Dynasty Summary: Boyd’s value has been all over the map leading up to the NFL Draft as he is difficult to project to the NFL. He has adequate size and bulk to match up against more physical corners at the next level, but posted mediocre scores across the board at the NFL Combine in February. He lacks suddenness in out of his breaks and isn’t overly agile. On tape however, Boyd plays well above most measured attributes and traits. His large hands provide highlight reel catches and a plus catch radius but he can suffer from lack of concentration at times. He’s more of a PPR receiver in fantasy and should flirt with the bottom of the first round.
Rotoworld: 62. Where He Wins: A longtime headliner at Pitt. Was at his best in 2015 in the slot, using his limited athleticism in that area to create separation thanks to detail and a willingness to make contested catches or grabs in tight spaces. That is where he projects best.
Charles Davis: "His NFL comparisons are Keenan Allen and Jimmy Smith; went new and old school. Boyd is a real technician when running routes. He also brings a return game." --
