Tim Boyle Fantasy

The Detroit Lions are re-signing quarterback Tim Boyle to a one-year, $2 million deal that includes $1.75 million guaranteed on Monday, according to sources. Boyle can earn another $500,000 in incentives. The 27-year-old started three games for the Lions last year when Jared Goff was unavailable, and he threw three touchdowns and six interceptions in five total appearances in 2021. He will return in 2022 as Goff's backup, but he won't carry much fantasy appeal if he gets another shot at the starting gig. In 16 career games over three NFL seasons, Boyle has thrown for 541 yards on 98 attempts with three touchdowns and six interceptions.

Detroit Lions quarterback Tim Boyle completed 24-of-34 passes for 184 yards, one touchdown and one interception in the Lions 20-16 loss to the Falcons in Week 16. Starting quarterback Jared Goff was unable to return in time in this game from the Covid-list and Boyle provided a typical backup-QB-type performance. It is likely Boyle will head back to the bench once Goff is cleared for next week's action.

Detroit Lions quarterback Tim Boyle would get the start under center Sunday vs. the Falcons if Jared Goff is unable to come off the Reserve/COVID-19 list in time. Head coach Dan Campbell conceded Friday that it was unlikely that Goff would suit up for Week 16, paving the way for Boyle to make his second professional start. The first was a bumpy ride, as he threw for just 77 yards and two interceptions against Cleveland back in Week 11. Boyle would get the nod over David Blough, who has not started since 2019 when he made five starts for the Lions. Either way, pass-catching options such as Amon-Ra St. Brown and Kalif Raymond (shoulder) are now in a tricky spot, as the Detroit offense has struggled all season, even with Goff under center. Boyle can be avoided in all season-long formats.
