Over the past two weeks, Boyd has recorded a combined 226 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

Green<\/a><\/strong> suffered a groin injury during Week Three. While Green expects to play this week, his production could be limited. This will elevate Boyd to the top spot, allowing him to see more targets and more opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the Bengals are going up against a banged-up Atlanta Falcons.

As a former first-round pick, Williams boasts incredible physical skills. He has ideal size, great speed, and strong hands. Additionally, Williams is tied for the team lead in targets. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/R\/RivePh00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Philip Rivers<\/a><\/strong> will continue to look for him, and Williams should keep putting up strong numbers.
