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

Start Denzel Boston: 91 percent of the snaps and 22 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Ted Hurst III's 56 percent of the snaps and 9 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.
