Browns WR Denzel Boston caught 3 of 7 targets for 46 yards and a TD in Sunday’s 17-12 loss to the Jets. His longest catch went for 29 yards, and he averaged 15.3 yards per catch. The TD saved his day, giving him 13.6 PPR points. Boston played 62 of 68 snaps (91.2%) and led the team with 41 routes. Isaiah Bond (3-74) and Jerry Jeudy (3-19) each matched his 7 targets.
Browns WR Denzel Boston led the team with 89 yards on 4 receptions in Thursday night's win over the Steelers. The bulk of that damage came on a blown coverage in the second quarter that resulted in a 60-yard catch and run for the rookie. Boston's other catches went for 5, 9, and 15 yards. But he also had 3 other deep targets that didn't quite connect. Boston's 7 targets tied for second on the team and were a 21% share.
Browns WR Denzel Boston drew 7 targets in Sunday's win over the Buccaneers and finished with 5 catches for 95 yards and a TD. Most of his production came via a 55-yard TD late in the third quarter. Even that play sprang from a short target.
Cleveland's rookie receivers led the passing game in usage and production in Sunday's opener against Jacksonville. KC Concepcion paced the Browns in targets (5) and catches (4) while trailing only Denzel Boston in receiving yards (59 to 43). Boston tied for second on the team with 4 targets and caught just two of them, but one of those produced the team's lone TD from 46 yards out late in the fourth quarter. Boston and Concepcion also led the group in playing time, but the team's overall offensive performance bodes ill for everyone's fantasy upside.
Browns QB Shedeur Sanders comfortably out-played QB Deshaun Watson in Saturday's preseason game vs. the Bills. Sanders got the start and went 9-of-11 for 74 yards, 1 TD, and 1 INT across four possessions. He also took 1 sack on his 13 dropbacks. It was far from a flawless performance, but it was a lot better than QB Deshaun Watson's showing. He mustered just 36 yards with 0 TDs and 1 INT on 5-of-12 passing. The INT came on a bad throw and bad decision into traffic.
Browns WR Denzel Boston will start working with the first-team offense this week, HC Todd Monken said. Boston has had a strong start to camp by all accounts and is a good bet to open the season as one of Cleveland's top three WRs.
Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer reports that the Browns believe rookie WR Denzel Boston can make a similar impact to fellow rookie K.C. Concepcion. Boston was drafted 39th overall, only 15 picks after Concepcion. “Whereas Concepcion is the explosive, run-after-catch type, Boston is the big-bodied, outside-the-numbers genre,” Breer writes. “He’s already earned the trust of the team’s three quarterbacks, runs better than you’d expect of a guy his size and, coming out of the same college offense Tetairoa McMillan did a year ago, has drawn internal comparisons to the young Panthers star.”
Let’s just let ESPN Browns reporter Daniel Oyefusi deliver the primary info: “The Browns drafted wide receivers KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston in April, but no Cleveland wideout was targeted more than [Isaiah Bond] this spring.” That’s especially worth noting for two reasons:
Our prospect guru Shane Hallam deemed Bond a Round 4-5 prospect who “certainly could have been a Day 2 pick” with more college production. The Athletic’s Dane Brugler rated him a third-round talent and the No. 10 WR prospect in the class.
Bond went undrafted because he got arrested on sexual-assault allegations just two weeks before the draft. A Texas grand jury determined in August, though, that the case didn’t merit an indictment. Bond subsequently signed with Cleveland
The Cleveland Browns selected Washington WR Denzel Boston in the second round (Pick 39) of the 2026 NFL Draft. A three-star recruit out of Emerald Ridge High School in Tacoma, Boston stayed home at Washington. He spent his first two seasons buried behind Jalen McMillan, Rome Odunze, and Ja’Lynn Polk before stepping into the starting lineup as a junior. Once the opportunity arrived, the production followed. Boston posted near-identical stat lines across his final two seasons: 63-834-9 and 62-881-11. His underlying numbers popped in his final season, with his yards per catch (14.2), PFF receiving grade (87.2), and yards per route run (2.44) marking career highs. At 6’4, 212 pounds, Boston isn’t a burner but wins with route polish, ball tracking, and a proven ability to thrive in contested situations.
