Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd has been a hot and cold fantasy option over the last two seasons in a crowded receiver room, but he's still very much on the fantasy radar, especially in deep leagues. Even in shallow leagues, he's at least a top "handcuff" wide receiver.
Boyd's name is now in the injury headlines, so we'll have to keep an eye on his latest updates and what they will mean for other Bengals' play-makers.
We have the latest scoop on Boyd heading into Week 15.

Tyler Boyd Injury Update for Fantasy Football
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd (finger) is set to miss time after suffering an injury during Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns. The 28-year-old suffered a dislocated finger in his right hand, which could force him to miss a week or two of action. It sounds like it'll depend on the healing and pain tolerance, so his return date is to be determined.
The good news is it's not a major lower-body injury that'll greatly affect his productivity whenever he does return, so fantasy managers can continue to stash him as the fantasy football playoff roll around.
Tyler Boyd Injury Fallout
Fellow wideout Tee Higgins (hamstring) is dealing with an injury already but would see increased value if he can suit up next week. Ja'Marr Chase and Joe Mixon are likely to benefit the most, assuming Boyd and Higgins miss time. There's also Hayden Hurst, who missed last week's game with a calf injury.
If Boyd, Higgins, and Hurst all miss next week, Trent Taylor, Trenton Irwin, and Mitchell Wilcox could benefit, but probably wouldn't have streaming value in shallow leagues. One of those three guys would see plenty of targets behind Chase, but it's tough to predict who. Deep leaguers would likely want to take shots on one of the secondary wide receivers, but they have no real floors until further notice.
Boyd's injury is a tough break for fantasy managers relying on him at the flex spot, but hopefully, they can fill in the gaps with our waiver wire suggestions.
