News: 2 days agoBoston caught two passes on four targets for 59 yards and a touchdown during the Browns' 34-10 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.

Spin: 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.

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.
