Fantasy Football Dynasty Rookie Draft Advice: Denzel Boston
The Browns needed to add more weapons for whichever signal-caller will be under center, whether that’s Deshaun Watson, Dillon Gabriel, or Shedeur Sanders. They drafted KC Concepcion in the first round and now add another big-bodied, contest-catch receiver in Boston. He’s the polar opposite of Concepcion, so they’ll complement each other well. It’ll be interesting to see where these players all line up, but one thing is for sure: Boston will be an outside receiver and a big red-zone target. The biggest issue with Boston is going to be the quarterback play; we still don’t know who that will be. Given his quarterback situation and competing with Concepcion, Jerry Jeudy, and Harold Fannin Jr. for targets, I’d take him at the top of the second round of dynasty leagues, but you could talk me into the last pick of the first round.

DBro’s NFL Draft Scouting Report & Player Comp: Denzel Boston
Scouting report:
- Boston is a prototypical tall, long-striding X receiver. His hips are a tad tight, but he compensates with solid footwork, allowing him to gear down and snap off the top of his stem well.
- His play strength is evident in his routes and at the catch point. Boston can deal with physical corners. It’s tough to push him off his route, and he has the upper body strength necessary to deal with press flashing, strong hand fighting, club, and rip.
- Boston’s fluidity above the rim is exquisite. His numbers in 2025 could have been even more robust with better quarterback play. Boston has an enormous catch radius with his combination of velcro hands and body control. He made his quarterback right a ton of times when the throw was wrong.
- Boston is a ball winner at the catch point with at least a 62.8% contested catch rate over the last two seasons. His hands are sound with 4.5% and 3.1% drop rates in that timeframe. Boston should be a red zone threat in the NFL from Day 1. He has numerous high-end reps near the goal line with fade routes on his 2025 film.
- Boston doesn’t have elite raw speed, but he’s fast enough to get the job done as a field stretcher with his route running, release package, and quick acceleration, giving him the ability to not only win in the short areas of the field but downfield as well. Boston has a varied release package and a good understanding of route adjustment and leverage. He might struggle to stack corners with elite speed, but he can still win at the catch point and with back shoulder targets.
