Fantasy Life Articles on Denzel Boston
From the article
Rookie wide receivers flashing early in their first NFL action are the type of waiver wire pickups I want to pursue the most aggressively, and Denzel Boston is no exception... In Week 1, he had an average depth of route (ADOR) of 13.6, and an absolutely absurd ADOT of 29... In Week 2, we saw a major shift toward more dependable production—his ADOR dropped from 13.6 to 10.9 and his ADOT down to 9.4.
STACKED’s take
Boston's improving route depth (ADOT 29→9.4) and 81st-percentile profile make him the priority WR pickup.
Denzel Boston is a rookie wide receiver flashing early in his first NFL action, and the source wants to pursue him aggressively on waivers. While both Cleveland rookie WRs (Concepcion and Boston) have shown promise, Boston's role feels more like a real wide receiver. Through two weeks, Boston has 59.5% air yards (1st among all WRs), 2.44 YPRR (WR23), and 10.7 expected fantasy points (WR35). Coming out of Washington, Boston was an 81st percentile WR in the source's model. Importantly, his usage is trending positively: in Week 1 he had an ADOR of 13.6 and ADOT of 29 (boom/bust deep-threat role), but in Week 2 his ADOR dropped to 10.9 and ADOT to 9.4, suggesting a shift toward more dependable production. If this usage trend holds, the source feels solid about his upside down the stretch.
