Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd was one of the NFL's most prominent breakout players this past season, as he went from being a virtual afterthought in the Bengals' offense in 2017 to hauling in 76 receptions for 1,028 yards and seven touchdowns in 2018.

But, the question is, can Fantasy Football owners expect Boyd to replicate that production in 2019?

It's hard to see why not.

After all, Boyd had a pretty solid rookie campaign in 2016, catching 54 passes for 603 yards and a score. Yes, he snared just 22 balls for 225 yards and a couple of touchdowns during his second season, but he also missed some games with injuries.

He was also a very productive collegiate receiver at Pittsburgh, registering over 1,000 yards twice out of his three seasons with the Panthers.

Of course, one thing we do need to remember about Boyd is that his breakout 2018 campaign came with A.J. Green missing almost half the year as due to a toe injury.

As a result, Boyd's targets skyrocketed, as he went from receiving 32 targets in 10 games in 2017 to being targeted 108 times in 14 games this past year.

To be fair to Boyd, a lot of that also has to do with the fact that he was just getting better in general, but if Green had been healthy all season, chances are, Boyd probably would not have posted 1,000 yards.

But what leads me to believe that Boyd will be able to approach similar numbers in 2019 is the fact that he has now established himself as a reliable wideout for Andy Dalton, and Dalton will certainly look his way quite a bit this coming season.

Plus, it's not like the Bengals have a whole lot else in the passing game.

Sure, there is tight end Tyler Eifert, but Eifert has played just 14 games over the last three seasons. Cincinnati also has John Ross, but he has caught just 21 passes over his first two years in the NFL.

It's not like running back Joe Mixon is a big-time threat as a receiver out of the backfield, either.

So, more than likely, the majority of Dalton's throws will go toward Green and Boyd, meaning Boyd could be in for another season in which he catches 75 passes for over 1,000 yards and around 10 touchdowns.

Keep this in mind, too: the Bengals probably aren't going to be very good in 2019, which means they will likely be playing from behind quite a bit. As a result, Cincinnati will surely have to throw the ball more, which would mean more targets for Boyd.

No, the Bengals don't have a very good offensive line, so Dalton may not have a ton of time to throw the football, but that doesn't mean new head coach Zac Taylor won't run a pass-heavy offense.

Think of Boyd as a very high-end No. 2 receiver in fantasy leagues. It's probably too soon to consider him a dependable No. 1, because he doesn't have enough of a track record yet, but he is a great candidate to post similar numbers to what he did in 2018, which would make him a fantastic second option.
