- : Denzel Boston: Listed Questionable (Foot) (Sleeper injury feed)
Start Denzel Boston: 93 percent of the snaps and 21 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Brian Robinson's 27 percent of the snaps and 32 percent of the carries. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.

The gap
- Board size310 draftable players
Draft data is not current for these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out. The call above comes from each player's usage.
Where the draft room stands
Live drafts hold no current pick on Brian Robinson, and the board ranks him 66th overall on the rest of his evidence.
Live drafts hold no current pick on Denzel Boston, and the board ranks him 67th overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
The market-based projection for Brian Robinson is 6.7 PPR points a game off 2 markets across 13 market sources. That is 70 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
Denzel Boston's market-based projection is 10.7 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 13 market sources. That is the 74th highest figure of the 208 players with a market-based projection.
Brian Robinson's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
This season through Week 6
Through Week 6, Brian Robinson has been on the field for 31 percent of ATL snaps, taken 31 percent of the carries, drawn 4 percent of the targets and had 17 percent of the red zone chances.
He has taken 2 of the offence's 47 third down targets, had 1 of its 13 chances inside the five and seen 1 of its 18 two minute targets.
His 6 targets have averaged 1.3 air yards.
In Week 4 against NO he carried 14 times for 62 yards, caught 1 of 1 target for 5 yards and scored 3 touchdowns.
In Week 5 against BAL he carried 7 times for 16 yards, caught 0 of 1 target for 0 yards and did not score.
In Week 6 against CHI he carried 2 times for 1 yards, caught 2 of 2 targets for 9 yards and did not score.
Through Week 6, Denzel Boston has been on the field for 92 percent of CLE snaps, drawn 20 percent of the targets and had 12 percent of the red zone chances.
He has taken 12 of the offence's 45 third down targets, had 0 of its 8 chances inside the five and seen 5 of its 28 two minute targets.
His 34 targets have averaged 16.6 air yards.
In Week 4 against PIT he caught 4 of 7 targets for 89 yards and did not score.
In Week 5 against NYJ he caught 3 of 7 targets for 46 yards and scored 1 touchdown.
In Week 6 against BAL he caught 1 of 5 targets for 15 yards and did not score.
Their 2025 seasons
In 2025 Brian Robinson played 17 games and scored 62.5 PPR points, 3.7 a game, finishing RB63.
He carried 92 times for 400 yards and 2 touchdowns, and caught 8 of 12 targets for 25 more yards.
That came to 5.4 carries a game at 4.3 yards a carry and 0-1 catches a game.
He was on the field for 17 percent of the snaps in the games he played.
Denzel Boston is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.
Side by side
Brian Robinson is a running back and Denzel Boston a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.
Byes and availability
Both are off in Week 11, so a roster holding the pair has that one week to cover twice.
What would change the answer
Brian Robinson has only a partial projection, so the market half of this page is whole for only one of them.
