Denzel Boston Week 5 Outlook - Browns at Jets

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 8th 2026, 1:35pm EDT

Denzel Boston is the WR20 in fantasy points per game, while commanding an 18.3% target share with 2.39 YPRR, three red zone targets, seven deep targets, and a 22.5% first-read share (second on the team). Boston has excelled so far this season, ranking 17th in separation and YPRR while sitting at seventh in route win rate among 77 qualifying receivers. This week, he'll tangle with a Jets' secondary that has the fifth-highest two-high rate (62.2%). Against two-high, Boston leads the team with a 21% target-per-route run rate against two-high while logging 4.47 YPRR. This is a tougher matchup for Boston, but I think he can overcome it. The Jets have allowed the tenth-fewest yards per target to perimeter wide receivers while ranking 15th in fantasy points per opportunity allowed to the position.
