What happened: Boston enters Week 4 atop rookie wide receivers with 195 receiving yards through three games. Carnell Tate is second at 123, followed by Caleb Douglas at 113, with Antonio Williams and Ted Hurst tied at 103.

Why it matters: The early gap gives the Browns' second-round pick a 72-yard cushion over the next rookie on the board and keeps him in the middle of the first-month receiver race. It also extends the fast start for Denzel Boston, who opened his career with touchdowns in each of his first two games.

By the numbers: Boston's 195 yards are 72 more than Tate's 123, 82 more than Douglas' 113 and 92 more than Williams and Ted Hurst at 103. 4 overall, Boston No. 39, Williams No. 71 and Douglas No. 75.

What to watch: Week 4 will show whether Boston can widen the gap or if Tate starts to reel him in. Douglas also enters the week with a questionable tag on the injury report.
