Monken: Boston to begin working with first-team

Denzel Boston

CLE Wide Receiver

Player Stats

Browns HC Todd Monken said Denzel Boston will begin working with the first-team offense on Monday.

It’s been an impressive few weeks of camp for Boston, who has flashed on several occasions since things got underway. The rookie second-rounder has made enough of an impression to begin working with the first-team offense ahead of the team’s first preseason game, which suggests he is well on his way to solidifying an early role in the offense. While the Browns’ quarterback situation leaves much to be desired, Boston could end up having a solid fantasy floor in his rookie season under Monken. Both he and fellow rookie KC Concepcion are intriguing later-round picks in redraft leagues this season.

Denzel Boston

CLE Wide Receiver

Denzel Boston caught 6-of-7 targets for 98 yards in the Browns’ Week 9 loss to the Saints.

Like clockwork, Boston beat his man for a massive play again this week. Boston plucked a deep ball right off Kool-Aid McKinstry’s helmet and ran inside the five-yard line for a 60-yard gain early in the third quarter. It was his league-leading fourth catch of 40+ yards this year. Despite operating as a deep threat, Boston went on to lead the Browns in all receiving categories except touchdowns. Boston continues to look like a high-end boundary receiver in the mold of Tee Higgins or Mike Evans. While he’s got a long way to go to match those players, the early returns have been promising. Boston will remain a high-ceiling WR3 when he takes on the Texans next week.
KC Concepcion

CLE Wide Receiver #1

KC Concepcion caught 4-of-6 targets for 85 yards and a touchdown in the Browns’ Week 9 loss to the Saints.

Concepcion’s day appeared to be over late in the third quarter when he limped off the field with a non-contact injury. Concepcion was unable to put any weight on his leg and needed to be helped off the field by trainers. He was then on the field to return a punt ahead of Cleveland’s next drive. The rookie made it stunningly clear that he was fine in the fourth quarter with a 64-yard receiving touchdown. Sanders hit him for a long gain and Concepcion outran two Saints defenders for his first career touchdown. With 221 receiving yards over his past three games, Concepcion is heating up just in time for the fantasy playoff hunt. He will be in the WR3 mix versus the Texans next week.

CLE Wide Receiver

Denzel Boston (calf) was removed from the injury report and will play in Week 9 against the Saints.

Boston will once again play through a lower-body injury. The rookie downfield wide receiver has played unproductively as of late, but he remains a threat to rip off a long gain. He will be catching passes from Shedeur Sanders this weekend. Hopefully, the two form a strong connection quickly.
Denzel Boston

CLE Wide Receiver

Denzel Boston (calf) was limited on Thursday.

Boston is on track to face the Saints this week, but lower-body injuries have limited his production since Week 4. The Browns are also likely to have Shedeur Sanders under center, adding an unknown variable to the mix as the two players hone their chemistry. Boston is likely just a boom-bust FLEX.
Denzel Boston

CLE Wide Receiver

Denzel Boston (calf) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

A limited designation for the first practice of the week is usually nothing to worry about. We’ll assume as much for now. Boston has been racking up targets and air yards without much to show for it in his box scores over the past month. He hasn’t eclipsed 50 yards in a game since Week 4. A date with New Orleans’ struggling defense should help him get back on track as a WR3 for Week 9.
Denzel Boston

CLE Wide Receiver

Denzel Boston caught 6-of-11 targets for 37 yards in the Browns’ Week 8 loss to the Steelers.

The good news is that Boston’s route tree wasn’t limited to deep shots, but the bad news is that the production did not follow. The rookie was second on the team in targets, played the most snaps, and ran the second-most routes of any receiver, but the Browns’ passing attack could never get going. Boston was close to a bigger day after he made a great one-handed catch in the end zone, but he could only get one foot in bounds. He’ll continue to be a boom-or-bust option but has a chance to boom against the Saints next week.
KC Concepcion

CLE Wide Receiver #1

KC Concepcion caught 3-of-4 targets for 37 yards in the Browns’ Week 8 loss to the Steelers.

Deshaun Watson threw for 324 yards, but almost all of those were to tight ends and running backs. Concepcion did have a nice gain of 24 yards on one catch but was rarely involved apart from that. He did play 55 of the team’s 67 snaps and run a route on 44 of their 49 dropbacks, so the role is great, but the offense and quarterback play will likely keep him an inconsistent fantasy option.
Denzel Boston

CLE Wide Receiver

Denzel Boston caught 3-of-8 targets for 25 yards in the Browns’ Week 7 win against the Titans.

Boston was third in targets among Browns pass catchers and saw lots and lots of air yards from Deshaun Watson, who nearly connected with Boston for two long touchdowns on the day. So it goes with a high-variance downfield option like Boston, who now has three straight quiet outings. With a 45 percent air yards share headed into Week 7, Boston will certainly have his big box scores in the coming weeks. Predicting when that might happen will be tough for fantasy managers. He should be a flex play in Week 8 against the Steelers.
KC Concepcion

CLE Wide Receiver #1

KC Concepcion caught 8-of-10 targets for 129 yards in the Browns’ Week 7 win against the Titans, adding three rushes for 23 yards.

The Browns slot man shredded the Tennessee secondary from start to finish. Coming into the game with a season-high of 64 receiving yards, Concepcion eclipsed that mark in the second quarter and didn’t look back. He continually shed tacklers against a low-effort Titans defense and functioned as the centerpiece of the Cleveland passing game. He led the Browns in targets, mostly seeing designed short-area throws from Deshaun Watson. In a Browns offense with a top-10 neutral pass rate, Concepcion should be a weekly top-36 option in PPR formats. He’ll get the Steelers in Week 8.
Denzel Boston

CLE Wide Receiver

Denzel Boston (foot) is not on Cleveland’s final Week 7 injury report.

He’ll be on the WR3 line in a good matchup against the Titans. Boston finally had a clunker last week against Baltimore, but he’s been remarkably consistent otherwise and should find easier footing against Tennessee’s rough back seven.

Ravens released TE Nick Vannett.

Rams signed WR Xavier Smith off the 49ers’ practice squad.

With all the injuries at wide receiver, the Rams decide to bring back a familiar face in Xavier Smith in lieu of trading for a receiver. Smith was on the 49ers’ practice squad after the Rams waived him earlier this season. He caught 18 passes for 303 yards for the Rams last year, seeing the bulk of his opportunities as kick returner. Smith figures to operate as receiving depth with special teams utility once again.

Not the Rams wideout we thought we’d be placing on injured reserve today. Whittington is, nevertheless, another hit to the depth of this wideout corps. It appears to be all systems clear for Konata Mumpfield to be the No. 1 wideout who is tasked with watching Los Angeles’ running backs in Week 10.

Falcons acquired G Andrew Vorhees and a 2028 sixth-round pick from the Ravens for C Ryan Neuzil.

Vorhees, in the final year of his rookie contract, appears to just be in this trade as salary ballast. He struggled in a large sample in 2025 and even with injuries to the interior line in 2026 has only received 81 snaps. The Falcons may opt to turn to Corey Levin as their starter at center rather than Vorhees.
