Fantasy Football Player Notes

KC Concepcion has the talent to be Cleveland's clear WR1 this season. Where he's priced in drafts, all of the risk of bad quarterback play and Denzel Boston and Harold Fannin Jr. competing with him for the team target lead is priced in. The upside if he is the true WR1 isn't. Concepcion is a receiver that can threaten a defense at all three levels while also making things happen after the catch with the ball in his hands. In two of his last three collegiate seasons, he ranked top 35 in FBS in YAC per reception (26th, 33rd, per PFF). In 2023, Concepcion was 17th in missed tackles forced among FBS wide receivers. He's a wonderful late-round dart to toss in every format. Hell, draft him, and Boston, considering the cost and cut the player who is lagging behind in target share by Week 4.

Denzel Boston was a baller in college. In his final season, he had the fifth-best contested catch rate (min ten contested targets) among FBS wide receivers while also posting 2.44 yards per route run. He finished college with a 79th percentile college dominator and an 86th percentile collegiate target share. Boston will compete with KC Concepcion and Harold Fannin Jr. for the team lead in targets in 2026. The worries about the quarterback play in Cleveland and the certainty that other players will out-target him are pushing Boston down the board. Boston could easily be the Browns' WR1 after we flip over the cards for the 2026 season, and it's not reflected in his draft price at all. Draft him and Concepcion late and see how it plays out in the first few weeks of the season. There will be value to mine in this passing attack.

I didn't draft Jerry Jeudy anywhere last year, and I don't expect that to change in 2026. With Harold Fannin Jr., Denzel Boston, and KC Concepcion leading the way for the Cleveland passing attack this year, I expect Jeudy to be on the outside looking in. Last year, Jeudy was the WR61 in fantasy points per game with an 18.6% target share, 1.09 yards per route run, 0.056 first downs per route run, and a 25.3% first-read share (per Fantasy Points Data). He had 104 targets last year and did little to nothing with them. Avoid Jeudy in all formats this year.
