Overview
- Boston broke out in Week 2 with five catches for 95 yards and a 55-yard touchdown, and he played 93 percent of Cleveland’s offensive snaps in that game.
- Through two games he leads the Browns in routes run and has 11 targets, seven receptions, 154 yards and two touchdowns, marking rapid early integration into the offense.
- Local beat writers gave high grades for his physical route running, reliable hands and playmaking on contested throws and long gains.
- Reporters said the NFL nominated Boston for Rookie of the Week after his Week 2 showing, and multiple fantasy outlets immediately pushed him as a priority waiver or Week 3 streamer.
- Boston’s rise has short-term implications for the Browns’ quarterback picture because his chemistry with Deshaun Watson may have strengthened Watson’s hold on the starter’s job and could shape lineup choices and usage down the depth chart.
