Grabs three passes in blowout loss Boston reeled in all three targets for 43 yards during Saturday's 49-21 loss to Oregon.

Impact Boston had an underwhelming final state line for the third week in a row to end the 2024 regular season. The sophomore wideout was a touchdown machine over the first half of the season, but his production fell as the team's passing game faltered down the stretch. This led to true freshman Demond Williams making his career start in place of fifth-year signal-caller Will Rogers in Week 14. The freshman passer also hit Boston for a two-point conversion just before the end of the first half, but he threw just one touchdown pass in his starting debut. Boston finishes his breakout 2024 regular season with 60 catches (on 97 targets) for a team-high 807 yards and nine touchdowns. The Huskies also finished the regular season at 6-6, meaning they'll now wait to hear which bowl game they will be invited to this coming postseason.

Logs two catches Week 12 Boston caught two of four targets for 47 yards during Friday's 31-19 victory against UCLA.

Impact Boston caught exactly two passes while seeing less than five targets for the second week in a row. This lackluster stat line came in a winning effort this week, as the Huskies scored over 30 points for the first time since their second game of the year. This is even more surprising considering that starting quarterback Will Rogers was benched after throwing back-to-back interceptions to start the second half. True freshman Demond Williams went 7-of-8 passing for 67 yards and a touchdown, hitting tight end Decker DeGraaf for a one-yard score in the fourth quarter. Boston isn't falling out of favor in the passing game, as he still led the team in receiving yards while slot wideout Giles Jackson logged team-highs with eight catches and nine targets. Nevertheless, Boston's fantasy value will likely take a hit for the rest of the season given the Huskies' shaky quarterback situation. Washington will finish its regular-season campaign versus rival and No. 1-ranked Oregon on the road Saturday, Nov. 30.

Sees three targets in blowout loss Boston hauled in two of three targets for 35 yards during Saturday's 35-6 loss to Penn State.

Impact Boston had easily his worst statistical outing of the season, as the Huskies' passing offense hit a low-point versus an elite Penn State defense. The 6-foot-4 sophomore logged less than eight targets for just the second time this season. He was also held without a touchdown for the third game in a row after logging nine through the first seven weeks. With the team's passing offense in a real rut as of late, starting quarterback Will Rogers was actually benched for true freshman Demond Williams midway through Saturday's loss. These two signal-callers combined to go 16-for-23 passing for just 119 yards and an interception. Rogers is expected to remain the starter for this Friday's game versus UCLA, and he'll likely need to re-establish his red-zone connection with Boston in order to come away with a win Week 12.

Logs 99 yards Week 10 Boston recorded nine receptions (on 14 targets) for 99 yards during Saturday's 26-21 victory versus USC.

Impact Boston logged season-highs in targets and receptions, but he came one catch shy of his third 100-yard receiving performance of the year. This was a nice bounce-back outing after his four-catch outing during last week's loss at Indiana. The 6-foot-4 sophomore also failed to catch a touchdown for the second week in a row, marking the first time he has not scored a touchdown in back-to-back games this season. Instead the Huskies got three rushing touchdowns in the red zone with running back Jonah Coleman and redshirt freshman wideout Keith Reynolds. Boston will look to get back in the end zone during next week's road game against an elite Penn State defense.

NOVEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Grabs four passes versus Indiana Boston posted four receptions (on seven targets) for 43 yards during Saturday's 31-17 defeat to Indiana.

Impact Boston did not score a touchdown in a game for just the second time this season. The 6-foot-4 has been the go-to red zone target for quarterback Will Rogers this season, but few of these opportunities existed Saturday due in part to two first-half interceptions by the Huskies signal-caller. Instead, slot receiver Giles Jackson and No. 2 quarterback Demond Williams each scored rushing touchdowns from withing the 10-yard line. Boston will look to score his 10th touchdown of the seaosn during next week's home game against USC.

Catches TD in lopsided loss to Iowa Boston recorded five receptions (on eight targets) for 48 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 40-16 loss to Iowa.

Impact Boston helped keep things close early for the Huskies, as he once again connected with quarterback Will Rogers for a touchdown in the red zone with a five-yard score early in the second quarter. However, Washington's offense got knocked off the rails for the remainder of the game, resulting in Boston's second outing with fewer than 50 receiving yards this season. The sophomore wideout will look to bounce back along with the rest of Washington's passing game when the team next plays at Indiana on Saturday, Oct. 26.

OCTOBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Grabs another TD Week 6 Boston gathered in five of 10 targets for 80 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 27-17 victory over Michigan.

Impact Boston scored his team-high eight receiving touchdown when he caught a three-yard pass in the end zone in the first half. The 6-foot-4 sophomore also conintued to serve as the No. 1 target for quarterback Will Rogers, finishing ahead of wideout Giles Jackson (seven) and tight end Keleki Latu (seven). Boston's 53 targets through the first six games of the season reinforces his value as one of the best fantasy wide receivers in the Big Ten moving forward. He and the Huskies' passing offense will have their work cut out for them during next week's road game versus Iowa, which annually boasts one of the best defenses in the Big Ten.

OCTOBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Catches two TDs in loss Boston gathered in 6 of 11 targets for 125 yards and two touchdowns during Friday's 21-18 loss against Rutgers.

Impact Boston logged two touchdowns and over 120 receiving yards for the second game in a row. The 6-foot-4 wideout notched the Huskies first touchdown in the third quarter when he caught a short pass over the middle before reversing upfield for a 51-yard score. He then came through with another 12-yard touchdown that pulled the score within three points with less than two minutes remaining. Fellow wideouts Jeremiah Hunter and Giles Jackson also continued to play significant roles with 16 combined targets. Yet, it looks like Boston has become the clear No. 1 target. With 30 receptions (on 43 targets) for 412 yards and seven touchdowns through five games, Boston should continue to rack up the stats with quarterback Will Rogers moving forward. They'll see perhaps their toughest test of the season when Michigan travels to Seattle this coming Saturday.

SEPTEMBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Logs two more TDs in Week 4 Boston caught seven of eight targets for 121 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 24-5 victory against Northwestern.

Impact Boston looked like the clear-cut No. 1 target for quarterback Will Rogers, who went 20-for-28 passing for 223 yards and two touchdowns. The 6-foot-4 sophomore logged his first touchdown catch from outside of the red zone this season when he caught a 46-yard touchdown in the first quarter. He then continued to serve as the go-to guy in the red zone with another 13-yard score early in the second quarter. Boston has quickly emerged into one of the most productive wideouts in the Big Ten since stepping into a starting role this season. Through four games, he's totaled 24 catches (on 32 targets) for 287 yards and five scores. Slot receiver Giles Jackson and Cal transfer Jeremiah Hunter have both had consistent roles as well, but Boston's role as the go-to guy in the red zone easily makes him the most valuable fantasy player from this group.

SEPTEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

11 more targets in Week 3 loss Boston gathered in eight of 11 targets for 58 yards during Saturday's 24-19 loss versus Washington State.

Impact Boston failed to catch a touchdown for the first time this season, as the Huskies were held out of the end zone on four trips within the opposing 25-yard line. The 6-foot-4 sophomore also led the team in targets, though 5-foot-9 wideout Giles Jackson played the starring role with eight catches (on eight targets) for 162 yards and touchdown on Saturday. Boston logged three touchdowns in the red zone through the first two games of the season, so it's likely that he'll remain the top target in this crucial part of the field moving forward this season. Washington will look to convert more of these opportunities during next Saturday's conference opener at home against Northwestern.

SEPTEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Grabs two red-zone TDs Boston gathered in 3 of 4 targets for 32 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 30-9 victory versus Eastern Michigan.

Impact Boston logged his third red-zone score of the season Saturday, grabbing a 13-yard slant pass and a one-yard corner route in the first half. The 6-foot-4 sophomore has quickly emerged as one of the go-to receivers for transfer quarterback Will Rogers, completing at least 70 percent of his passes for the second week in a row Saturday. Boston looks like he's squarely worked his way into a productive role through the first two weeks of the season, totaling nine catches (on 13 targets) for 108 yards. However, he'll face likely he's toughest test of the season thus far when in-state rival Washington State comes to town this coming Saturday.

SEPTEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Logs first career touchdown Week 1 Boston posted six receptions (on nine targets) for 76 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 35-3 victory over Weber State.

Impact Boston looked like one of the clear go-to options for transfer quarterback Will Rogers, who went 20-for-26 passing for 250 yards and one touchdown. This included their six-yard connection for the final touchdown of the game early in the fourth quarter. The 6-foot-4 wideout logged just five catches across 14 appearances last season, but, with the Huskies looking to replace every signifiant contributor from last year's record-setting offense, the redshirt sophomore looks like he'll be one of the primary pieces for this passing game in 2024. 5-foot-9 wideout Giles Jackson was the team's only other receiver to log more than two targets Saturday, as he caught 10 passes for 98 yards.

Quiet day in win Boston caught one of his two targets for 12 yards in Washington's 24-21 win over Washington State.

Impact Boston was previously listed as questionable heading into Saturday's game after missing Washington's game against Oregon State with an undisclosed injury last week. The redshirt freshman receiver has struggled to make an impact with the Huskies, totaling just five catches for 51 yards on the season. Boston's next opportunity to play for the Huskies will come against Oregon in the PAC-12 Championship game on Friday.

Impact Boston's next opportunity to play is against Washington State on Nov. 25. Should the wide receiver be out again then, he will have finished his 2023 season on a relatively sour note, as the Huskies have no more games remaining this year.
