Denzel Boston vs. HOU at home — steady volume in a low-scoring matchup
Boston sat out Wednesday's practice with a toe issue, though the rookie receiver expects to play Sunday against Houston. Working as a starting wideout alongside Jerry Jeudy and KC Concepcion Jr., he has commanded 18 targets over the last two games. Fantasy managers should still check back for late-week updates on Boston's status, as well as quarterback Deshaun Watson, who is questionable with a concussion.
Rising trust has pushed Boston into 60% of starting lineups following a strong showing last week. Our models project around 60 receiving yards and 13 fantasy points on steady target volume, though breezy Cleveland weather and a low scoring total could cap big plays. Potential pass-heavy scripts as home underdogs still make him a solid flex option if active.

Outlook Austin Ekeler
Modest Committee Role Limits Upside in Rainy Matchup at Giants
Healthy and showing encouraging burst in his return from an Achilles injury, Ekeler operates in a shared workload behind Rachaad White while Jacory Croskey-Merritt remains on injured reserve. He has handled 16 carries across his last two games, though his receiving involvement has stayed minimal over that span.
Our models project roughly eight carries and 45 scrimmage yards on the road against the division-leading Giants, where moderate rain and a low-scoring game environment could limit red-zone trips. Despite a modest uptick in waiver interest, fantasy managers are starting him in just 4% of leagues, keeping this committee back on the bench outside of deep-league emergencies.
