The Nashville Post's John Glennon writes that it's hard to imagine that Tennessee Titans impending free-agent wide receiver Tyler Boyd will be back in 2025. The Titans believed that Boyd's experience with head coach Brian Callahan from their time with the Cincinnati Bengals would make him a valuable piece of the offense in 2024, but that just didn't come to fruition. The 30-year-old pass-catcher only produced 39 catches for 390 yards and no touchdowns in his 16 games for Tennessee, his lowest totals since 2017, his second year in the league. Boyd was a decent target for quarterbacks Will Levis and Mason Rudolph on third downs, but his lack of production for the Titans this past season will likely lead them to let him walk in free agency this March. In addition to 2024 being a big disappointment, it was also his first season without finding the end zone.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Boyd (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 18 contest against the Houston Texans. The 30-year-old signed a one-year deal with the Titans during the offseason in hopes of giving his offense a lift. Instead, Boyd had a down year with only 39 receptions for 390 yards and finished with zero touchdowns in 16 games. The expectation is that the rebuilding Titans will go in a different direction and let Boyd walk into free agency. The Titans will have Calvin Ridley and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine serve as their primary receiving options during Sunday's regular season finale.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Boyd (foot) did not participate in Thursday's practice. Boyd was sidelined for the second day in a row, casting serious doubt about his availability for Week 18 against the Houston Texans. He hasn't been inactive yet this season but could be at risk of missing Sunday's regular-season finale. The veteran receiver has caught 39 passes for 390 yards through 16 games, but he's still searching for his first touchdown as a member of the Titans. If Boyd can't suit up, we'd expect some combination of Mason Kinsey and Bryce Oliver in the No. 3 receiver role behind Calvin Ridley and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Boyd (foot) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimation. Boyd has made frequent appearances on the injury report this season, but he hasn't missed a game yet. The 30-year-old has consistently operated as the Titans' No. 3 receiver, totaling 39 catches for 390 yards through 16 games. He's still looking for his first touchdown as a member of the Titans, and he's just one game away from finishing a season without a touchdown for the first time in his career. Given that he's behind Calvin Ridley, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, and Chig Okonkwo in the pecking order, Boyd remains off the fantasy radar and can be left on waivers in most leagues.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Boyd caught 2-of-4 targets in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 30-year-old was a non-factor in Week 17, notching his fourteenth outing in 2024 with three or fewer receptions. It's unlikely that the veteran fell off so drastically; instead, questionable quarterback play is the cause of his subpar season. Unless he puts together a monster performance in Week 18 to close out the year, Boyd will finish under 600 receiving yards for the first time since his sophomore season in 2017, when he played just ten games (22/225/2). With Rudolph and teammate Will Levis slated to split QB reps next weekend, it doesn't look like his situation will improve to close out the season. Tennessee will host the Houston Texans in the season's final week.
Dec 30, 2024 2:15 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Boyd (foot) is active for Sunday's Week 17 contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He had been listed as questionable and faced an uphill battle to play after missing three consecutive practices, but in the end, he'll be able to suit up. Calvin Ridley and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine will continue to operate as the Titans' top two receivers, with Boyd set to be the No. 3 receiver. This week, he'll be catching passes from Mason Rudolph. Boyd and Rudolph connected for just two completions and 20 yards last Sunday. The 30-year-old receiver should be left on waivers in most fantasy leagues.
Dec 29, 2024 11:33 AM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Boyd (foot) was unable to practice all week but is considered questionable to play on Sunday in a divisional clash versus the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 17. In addition to Boyd, receiver Colton Dowell (knee) is out and receiver Bryce Oliver (knee) is questionable. The Titans played running back Tony Pollard (ankle) after he missed all three days of practice last week, but that doesn't mean the team will do the same with Boyd this weekend. Even if the 30-year-old pass-catcher suits up on Sunday, he should be avoided by fantasy managers playing for a championship in Week 17. The matchup against Jacksonville is an excellent one, but Boyd would still have very little upside with quarterback Mason Rudolph running the offense. Boyd is still searching for his first touchdown of the year and has only 376 receiving yards in 15 games in 2024.
Dec 27, 2024 5:35 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Boyd (foot) missed a second straight practice this week on Thursday. Boyd suffered a foot injury in last week's loss to the Indianapolis Colts and is now in danger of having to sit out this Sunday's divisional contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 30-year-old veteran will need to return to practice on Friday to avoid being ruled out entirely. In Tennessee's lackluster offense and low-volume passing attack in 2024, Boyd hasn't really been on the fantasy map while working behind WR1 Calvin Ridley. In 15 games in his first year with the Titans, Boyd has a mere 37 receptions on 53 targets for 376 yards and no touchdowns. He has not had more than six receptions or 55 yards receiving in a single game in 2024. In the last four games, he has just eight catches for 103 yards. Avoid Boyd in Week 17.
Dec 26, 2024 7:55 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Boyd (foot) did not participate in practice on Thursday. The 30-year-old receiver will likely need to log a limited or full practice on Friday in order to have any chance of playing against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 16. Boyd has delivered modest production through 14 games in 2024, catching 35 passes for 356 yards but failing to find the end zone. He should be left on waivers in most fantasy leagues heading into this week's divisional battle.
Dec 20, 2024 1:08 AM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Boyd (foot) made his return to practice on Thursday after he was listed as a non-participant for the first practice session of Week 15 on Wednesday. Boyd's return on Thursday puts him on track to at least have a shot at playing this Sunday when the team takes on the visiting Cincinnati Bengals and their suspect secondary. Even with the excellent upcoming matchup, the 30-year-old veteran wideout probably shouldn't be trusted as a starting fantasy option in the first round of the postseason in most league. In his first year in Tennessee, Boyd has struggled for fantasy relevance in a low-volume, inconsistent offense, catching 33 passes for only 317 yards. If Boyd isn't given the green light to suit up on Sunday, rookie Jha'Quan Jackson could be the team's starting slot receiver next to Calvin Ridley and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine.
Dec 12, 2024 3:13 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Boyd (foot) did not participate in practice with the rest of the team on Wednesday. Boyd is off on the wrong foot in terms of his availability for the Week 15 contest versus the Cincinnati Bengals, but he still has two more days to get back on the practice field. The 30-year-old veteran played 59 percent of the offensive snaps in last Sunday's loss to the division-rival Jacksonville Jaguars and hauled in just one of his four targets for seven yards. Boyd isn't rostered in most 12-team fantasy leagues in Tennessee's low-volume passing attack. In his first year with the team in 2024, he has only 33 receptions for 317 yards and no trips to the end zone in 13 games played. If Boyd's foot injury is serious enough to sideline him for Week 15 against Cincy, rookie Jha'Quan Jackson could start in the slot for the Titans.
Dec 11, 2024 5:54 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Boyd caught just one of his four targets on Sunday afternoon, producing a seven-yard reception during the third quarter against the Jacksonville Jaguars. For the first time since Week 10 (and just the third time this season), Boyd was held to one or fewer receptions. The 30-year-old now has 33 catches for 317 yards this year, but he's still looking for his first touchdown as a member of the Titans. He remains off the fantasy radar in his current role as the No. 3 receiver behind Calvin Ridley and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine.
Dec 9, 2024 12:28 AM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Boyd should be viewed as a desperation flex option in deeper 3WR formats in Week 13 when he faces the Washington Commanders. Last weekend, the veteran wideout enjoyed his best game of the season, catching all six of his targets for a season-high 55 yards. However, during Weeks 6 through 11, Boyd averaged a mere 4.1 PPR points and saw just 2.8 targets per game during this stretch. With Calvin Ridley and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine operating as the No.1 and 2 receivers, Boyd will have trouble finding consistent targets. However, given his impressive showing last weekend, fantasy managers in 14+ team 3WR formats could consider using Boyd as a desperation flex option facing the Commanders, who have allowed the 16th-most PPR points this season to opposing wideouts.
Nov 30, 2024 2:55 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Boyd enjoyed his best game as a Titan in the 32-27 win over the Houston Texans on Sunday. The former Cincinnati Bengal finished the game with six receptions for 55 yards on six targets and even had a pass attempt but couldn't complete it. Tennessee's passing game, led by Will Levis and Mason Rudolph has been inconsistent, to say the least. Even though DeAndre Hopkins left, Boyd hasn't seen much of an uptick in production just yet. He'll try to find the end zone for the first time against the Washington Commanders in Week 13.
Nov 25, 2024 9:52 AM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Boyd (back) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. He was a late addition to the injury report on Saturday, garnering a "questionable" designation despite being a full participant in practice all week long. Boyd has appeared in all nine games this year but hasn't caught a pass since Week 8 against Detroit. On the season, he has 21 catches, 184 yards, and zero touchdowns. He's off the fantasy radar in his current role behind Calvin Ridley on a struggling Titans squad.
Nov 17, 2024 12:22 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Boyd (back) appears to be trending in the right direction ahead of the Week 11 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Boyd was a late addition to the injury report as he was added on Saturday due to a back issue. It sounds like the organization is hopeful that Boyd can play, but he hasn't done much on the field lately anyway. Boyd hasn't drawn a target since Week 8 and is barely on the fantasy radar for Week 11. If he sits, Calvin Ridley and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine would see more involvement in the offense on Sunday.
Nov 17, 2024 10:37 AM EST
According to Ben Arthur of Fox Sports, Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Boyd (back) has been added to the team's injury report and is officially questionable for Week 11. The ninth-year wideout is a late addition to Tennessee's report, putting his status for their home tilt against the Minnesota Vikings in question. Due to the timing of the injury, the decision of whether he'll be active could go right up until game time. The Vikings and Titans will square off at 1:00 PM ET on Sunday. Even if Boyd is active, he will not be a recommended option for fantasy, with just 21 receptions and 184 receiving yards through nine appearances in 2024. Moreover, the veteran has not recorded a single target in his prior two contests.
Nov 16, 2024 5:07 PM EST
Tennessee Titans offensive coordinator Nick Holz said that wide receiver Tyler Boyd (shoulder) has been limited with a shoulder injury, but now he's now as healthy as he's been in recent weeks heading into the Week 11 contest versus the Minnesota Vikings and is expected to be more of a factor on offense moving forward. Boyd's lack of production/involvement recently was more of a health issue than anything else. The 30-year-old veteran played a season-low 29% of the offensive snaps in Week 9 overtime win over the New England Patriots but bumped up to 61% in the Week 10 loss to the to the Los Angeles Chargers. Boyd wasn't targeted in either of those games while seeing one carry for three yards. He has failed to go over 43 receiving yards in any of his nine games in his first year in Tennessee in 2024 and should remain on the waiver wire in most fantasy leagues.
Nov 15, 2024 1:17 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Boyd (shoulder) was removed from the injury report ahead of the Week 10 matchup with the Chargers. The veteran was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday. But he was a full-go for Friday's session. With DeAndre Hopkins now a Kansas City Chief, others had a chance to step up. While Calvin Ridley and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine have been useful for fantasy managers, Boyd remains irrelevant on the offensive end for the Titans. That's not expected to change anytime soon, so he shouldn't draw any attention from fantasy managers, especially with a difficult game on the horizon.
Nov 9, 2024 12:28 AM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Boyd (shoulder) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice. This is now back-to-back limited practice sessions for Boyd to start the week. The 29-year-old is coming off a dud where he played a season-low 29 percent of the snaps during last week's win over the New England Patriots. There's no guarantee Boyd does anything on offense even if he's active this weekend. He'll get a tough matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers defense. Jha'Quan Jackson could see more snaps if Boyd sits out, but neither of them are reliable streaming options right now.
