Boston entered the week with 13 catches for 284 yards and 2 TDs on 22 targets. He was averaging 71.0 yards per game and 21.8 yards per catch, with a 60-yard long. Sunday’s 7 targets topped his 5.5 per game average, but his 46 yards fell well short of his typical output. His 93.2% route rate (41 of 44) shows he’s a full-time player, though the targets were split evenly among Cleveland’s top three WRs. Deshaun Watson completed only 15 passes and took 8 sacks, which capped everyone. The Jets entered allowing the 7th-fewest PPR points to WRs (27.1 per game) and ranked 18th in our pass defense power rankings.
Cleveland hosts the Ravens in Week 6, then visits the Titans and Steelers. Baltimore ranks 14th in PPR points allowed to WRs (34.7 per game) but 7th in our pass defense power rankings. Tennessee is the best spot of the stretch, allowing the 12th-most WR points (36.3) and ranking 31st in our pass defensive power rankings. Pittsburgh sits in the middle at 19th (31.8) and 15th in our pass defensive power rankings. Boston’s big-play ability makes him a WR3 moving forward, though he remains TD dependent moving forward.
