Denzel Boston at Pittsburgh: Volatile Flex Test in Low-Scoring AFC North Battle

Boston continues to serve as Cleveland's primary outside receiver alongside Jerry Jeudy, seeing steady downfield opportunities in the passing attack. Over his past two outings, the rookie wideout commanded 13 targets, though low-efficiency connections netted just four catches for 42 yards. Still, his big-play ability keeps him integral to Deshaun Watson's weekly game plan.

Heading on the road into Pittsburgh for a divisional battle featuring a low projected total, Boston is a boom-or-bust WR3 or flex option. While rostered in over 93% of leagues, fantasy managers have grown cautious, starting him in just 41% of lineups. Our models project roughly 11.4 fantasy points on three catches for 51 yards, leaving him dependent on hitting a splash play.

Outlook KC Concepcion

KC Concepcion at Pittsburgh — Rookie slot weapon looks to keep momentum rolling

After overcoming a mid-October concussion, Concepcion has quickly established himself as a dynamic playmaker in Cleveland's offense. Operating as the primary slot receiver alongside Jerry Jeudy and Denzel Boston, the rookie erupted for eight receptions and 129 yards on 10 targets in his last outing. His expanding involvement in both the short passing game and occasional rushing packages has propelled his roster ownership up to 85%.

For Week 8's divisional showdown against the 5–2 Steelers, our weekly projection forecasts Concepcion for around 10.6 fantasy points on roughly 4 catches and 48 receiving yards. While a modest game total signals a potential low-scoring defensive slugfest, his steady target floor and run-after-catch ability make him a viable Flex option whose lineup start rate is rapidly rising.
