Who Should I Start? Tyler Boyd or Jalin Hyatt

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.

New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt is receiving another opportunity to prove his fantasy value in Week 10 against the Chicago Bears. Yet he remains an unreliable option given his minimal production this season. Hyatt has done little with his chances, registering only three receptions for 17 yards on the year, making him essentially unplayable in fantasy leagues. The silver lining is the opponent: the Bears rank 30th against WRs, giving up a league-high 38.63 points per contest. Furthermore, Chicago has allowed 20 passing touchdowns on the season, indicating a high-scoring environment where Hyatt could benefit from a deep shot. Still, based on his season-long performance of only five targets, he is not to be started in any leagues.
