Steelers Have Talked With Tyler Boyd

Tuesday, July 1, 12:16 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers reporter Mark Kaboly said on 93.7 The Fan that the team has had talks with free-agent wide receiver Tyler Boyd. It comes a day after Boyd said he's "absolutely" be interested in playing for the Steelers. It's unclear if a formal offer was made to Boyd, but the money that he's been offered around the league this offseason hasn't been in the neighborhood of what he's looking for. The Steelers acquired tight end Jonnu Smith in a trade on Monday with the Miami Dolphins, but they could still use additional receiver depth behind DK Metcalf. As things currently stand, Calvin Austin III is set for WR2 duties with Roman Wilson, Robert Woods, Scotty Miller and Ben Skowronek also on the roster. After eight seasons with the Bengals, Boyd caught 39 passes for 390 yards and no touchdowns in 16 games (eight starts) for Tennessee in 2024.

Jakobi Meyers Profiles as a Solid Flex Option in PPR Leagues

Saturday, September 12, 7:24 AM

Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Jakobi Meyers was a reliable fantasy asset after the team acquired him last season. He was outshone by Parker Washington and received less attention than the struggling Brian Thomas Jr., but Meyers has been reliable throughout his career. Week 1 against the Cleveland Browns should make for an interesting start to the season for the Jaguars offense, given the Browns should have at least a solid defense still without Myles Garrett. However, it is uncertain which of the aforementioned receivers will thrive the most, so they all should be viewed as flex options to start the season. The veteran receiver arguably has the lowest ceiling but the highest floor of the three, but that will only be confirmed once the season starts. From Weeks 12 through 18, Meyers averaged a high floor of 13.0 PPR points per game but only surpassed the 20.0-point mark once. For now, Meyers should be viewed as a solid flex option, especially in PPR leagues with three WR spots in Week 1.
