Yahoo Sports NFL on Denzel Boston
From the article
Boston is the downfield target Deshaun Watson looks for when Cleveland needs a big play. His 20.6 yards per catch leads the league, and the Browns have called him one of their go-to options in the passing game.
STACKED’s take
Boston's 20.6 yards per catch and downfield role exploit Baltimore's weak secondary.
Boston is the ceiling play for managers choosing a flex. The rookie has 330 receiving yards and three touchdowns through five games, with seven targets in three of those games turning into meaningful yardage (59, 95, 41, 89, and 46 yards by week). Baltimore has given up 593 receiving yards to wideouts on downfield throws, the third-most in the league. Boston's production has come with big plays, including touchdowns in Weeks 1, 2, and 5. His 20.6 yards per catch leads the league, and the Browns have called him one of their go-to options in the passing game. The source is not waiting for the Browns to become a high-volume passing offense; Boston already has the role and the explosive plays to matter on the targets he gets. Assuming Boston is ready to go after being limited in practice this week with a foot injury, the source is putting him in their flex spot.
