The full read
Denzel Boston had his biggest receiving day of the season against the Saints: 7 targets, 6 catches, 98 yards and +4.2 expected points added (EPA), what a play is worth given down, distance and field position. His previous high was 95 yards in Week 2.
The big one came at 3-3 with 11:15 left in the third quarter, one snap after a Shedeur Sanders scramble moved the chains. First and 10 at the Cleveland 37, Sanders went deep right and Boston caught it for 60 yards before Kool-Aid McKinstry pushed him out at the 3: +4.3 EPA and 15.1 points of win probability, the estimate of each side's chance to win. Cleveland got no closer than the 3 and kicked a field goal for 6-3.
In overtime, down 23-16, he caught a 15-yarder on second and 14 and an 8-yarder on third and 4 to keep the tying drive alive. After Harold Fannin Jr.'s touchdown, the two-point pass for the win went his way and fell incomplete.
Per target it was well above his season. Through Week 8 he had 26 catches on 53 targets for 409 yards, 3 touchdowns and +5.9 EPA, +0.11 a target; here it was +0.60.
