Over the next few weeks, I’m going to walk through some of my favorite off-season buys & sells
I’ll be starting by looking at the WR position, & specifically @ 4 data sets:
aDot, YAC, Target % and Catch %
Today’s WR: Tyler Boyd. But is he a buy or sell? Let’s take a look

In 2020 Boyd finished as WR29 and top 24 in YAC and Catch % putting him in a club with 4 other members:
Amari Cooper...WR15
Juju Smith-Schuster...WR16
Cole Beasley...WR27
Hunter Renfrow...WR59
All 5 of these players were extremely efficient and reliable when targeted

Two primary factors hinder fantasy production of this group:
1) Target%: Each of these WR have heavy competition for targets, or in the case of Renfow, they simply aren’t featured
2) aDot: None finished in the top 24. Being targeted short means it’s on them to create big plays

So what about Boyd? What does this mean for him in 2021?
With AJ Green likely moving on, it will be Boyd and Higgins drawing the lions share of targets from Joe Burrow.
If Boyd is able to improve his target% (I think he will) he will join a much more compelling group

Players who were top 24 in YAC, T% and C% in 2020:
Davante Adams...WR1
Stefon Diggs...WR3
Deandre Hopkins...WR4
Justin Jefferson...WR6
Tyler Lockett...WR8
Robby Anderson...WR19
Cooper Kupp...WR26
Jarvis Landry...WR33

These WR’s were some of the most consistent fantasy producers in 2020
Prominent roles, a high degree of success when they were targeted and electric playmaking after the catch led to great fantasy output
In 2021 I look for Boyd with a larger T% to join this elite group
