News: 2 hours agoBoston brought in four of seven targets for 89 yards in the Browns' 27-24 win over the Steelers on Thursday.

Spin: The impressive start to Boston's NFL career continued Thursday, with the rookie second-round pick leading the Browns in receiving yards and tying for runner-up status with Quinshon Judkins in targets. The bulk of Boston's production came on an impressive 60-yard reception to kick off an early second-quarter possession that culminated in a Judkins two-yard touchdown run. Boston has quickly amassed a 13-284-2 line on 22 targets through his first four career games, affording him plenty of momentum heading into a Week 5 road matchup against the Jets on Sunday, Oct. 11.

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.
