Browns' Denzel Boston: Week 2 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Boston isn't going to be a consistent Fantasy option, but he does have the ability to make great plays. We saw that in Week 1 at Jacksonville when he scored a 46-yard touchdown, and he finished the game with two catches for 59 yards on four targets. Deshaun Watson will hold Boston and the entire Browns offense back from reaching their potential, but Boston is worth stashing in deeper leagues nonetheless. He should be added for 1 percent of your remaining FAAB.

Browns' Denzel Boston: Hauls in 46-yard TD in debut
Rotowire
Boston caught two passes on four targets for 59 yards and a touchdown during the Browns' 34-10 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.
It wasn't until the third play of the fourth quarter that Boston made his first NFL catch, a 13-yard pass from Deshaun Watson, before the duo connected on a 46-yard touchdown pass on the first play following the two-minute warning. Boston finished Sunday's game as the Browns' leader in receiving yards while fellow rookie KC Concepcion led the team in catches (four) and targets (five). There figures to be some growing pains for the Browns' offense this season given the amount of young talent. Cleveland will stay on the road for a Week 2 matchup against Tampa Bay on Sept. 20.

Browns' Denzel Boston: Gets first-team billing on depth chart
Rotowire
Boston is listed as a starting wide receiver along with veteran Jerry Jeudy and 2026 first-round pick KC Concepcion on the Browns' unofficial depth chart.
The 39th overall pick in the 2026 Draft, Boston combined for one catch (on two targets) for 15 yards on 37 offensive snaps between his two appearances during the preseason. The output was nothing to write home about, but he appears set to be one of starting QB Deshaun Watson's key pass catchers to begin the campaign.

Browns' Denzel Boston: Goes untargeted in second preseason game
Rotowire
Boston went without a target while playing 11 snaps on offense Saturday in the Browns' 31-7 preseason loss to the Bills.
After drawing two targets in the Browns' preseason opener a week earlier against the Bears and connecting with Deshaun Watson on a nifty 15-yard catch and run, Boston was held quiet in his limited snaps during the second exhibition game. Notably, Jerry Jeudy and KC Concepcion were both rested Saturday while Boston played, which suggests that the rookie second-round pick out of Washington currently sits no higher than third on the depth chart.

Browns' Denzel Boston: Will start working with starters
Rotowire
Coach Todd Monken said Monday that Boston will start working with the first-team offense in practice this week, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Specifically, Monken said Boston will work as the "boundary" receiver on the outside, allowing Jerry Jeudy to move around the formation more. By all accounts, Boston has been a standout at Browns camp and has earned the increased reps with the starters. His insertion with the ones is likely to hurt Cedric Tillman the most, as Tillman is a holdover from the previous coaching staff and has been mentioned in trade rumors this offseason. Boston appears to be a riser up fantasy draft boards headed into the preseason.

Browns' Denzel Boston: Standing out at camp
Rotowire
Boston and KC Concepcion have made a strong impression at training camp, looking like the "best receivers on the field," according to SI.com's Nick Pedone.
It's only one week into training camp, and Cleveland's veteran wide receivers aren't exactly an impressive bunch. Still, it's better to hear this than the opposite if you're invested in Boston's success. The rookie second-round pick reportedly has been particularly impressive at hauling in jump balls and other contested catches, reflecting the positives from his pre-draft scouting report. It remains to be seen how much playing time Boston and Concepcion get come Week 1.

Browns' Denzel Boston: Had impressive spring
Rotowire
According to Zac Jackson of The Athletic, Boston "might have been the most impressive offensive player in the (Browns') spring sessions."
Once training camp gets going next month, the pecking order in the team's revamped WR corps will start to become clearer. While Jerry Jeudy remains Cleveland's No. 1 option at the position, Boston -- who was the 39th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft -- has a chance to make an immediate mark as an outside receiver, while fellow rookie KC Concepcion (24th overall choice) figures to line up all over the formation. Also in the mix are Cedric Tillman, Isaiah Bond and Tylan Wallace, but a strong summer on Boston's part could help him earn enough playing time out of the gate to yield fantasy dividends in deeper formats.

Browns' Denzel Boston: Picked by Browns
Rotowire
The Browns selected Boston in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 39th overall.
Boston (6-foot-4, 212 pounds) has the build to impose physicality and reach from the boundary, where he did big damage especially as a downfield and red-zone jump-ball target at Washington. That Boston declined to run a 40-yard dash before the draft invites the suspicion that he might lack the long speed to regularly push downfield at the NFL level, but if he can keep winning on jump balls in the intermediate and end zone then that might be enough for Boston to prove a quality WR2 in the NFL. It might not be easy for Boston to immediately displace Cedric Tillman as the primary big wideout in Cleveland, but in the long term it's expected that Boston and 24th overall pick KC Concepcion should top the Browns' depth chart at wideout.
