Verdict: We like Tyler Boyd but can't look past a fit and healthy Gabe Davis for fantasy football. Davis is an absolute tank with the ball, as the 6' 3", 212 pounds wide receiver has the body of a running back.

What's more, he is fast and versatile, and he's covering 27.4 yards per run. He is only going to get better and better, and thankfully it looks like his injury woes are well and truly behind him. The games are coming thick and fast, and Davis is our choice moving forward.

Why Gabe Davis is a better fantasy pick than Tyler Boyd

Any wide receiver getting balls from Josh Allen has an instant advantage. The craftiness of the Bulls' quarterback opens new pockets of space for his wide receivers and running backs.

Davis is a key beneficiary, and coupled with his ability, it makes him one of the highest-scoring second options in the league.

On the other hand, Boyd has two top-notch wide receivers ahead of him at Cincinnati, with one of them being a constant presence in the top three receivers at his position. As such, Boyd isn't likely to be getting a lot of targets in the coming week.

For these reasons, Davis is a better fantasy pick than Tyler Boyd, as targets matter in the NFL Fantasy Football League. Even more important is what you do with your targets, and it's pretty clear that Davis does not miss.
