Outlook Denzel Boston
Denzel Boston steps into starting lineup with intriguing rookie upside
The second-round rookie has earned a starting perimeter receiver spot on Cleveland's depth chart alongside veteran Jerry Jeudy and fellow rookie KC Concepcion following an eye-opening training camp. With Deshaun Watson under center and Jamari Thrash sidelined, Boston enters the week healthy and positioned to run meaningful routes right out of the gate.
Despite his promotion to the first-team offense, fantasy managers are taking a wait-and-see approach, with Boston rostered in 39% of leagues but started in just 1%. Our weekly projection pegs him for about 2.6 receptions, 32 receiving yards, and 6.8 fantasy points, making him an intriguing bench stash rather than a recommended starter for lineups.

Outlook Chris Rodriguez
Chris Rodriguez Week 1 Outlook Against Cleveland
Rodriguez enters the opener healthy as Jacksonville's direct backup running back behind Bhayshul Tuten. While Rodriguez was managed through a foot issue earlier this summer, he carries no designation heading into Sunday. Keep tabs on the backfield status before kickoff, as Tuten has recently been battling an illness, potentially opening the door for Rodriguez to see expanded rotational work if the starter is at all limited.
Rostered in 60% of leagues but started in only 2%, Rodriguez remains primarily an insurance stash. Our weekly projection expects around 8 carries and 37 rushing yards, translating to 6.6 fantasy points against the Browns. With minimal expected pass-game involvement, he should remain on fantasy benches this week unless unexpected backfield news creates an immediate volume opportunity.
