed as active Sunday Boyd (finger) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The same goes for fellow wideout Tee Higgins (hamstring), which bolsters a Bengals' passing offense that will be minus top tight end Hayden Hurst. In that context, Boyd -- who was limited to just two snaps in Week 14 after suffering a dislocated finger -- figures to profile as the team's No. 3 target versus Tampa Bay behind Ja'Marr Chase and Higgins, barring any in-game setbacks. It remains to be seen how much, if at all, Boyd is hampered by his finger injury, but it's worth noting the 29-year-old was listed as a full practice participant Friday.

DECEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Should play Sunday Boyd (finger), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Buccaneers, is expected to suit up, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Despite logging a full practice Friday, Boyd took an injury designation into the weekend, but he and fellow wideout Tee Higgins (hamstring) are both expected to be available for quarterback Joe Burrow in Tampa Bay. With tight end Hayden Hurst (calf) ruled out, Boyd should be the clear No. 3 target behind Ja'Marr Chase and Higgins. Boyd's availability will be officially confirmed when Cincinnati releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Listed as questionable after full practice Boyd (finger) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against Tampa Bay after being listed as a full practice participant Friday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Impact As is Tee Higgins (hamstring), which makes the status of the two wideouts worth confirming in advance of Sunday's 4:25 ET kickoff. That said, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site relays that coach Zac Taylor, as well as both players, has expressed optimism that the duo will be active this weekend.

DECEMBER 16, 2022 • SACBEE.COM

Optimism regarding Week 15 status Coach Zac Taylor noted Friday that he feels good about Boyd's (finger) chances of playing Sunday against the Buccaneers, Andrew Gillis of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact The same applies to fellow wideout Tee Higgins (hamstring), with the report suggesting that both players were able to work fully Friday. The Bengals' upcoming injury report is slated to clarify if either Boyd or Higgins end up carrying Week 15 injury designations, but at this stage both players are trending in the right direction.

Remains limited Thursday Boyd (finger) remained limited at practice Thursday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Impact Tee Higgins (hamstring) stayed limited as well, with both wideouts presumably needing to log a full practice Friday in order to avoid injury designations ahead of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. For his part, Boyd -- who was limited to just two snaps Week 14 after suffering a dislocated finger -- has indicated that he expects to play this weekend, per Dehner.
