Outlook Denzel Boston

Denzel Boston vs. Pittsburgh — Rookie Deep Threat Offers Upside in Divisional Clash

The rookie wideout has quickly established himself as a starting outside receiver alongside Jerry Jeudy after making NFL history with 45-plus-yard scores in his first two games. Boston has drawn 15 targets over three contests, becoming a primary downfield target for Deshaun Watson, though the offense faces a tough divisional test with starting center Elgton Jenkins sidelined.

Our weekly projection estimates around 3.5 catches for 52 receiving yards against the Steelers. While his rostership has spiked to 90% following his explosive start, fantasy managers are starting him in roughly 27% of leagues, making him an upside flex option who carries weekly touchdown potential despite a projected low-scoring environment.

Outlook Ja'Marr Chase

Ja'Marr Chase vs. JAX — Primed for Fireworks in a High-Scoring Home Matchup

Chase remains Cincinnati's clear focal point on the perimeter and has caught fire over the last two weeks, securing 16 of 21 targets for 173 yards and three touchdowns. With slot receiver Andrei Iosivas sidelined, Chase and Tee Higgins should command virtually all high-value looks against a Jacksonville secondary that leans heavily into aggressive man coverage.

With a high game total setting up an uptempo environment, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats as a locked-in WR1. Our weekly projections target roughly six receptions for 69 yards and high touchdown probability (19.0 fantasy points) in what looks like a shootout.
