Denzel Boston at Tennessee — High-Upside Flex Option in Low-Scoring Environment

Denzel Boston enters Week 7 fully healthy and established as a primary outside receiver on Cleveland's depth chart alongside Jerry Jeudy. The rookie has developed immediate chemistry with quarterback Deshaun Watson, leading all first-year receivers with 345 receiving yards and three touchdowns through six games. While his target volume dipped slightly over the past two weeks, Boston remains the team's premier downfield weapon.

Facing a 1-5 Titans team on the road, Cleveland is favored in a projected defensive grind. Our weekly projection lands Boston at 11.5 fantasy points on roughly 6.6 targets and 57 receiving yards. While the modest projected game total slightly caps overall offensive volume, his explosive big-play profile keeps him firmly in play as an upside Flex option.

Outlook Michael Mayer

Michael Mayer vs. Rams — Streamer Upside in High-Scoring Environment

Michael Mayer is coming off a career-high 95-yard performance against Buffalo, proving he can produce despite operating behind Brock Bowers on the depth chart. Working primarily in two-tight-end sets for Kirk Cousins, Mayer's recent spike in usage has pushed his roster rate up to 40% across fantasy leagues.

In a matchup with shootout potential against the Rams, our projections slate Mayer for 3.3 receptions, 29.2 receiving yards, and 7.1 fantasy points. While his weekly floor remains volatile in a secondary role, his recent target volume makes him an appealing streaming candidate and deep-league flex option.
