Denzel Boston

The Cleveland Browns have selected WR Denzel Boston with the No. 39 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Fantasy Impact

Boston becomes the second wide receiver taken by the Browns in the first two rounds of the 2026 Draft as they double up after selecting KC Concepcion in the first round Thursday. Boston is a much larger receiver (6-3, 212) out of Washington and led the Huskies in receiving yards last season. He did not run a 40-yard dash at the combine and doesn't display top speed to create separation. But, he does have excellent hands and he was very tough to bring down at the collegiate level. It's a little surprising that the Browns took another receiver with a need for offensive line help. But, Cleveland is looking for playmakers to improve the offense in 2026 and Boston should help with that as part of the receiver rotation.

The Panthers are hosting Washington WR Denzel Boston for a top-30 visit on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

Carolina holds the No. 19 pick as it looks to potentially add another wide receiver. Boston played for Jedd Fisch for his final two seasons in college, the same system that OROY Tetairoa McMillan played in under Fisch for two seasons at Arizona.

Washington WR Denzel Boston is making a top-30 visit with the Steelers.

Fantasy Impact

This was reported by ESPN’s Field Yates. Boston totaled 125 catches for 1,715 yards with 20 touchdowns the past two seasons at Washington. The Steelers hold the 21st pick in the 2026 draft later this month.
