Cincinnati Bengals: Why Tyler Boyd Should Help Elevate A.J. Green

If Boyd can repeat his 2018 success this year, he can help elevate Green’s game. Green is versatile and will be lined up all over the field. Green and Boyd were the top targets for Andy Dalton, although they only played nine games together last season. Boyd is the prototypical slot receiver and spent over 75% of his snaps there last year. His quickness and sharp route running suit him well for the role. His emergence last season helped alleviate some of the pressure on Green. There are plays where they lined up close to one another and Boyd attracts the attention of two defenders, giving the seven time Pro Bowler single coverage.
