The Facts:
Boston, 28, the eighth overall pick in 1999, has not played in more than two seasons because of injuries and was cut by the Bucs at the end of training camp last year. Still, Bucs HC John Gruden is holding out hope the veteran can get it together. "I don't want to jinx anything because usually when you start throwing out comments or compliments to guys, you screw it up, " Gruden said. "He's really doing well. He's a young guy, and if he does come back. ... We've got a heck of a receiver."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Gruden's optimism is understandable -- if not well founded. In 75 career games with Arizona, Miami and San Diego, Boston, who rejoined the Bucs in February, has 315 receptions for 4,699 yards and 25 touchdowns.
