Should I start Juwan Johnson or Denzel Boston in Week 10?

Updated Nov 10, 9:16 AM ET.

  • : Denzel Boston: Listed Questionable (Calf) (Sleeper injury feed)

Start Denzel Boston: 88 percent of the snaps and 25 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Juwan Johnson's 56 percent of the snaps and 7 percent of the targets. 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.

Should I drop Juwan Johnson for Denzel Boston?

Not on these numbers alone. Juwan Johnson projects 73 market-implied PPR points from Week 10 through Week 17 (9.1 a game over 8 games) and Denzel Boston 74 (10.5 a game over 7 games), too close to separate, so the roster spot decides it.

The gap

  • Board size306 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 Juwan Johnson, and the board ranks him 112th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Denzel Boston, and the board ranks him 132nd overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Juwan Johnson is 2.1 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a tight end's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

The market-based projection for Denzel Boston is 1.8 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a wide receiver's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

Juwan Johnson's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.

This season through Week 9

Through Week 9, Juwan Johnson has been on the field for 65 percent of NO snaps, drawn 13 percent of the targets and had 11 percent of the red zone chances.

He has taken 14 of the offence's 75 third down targets, had 2 of its 25 chances inside the five and seen 11 of its 47 two minute targets.

His 39 targets have averaged 5.0 air yards.

In Week 6 against NYG he caught 0 of 2 targets for 0 yards and did not score.

In Week 7 against PIT he caught 1 of 3 targets for 7 yards and did not score.

In Week 9 against CLE he caught 2 of 2 targets for 34 yards and scored 1 touchdown.

Through Week 9, Denzel Boston has been on the field for 91 percent of CLE snaps, drawn 22 percent of the targets and had 16 percent of the red zone chances.

He has taken 20 of the offence's 69 third down targets, had 2 of its 17 chances inside the five and seen 12 of its 56 two minute targets.

His 60 targets have averaged 14.5 air yards.

In Week 7 against TEN he caught 3 of 8 targets for 27 yards and did not score.

In Week 8 against PIT he caught 6 of 11 targets for 37 yards and did not score.

In Week 9 against NO he caught 6 of 7 targets for 98 yards and did not score.

Their 2025 seasons

In 2025 Juwan Johnson played 17 games and scored 179.9 PPR points, 10.6 a game, finishing TE8.

He caught 77 of 102 targets for 889 yards and 3 touchdowns, with 8 red zone targets.

That came to 6.0 targets a game, a 75 percent catch rate and 12 yards a catch.

He was on the field for 76 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

Juwan Johnson is a tight end 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

Juwan Johnson is off in Week 8 and Denzel Boston in Week 11, so either can cover the other's bye.
