New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte is not a reliable fantasy option entering Week 15 against the Arizona Cardinals. While Boutte had three-plus catches in three of the last four games prior to the Patriots' bye, the second-year receiver's upside will be limited this week as he takes on the Cardinals. Boutte has played 89.8 percent of his snaps out wide, and Arizona has allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to receivers operating out wide in 2024. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere such as Boutte's teammate and Patriots slot receiver DeMario Douglas for fantasy production in the WR3/FLEX position this week.
New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte caught three of his six targets for 41 yards during Sunday's Week 13 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. The 22-year-old played 71 of the Patriots' 72 offensive snaps on Sunday; this 99 percent snap share was his highest mark of the season. He now has 12 catches for 127 yards over his last four games, ranking as the overall WR56 in PPR leagues during that span. Boutte's high snap share and big-play ability make him an intriguing depth option in fantasy football, but managers can't justify starting him until he delivers FLEX-caliber production on a more consistent basis. The second-year receiver's next chance to make an impact will come on the other side of the Patriots' bye in Week 15 when they take on the Arizona Cardinals.
New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte is tough to trust in fantasy football ahead of Week 13, but his large role on offense gives him some fantasy relevance in deeper leagues. The second-year pass-catcher has played at least 87 percent of the Patriots' offensive snaps in four consecutive weeks, totaling 11 catches and 104 yards during that span. He typically operates as a deep-threat option in New England, but he has had trouble hauling in big catches over the last few weeks. In fact, Boutte has been less productive than Kendrick Bourne and DeMario Douglas lately despite playing more snaps and running more routes. His deeper-league allure this week comes from the fact that the Colts have struggled to contain pass-catchers, allowing the eighth-most catches, seventh-most receiving yards, and 14th-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers. Boutte ranks as a fringe top-50 fantasy wide receiver, earning WR4 consideration in most formats.
New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte hasn't quite cracked the top 40 fantasy options since Week 6, but he has been one of the more consistent pass-catchers over the last four weeks. During his most recent four-game stretch, Boutte has six targets in every contest, totaling 13 catches, 144 yards, and zero touchdowns. When he last faced Miami in Week 5, he caught two passes for 34 yards. The second-year receiver out of LSU is widely regarded as a deep-threat receiver, boasting a low floor and high ceiling. Miami has allowed the fewest fantasy points to wide receivers this year, but that number is likely skewed from the four-game stretch for which Tua Tagovailoa was sidelined; during that span, opponents adopted a run-heavy approach against the Dolphins and did not have to develop an overly aggressive passing attack. This Miami team allowed Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp to combine for 16 catches and 178 yards just two weeks ago. Boutte isn't on the same level as either Rams receiver, nor does he play the same role, but the bottom line is that the Dolphins have shown they aren't going to shut down every pass-catcher they face. Boutte checks in as a low-end WR4 in deeper formats, such as 14-team leagues.
New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte caught four of his six targets for 33 yards during Sunday's Week 11 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Boutte was heavily involved in the Patriots' offensive game plan once again, playing 96 percent of snaps while running routes on 59 percent of the team's plays from scrimmage. The 22-year-old has played more than 80 percent of snaps in each of his last six games. Meanwhile, he has totaled six targets in each of his last four contests. Fantasy managers would like to see a slightly higher catch rate from the LSU product, but he's strung together enough solid production that he can be rostered in leagues with 14 teams or more.
