Denzel Boston Fantasy Stats

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Denzel Boston (toe) is expected to play in Sunday's Week 10 contest against the Houston Texans, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com. He had been listed as questionable after missing two practices and upgrading to a limited participant on Friday. The 23-year-old rookie had cooled off for a little while, but he did have an impressive bounce-back performance (six catches for 98 yards) last week with Shedeur Sanders as his quarterback. Deshaun Watson returns to the starting quarterback role this week, and it remains to be seen whether Boston will be able to pick up where he left off. At the very least, he's still worth starting as a strong WR3/flex with high-end WR2 upside. After all, his involvement has never wavered, as he has logged 7+ targets in five of his last six games.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Denzel Boston (toe) is questionable for Week 10's contest against the Houston Texans, but has a good matchup if he is able to work through the injury and suit up for the home game. Boston is coming off of a solid game in Week 9's overtime loss to the New Orleans Saints when he caught six passes for 98 receiving yards on seven targets. Boston, the rookie out of Washington, hauled in a 60-yard deep ball that he nearly scored on. He averages 15.8 yards per reception and has emerged as the deep passing threat in the Browns passing attack. Boston had a good game with Shedeur Sanders at quarterback but with Deshaun Watson returning, Boston has had a nice rapport with the normal starter throughout the season. The Texans passing defense is near the bottom of the NFL, ranking No. 27 overall and allowing 235.6 passing yards per game with 12 passing touchdowns allowed. Boston, should he play, will matchup with Derek Stingley Jr. or Kamari Lassiter at cornerback. Both are talented players but have allowed some big numbers this year to wide receivers. If Boston can go in Week 10, look for him to continue his role as the deep target for the Browns and find at least one big catch throughout the game. Keep an eye on whether the Browns activate Boston and if they do, he should be in your lineup.

Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Denzel Boston (toe) returned to practice on Friday but is listed as questionable to play in Week 10 on Sunday against the hosting Houston Texans, according to Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN. Head coach Todd Monken said that Boston "moved around pretty good" in practice on Friday and is "trending in the right way" to play this weekend. The 22-year-old second-rounder from Washington picked up a toe injury in the Week 9 overtime loss to the New Orleans Saints last weekend and missed the first two practices of the week. His injury was downplayed earlier in the week, though, and the young pass-catcher appears to be on the right side of questionable for Week 10 action. In last week's loss to the Saints, Boston had six catches on seven targets for a season-high 98 receiving yards while working with quarterback Shedeur Sanders for the first time all year. The move back to Deshaun Watson under center this week after he missed Week 9 due to a concussion could be a concern for Boston's fantasy managers, as well as the less-than-appealing matchup against Houston's defense. Boston has a nice 32-507-3 line in his first nine NFL games, but he could be a boom/bust WR2/3 against the Texans if he is active on Sunday.

Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Denzel Boston (toe) returned to practice on Friday after missing the first two sessions of the week with a toe injury. Fantasy managers will need to monitor the team's official injury report for his level of participation, but his mere presence is an encouraging sign for his Week 10 availability. The 2026 second-round pick ranks first among rookie wide receivers by both receiving yards and touchdowns, and he once again makes for a strong flex play if he's able to suit up against a Texans defense that has been surprisingly vulnerable to outside receivers. With starting quarterback Deshaun Watson already confirmed as the Week 10 starter after missing the team's previous game with a concussion, Boston is RotoBaller's WR25.

Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Denzel Boston (toe) was not present for practice for the second straight day on Thursday, according to Mark Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer. The Browns were hoping that Boston would return to the practice field after sitting out on Wednesday, and it was even reported that his toe was feeling better, but he will put in a second straight DNP, which means he will need to practice in some capacity on Friday to avoid being ruled out altogether for the Week 10 game on Sunday against the visiting Houston Texans. The 22-year-old Boston has been a solid contributor across from fellow rookie KC Concepcion Jr. in his first year in the NFL, catching 32 passes for 507 yards and three touchdowns through nine games, including a season-high 98 receiving yards in the overtime loss to the New Orleans Saints in Week 9 while working with quarterback Shedeur Sanders for the first time. If Boston is not able to gain clearance to play this weekend, Concepcion, Jerry Jeudy, and tight end Harold Fannin Jr. would have bigger pass-catching roles against Houston, with QB Deshaun Watson returning to the starting job after missing last week with a concussion. Check back on Friday for Boston's official Week 10 status.

Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Denzel Boston (toe) said his toe is feeling better, and he is hoping he can practice on Thursday, according to Scott Petrak of The Elyria Chronicle-Telegram. Boston was held out of the first practice of the week on Wednesday, but if the 22-year-old gets back onto the field a day later, he will be putting himself in a good spot to be ready to play on Sunday in the Week 10 tilt against the visiting Houston Texans. The second-rounder from the University of Washington played 93% of the offensive snaps in Sunday's overtime loss to the New Orleans Saints and caught six of his seven targets for a season-high 98 yards, with Shedeur Sanders making his first start under center for the Browns. Boston's status is worth watching going into the weekend, because if he does not play, veteran Jerry Jeudy could be a sneaky deep-league flex play with Deshaun Watson returning from a concussion that knocked him out last weekend. Boston and fellow rookie KC Concepcion Jr. have quickly become the team's top two wideouts this year, with Boston catching 32 of his 61 targets for 507 yards and three touchdowns through the first nine weeks.

Updating a previous report, Cleveland Browns head coach Todd Monken expects rookie wide receiver Denzel Boston (toe) to return to the practice field on Thursday, according to Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN. Boston is not expected to practice on Wednesday in the team's first session of the week, but the 22-year-old's toe injury does not appear to be serious enough to sideline him this weekend against the Houston Texans. The second-rounder out of the University of Washington caught six of his seven targets for a season-high 98 yards in Sunday's overtime loss to the New Orleans Saints in second-year quarterback Shedeur Sanders' first start of the season in place of Deshaun Watson (concussion). Boston has had a strong showing so far in his first nine NFL games, catching 32 of his 61 targets for 507 yards and three touchdowns, but he has not found the end zone since the Oct. 11 loss to the New York Jets, and his fantasy value could take a hit in Week 10 against the Texans with Watson returning to the starting role for the Browns. As long as Boston is active this weekend, he should be on the WR2/3 borderline in fantasy.

Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Denzel Boston (toe) is not expected to participate in the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday, according to Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN. A DNP in the first practice of the week is notable with a new injury for the first-year receiver, but the 22-year-old still has two more days to get back on the practice field. We will keep a close eye on Boston's status over the next couple of days. If he is unable to play this weekend against the Houston Texans, fellow rookie pass-catcher KC Concepcion Jr. would essentially become a must-play flex option in fantasy lineups, with veteran Jerry Jeudy also becoming more intriguing as a deep-league flex. Boston caught six of his seven targets for 98 yards in Sunday's overtime loss to the New Orleans Saints in Week 9, and he now has a 32-507-3 line in the first nine games of his NFL career. The 98 yards he had on Sunday were a new season high, but Boston has not found the end zone since Oct. 11, and he has only one game with double-digit targets so far. The Browns' move back to quarterback Deshaun Watson (concussion) this weekend probably hurts Boston's short-term value.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Denzel Boston looks like a promising fantasy play in Week 9 at the New Orleans Saints. Boston will look to develop some chemistry with Shedeur Sanders, who is starting at quarterback over Deshaun Watson. Boston was targeted 12 times in the Week 8 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers and caught six passes for 37 receiving yards. The yards per catch were much lower than the norm for Boston who had established himself as a big-play wide receiver with Watson throwing him passes. Boston still averages 15.7 yards per catch this season and has 26 catches for 409 yards and three receiving touchdowns. Boston hasn't caught a touchdown pass in his last three outings and will look to find the end zone with Sanders throwing him the ball. He has a nice matchup with the Saints pass defense that is near the bottom of the league. Saints starting cornerbacks Kool-Aid McKinstry and Martin Emerson Jr. are beatable and Boston will be looking for a big play or two out of the hands of Sanders. Fantasy managers should start Boston with confidence.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Denzel Boston (calf) was listed as a limited participant in practice on Wednesday, according to Scott Petrak of the Chronicle-Telegram. This injury wasn't previously reported, so it could be something that he picked up during the game on Sunday, but it wasn't enough to force him out of the contest. With that being said, it's also possible that he suffered the injury in practice on Wednesday. Either way, managers will definitely want to check back after the Browns practice again. His status on Thursday will provide a strong indication of whether he's trending toward playing in Week 9 against the New Orleans Saints. If active, Boston would rank as a WR3 with a high ceiling. He generated some Offensive Rookie of the Year buzz at the start of the season, but he has since cooled off significantly with just 10 catches, 79 yards, and zero touchdowns over his last three games. Further complicating his outlook is the Browns' quarterback situation, as Shedeur Sanders is expected to draw the start with Deshaun Watson in concussion protocol.
