Denzel Boston — Active
The wide receiver was the favorite for the Offensive Rookie of the Year after the first five weeks of the season, but he's now posted back-to-back subpar games against the Ravens and Titans. During those two contests, Boston has four catches for 42 yards on 13 targets. He's been extremely inefficient with his looks and isn't getting loose for big plays over the top of the defense. He'll try to get back on track next Sunday in Pittsburgh.
Denzel Boston — Active
Boston played through the same injury last week and took 92 percent of Cleveland's snaps on offense in a 13-10 win over the Ravens. He caught just one of five targets for 15 yards, showing the downside of being a deep threat in an offense with poor QB play.
Denzel Boston — Questionable
Boston has been bothered by a foot injury since the start of Cleveland's Week 6 preparations against the Ravens. He suited up for that game after three limited practices but was held to one catch, and the rookie second-round pick has opened Week 7 prep with a pair of limited sessions. Boston will look to increase his practice participation Friday and avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Titans.
Denzel Boston — Questionable
Though he didn't end up practicing fully at any point in Week 6 while managing the same foot injury, Boston still avoided a designation for this past Sunday's 13-10 win over the Ravens and ended up logging more than 90 percent of the offensive snaps. As long as he maintains or increases his current level of practice activity throughout the week, Boston should be ready to handle his usual playing time this coming Sunday versus the Titans.
Denzel Boston — Active
It was easily the rookie wideout's least productive game of the season, but the Browns struggled as a whole to get anything going against Baltimore's pass defense. Deshaun Watson amassed just 164 passing yards. Boston was still second on the team in targets, seeing just one fewer than KC Concepcion. Boston will try to rebound in a softer matchup with the Titans next Sunday.

Denzel Boston — Questionable
A limited practice participant throughout the week, Boston should be fine for his usual workload unless there's an in-game setback Sunday. He's rarely left the field for Cleveland this season, and his big plays have been about the only bright spot on offense.
Denzel Boston — Questionable
Boston has logged back-to-back limited practices to kick off Week 6 prep. The rookie wideout could still avoid taking an injury designation into Sunday's pivotal home game against the Ravens, especially if he can upgrade to full participation Thursday. Fellow rookie WR KC Concepcion (concussion) was also limited both Wednesday and Thursday. More opportunities could be available for Jerry Jeudy and Isaiah Bond should one or both of Boston and Concepcion sit Sunday.
Denzel Boston — Questionable
The rookie second-round pick is making his first career appearance on the injury report, but his ability to practice on at least a limited basis to begin Week 6 prep is a good sign for his chances of playing Sunday against the Ravens. The current betting favorite for the Offensive Rookie of the Year Award, Boston has opened his career with a 16-330-3 receiving line on 29 targets through five games.
Denzel Boston — Active
Boston's 29-yard touchdown catch with 6:15 left in the fourth quarter gave the Browns a 12-10 lead, but Cleveland failed to hold that advantage. The rookie second-round pick has caught 16 of 29 targets for 330 yards and three touchdowns while exceeding 40 receiving yards in each of his first five NFL outings. KC Concepcion, who was drafted 15 picks ahead of Boston at 24th overall, exited Sunday's loss due to a concussion. Boston could get a larger share of targets from Deshaun Watson if Concepcion doesn't rejoin Cleveland's WR room in Week 6 against the Ravens.
Denzel Boston — Active
The impressive start to Boston's NFL career continued Thursday, with the rookie second-round pick leading the Browns in receiving yards and tying for runner-up status with Quinshon Judkins in targets. The bulk of Boston's production came on an impressive 60-yard reception to kick off an early second-quarter possession that culminated in a Judkins two-yard touchdown run. Boston has quickly amassed a 13-284-2 line on 22 targets through his first four career games, affording him plenty of momentum heading into a Week 5 road matchup against the Jets on Sunday, Oct. 11.
Denzel Boston — Active
The rookie second-rounder was held without a catch until the fourth quarter, when he caught 28- and 13-yard passes from Deshaun Watson before the duo connected on a two-point conversion late in the fourth quarter to extend the Browns' lead to three points. Boston was unable to record a touchdown catch for a third-straight game, though he still finished Sunday's contest as the Browns' second-leading receiver behind tight end Harold Fannin (51). Boston, Fannin and rookie first-rounder KC Concepcion will continue to serve as Watson's top targets in the passing game, with Jerry Jeudy and Isaiah Bond working in rotation. Boston will take a 9-195-2 receiving line (on 15 targets) into Thursday's AFC North showdown against the Steelers.
