News: 2 hours agoCoach Todd Monken said Monday that Boston will start working with the first-team offense in practice this week, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Spin: 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.

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.
