MILES BOYKIN NEWS

Facing increased competition Boykin is off to a slow start at training camp, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Impact Per Zrebiec, James Proche's strong start is giving him an inside track at a roster spot, and that creates a numbers crunch in terms of how many receivers the Ravens can carry on the regular-season roster. Boykin, who has yet to break out through two seasons, has blocking and special teams ability that makes him an asset. However, he'll need to show more as a pass catcher through the rest of camp to ensure his spot on the roster.

Long touchdown in rout Boykin had one catch for 43 yards and a touchdown on two targets against the Bengals.

Impact Boykin made the most of his only catch with a season-long 43-yard reception that also set his single-game season-high for receiving yards. 2020 wasn't smooth sailing for Boykin as far as his development goes; he went from a rookie season with 13 catches for 198 yards and three touchdowns on 22 targets and 433 snaps to 19 catches for 266 yards and four touchdowns on 33 targets and 546 snaps. Boykin maintains an extremely low target rate per snap despite Baltimore struggling to find much production in the passing game beyond Mark Andrews and Marquise Brown. The Ravens face the Titans on Sunday.

Snares one pass Boykin caught one of two targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Giants.

Impact Boykin has failed to catch more than one pass in a game since Week 8. He's yet to surpass 38 yards in a game this year despite starting in 12 of 15 games.

Nabs third touchdown Boykin had one catch for a four-yard touchdown on two targets Sunday against Jacksonville.

Impact Boykin was among three Ravens receivers to play over 50 percent of the snaps Sunday. He answered the bell with an acrobatic catch in the end zone for his third touchdown of the season and second in his last three games. Boykin still isn't drawing much target volume despite seeing his playing time trend back in the right direction. He hasn't had more than three targets in any game since Week 4 against Washington. Boykin and the Ravens host the Giants in Week 16.

Moves off reserve/COVID-19 list Boykin was activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Ravens will have a relatively healthy receiving corps with Hollywood Brown, Boykin and Dez Bryant all eligible to play Sunday. As a result, it's hard to imagine Boykin seeing another 40-plus offensive snaps like he has in the previous two weeks.

DECEMBER 19, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Trending toward playing Sunday Coach John Harbaugh said Friday that Boykin is "on track" to be activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list for Sunday's game versus the Jaguars, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun re...

Impact Wide receivers Marquise Brown and James Proche received the same vote of confidence from Harbaugh. Boykin was listed as a close contact to an infected person, and as long as he continues to test negative, he'll be in the lineup for Sunday's AFC clash. Dez Bryant will also be back in the lineup, so Boykin could see his reps decrease after consecutive games with higher than a 70 percent snap share.

Could still play Sunday Boykin (undisclosed) could come off the reserve/COVID-19 list in time for Sunday's game against the Jaguars as long as he continues to test negative, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic r...

Impact Boykin won't be eligible to practice all week, however, which could impact his involvement in the Week 15 gameplan. The second-year pro has just two catches in his last five appearances, so even if he's available against Jacksonville he won't be on the fantasy radar in most formats.

DECEMBER 16, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on COVID-19 list Boykin (undisclosed) has been placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Impact Boykin's placement on the list means that he either tested positive for COVID-19 or has been in close contact with an infected person or persons. Also added to the list Wednesday were Marquise Brown and James Proche, a scenario that taxes the Ravens' wideout in advance of Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Sees one target Monday Boykin caught his lone target for a 15-yard gain in Monday's win over the Browns.

Impact Boykin's snap share has ticked back up in recent weeks, playing 87 percent of the snaps against the Cowboys in Week 13 and 70 percent of the snaps Monday. However, Boykin drew just one target and he rates very low among receivers in air yards per game (21.5) and air yards per snap (0.66). Boykin draws a favorable matchup against the Jaguars on Sunday but he remains behind at least three other Baltimore pass-catchers in the pecking order for targets.

DECEMBER 15, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Breaks off long score Tuesday night Boykin secured one of his three targets for a 38-yard touchdown during Tuesday's 34-17 win against Dallas.

Impact Boykin helped Baltimore immediately cash in on a Cowboys turnover, corralling his long score exactly one play after Andy Dalton provided rookie Patrick Queen with the first interception of his career. The 38-yard gain alone tied Boykin's single-game season high in receiving, while the score represented the 24-year-old's fifth over 28 NFL appearances. He had started five of Baltimore's past six games coming into Week 13, but with just 2.2 targets per contest on the season, Boykin remains a low-floor fantasy option.

Catchless in third straight Boykin wasn't targeted on any of his 18 offensive snaps Wednesday in the Ravens' 19-14 loss to the Steelers.

Impact For the third week in a row, Boykin failed to draw target while playing no more than a third of the team's snaps. Even with more reps up for grabs with Willie Snead (reserve/COVID-19 list) sitting out, Boykin still ranked a distant fourth in offensive snap share (33 percent) among Baltimore receivers, with Marquise Brown (78 percent), Devin Duvernay (76 percent) and Dez Bryant (59 percent) all comfortably ahead of him. Boykin's opportunities will likely only shrink further once Snead rejoins the wideout rotation.

DECEMBER 3, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

No targets Sunday Boykin wasn't targeted during Sunday's loss to the Titans.

Impact The 24-year-old played 15 offensive snaps and wasn't targeted for the second straight contest. Boykin clearly doesn't have an established role in the offense despite catching seven passes for 75 yards over the first two games of the season.

NOVEMBER 24, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Blanked from box score Boykin was held without a target on 19 snaps Sunday against the Patriots.

Impact The second-year receiver continues to struggle to make an impact. His snap count has fallen precipitously every week since Week 5 and his 29 percent snap share Sunday marked a season-low. Baltimore's offense is dysfunctional of late and has lost some key pieces to injury, which makes it difficult to see a path to fantasy relevance for Boykin when he is playing fewer and fewer snaps every week.

NOVEMBER 18, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Snap count dips again Boykin caught his only target for 11 yards during Sunday's 24-10 win over the Colts.

Impact Boykin played a season-low 36 percent of snaps Week 9. The second-year pro has yet to account for 40 receiving yards in a game this year, and he hasn't drawn five or more targets since Week 2. Boykin's role may only grow smaller in the weeks to come if the recently signed Dez Bryant stays healthy and proves deserving of more work.

NOVEMBER 11, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

First touchdown of 2020 Boykin caught two of three targets for 20 yards and a touchdown.

Impact The second-year receiver made his biggest impact of the season thus far, catching his first touchdown of 2020 to help keep pace with the Steelers early in the ball game. Boykin was otherwise ineffective, and his snap share continued to dip to a new season-low of 40 percent. The Ravens face Indianapolis on the road Sunday.
