Best and worse case projections for Browns' Denzel Boston
Here's the floor and ceiling projects for Denzel Boston in his rookie year.
The Cleveland Browns have chosen Washington wide receiver Denzel Boston in the 39th overall pick of the 2026 NFL Draft. This selection was somewhat surprising, given that they had already drafted KC Concepcion in the 24th spot. However, it appears that the Browns may have made the right decision, as both Boston and Concepcion have performed well in preseason games.
Draft analyst Lance Zierlein from NFL.com has provided best- and worst-case scenarios for Boston's rookie season. In the best-case scenario, Boston would rapidly become the go-to target for the team, playing consistently well at all levels of the field. In contrast, the worst-case scenario involves inconsistent quarterback performance and difficulty separating himself from press coverage, resulting in a disappointing first year with only one touchdown and fewer than 500 receiving yards despite a high snap count.
Boston's projected stats for the season are 52 catches for 681 yards and 5 touchdowns, which would be considered a solid rookie season. However, it will be essential for Boston to earn targets throughout the season, as there are already other talented receivers like Concepcion, Jerry Jeudy, and Harold Fannin Jr. competing for playing time. The Browns' front office seems confident in selecting Boston with their second-round pick.
