Summary

Boston ranks 10th in the NFL with 284 receiving yards, averaging an impressive 21.8 yards per catch, the highest in the league. Despite his relatively low reception total of 13, his explosive play potential has caught the attention of defenses.

Boston's growth coincides with the strong performance of fellow rookie receiver KC Concepcion, creating a balanced receiving corps for Watson.
