Outlook Denzel Boston

Denzel Boston at Jacksonville — Rookie Starter Holds Intriguing Sleeper Appeal

Rookie Denzel Boston enters Week 1 listed as an outside starter alongside Jerry Jeudy on the Browns' depth chart. After impressing coaching staff throughout training camp to lock down first-team reps, the second-round pick is healthy and set to make his regular-season debut on the road in Jacksonville.

With Cleveland listed as 8.5-point underdogs, trailing game script could funnel extra throwing volume his way. Our weekly projection slots Boston for around 2.5 catches and 31 yards on roughly four targets. Currently started in just 1% of leagues, he remains a bench stash to monitor rather than an immediate lineup option.

Outlook Josh Downs

Josh Downs vs. Ravens — Sneaky Flex Appeal in High-Scoring Opener

Downs opens the season fully healthy and listed as the Colts' starting slot receiver alongside veteran newcomer Keenan Allen and Alec Pierce. With Daniel Jones under center, Downs is primed for reliable short-area work after putting his minor preseason calf strain behind him.

Despite being rostered in 88% of leagues, fantasy managers are starting him in just 12%, positioning him as an intriguing flex consideration. The matchup against Baltimore features plenty of shootout potential, and our models project around seven targets, five receptions, and 47 yards (12.1 fantasy points) for a dependable PPR floor.
