News: 2 days agoBoston went without a target while playing 11 snaps on offense Saturday in the Browns' 31-7 preseason loss to the Bills.

Spin: 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.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Boston was selected by the Browns in the second round of April's draft. He is a big receiver with terrific ball skills and touchdown-scoring upside. He's not the fastest, but that didn't stop him from producing 62-plus receptions, 830-plus yards and nine-plus TDs during both of his seasons as a starter at Washington. He handled 45% of his team's air yards in 2025 (highest in this rookie class). Boston dropped only four of 209 career targets (1.9% drop rate is fourth best in this WR class) and has the look of a reliable possession receiver. He'll begin his career battling Jerry Jeudy, Harold Fannin Jr. and fellow rookie KC Concepcion for targets in a Cleveland offense yet to sort out its quarterback situation. Boston is a fine late-round-upside flier.
