Denzel Boston just found the end zone *again* in Week 5 against the New York Jets, putting up a touchdown as part of his three receptions for 46 yards on seven targets. This rookie wideout is absolutely making a statement, especially after fellow rookie KC Concepcion went down early in the first quarter with a head injury, forcing Boston to step up big time.
Boston’s Red Zone Hot Streak Is Undeniable
Let’s talk about that touchdown, because it’s not a fluke. Boston now has a touchdown in three of his first five NFL games. That’s a ridiculous pace for a rookie, especially when you consider the overall situation. He’s clearly got a knack for finding the end zone, and he’s showing up when his team needs him. Three scores in five games? That’s the kind of production that makes you perk up and pay attention.
Can He Overcome the Cleveland Offense?
Despite the impressive early scoring, the word out there is to still temper expectations a bit, at least for fantasy purposes, treating him more as a WR4 or flex option. Why? Because the Cleveland passing attack is being called “mediocre.” It means Boston is producing *despite* the environment, which honestly makes his early success even more impressive. Can he continue to be a bright spot in what’s otherwise a struggling aerial game? That’s the real question going forward. Keep an eye on this kid, he’s showing flashes that are just too good to ignore.
