Bengals expected to start Brandon LaFell over Tyler Boyd
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Brandon LaFell is expected to start over rookie Tyler Boyd this season, according to The Cincinnati Enquirer's Paul Dehner.
This could change if Boyd has a big training camp, but for now LaFell is running with the ones and in the driver's seat to replace Marvin Jones opposite A.J. Green. A second-round pick out of Pitt, Boyd is a finesse receiver with limited run-after-catch skills whose fit in the slot is questionable. The Bengals have a boatload of unaccounted-for targets after losing Jones and Mohamed Sanu in free agency, and Tyler Eifert to offseason ankle surgery.
Among the 56 receivers to see at least 70 targets in 2015, LaFell ranked last (56th) in Reception Net Expected Points per target.
