Kendrick Bourne's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne caught all three of his targets for 39 yards during Sunday's Week 13 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. He played 64 percent of the team's offensive snaps and ranked third among Patriots wide receivers with 27 routes run. The 29-year-old now has at least three catches in each of his last three games, totaling 31.5 fantasy points (PPR) and ranking as the overall WR36 during that span. It's also worth noting that Bourne's production and fantasy value would have been even higher if not for a touchdown reception that was called back due to a penalty. Moving forward, Bourne's volume and scoring potential make him a fringe top-36 fantasy receiver on the other side of the Patriots' Week 14 bye.

New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne will look to command at least five targets for the third consecutive game this Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts. The veteran receiver now has 10 targets, eight catches, 100 yards, and one touchdown over the last two weeks, ranking as the overall WR26 in half-PPR leagues during that span. While it's a small size and Bourne's production did decline from Week 11 to Week 12, it's still worth noting that he has quickly cemented himself as one of Maye's most preferred and reliable targets within the New England offense. He should continue to see heavy usage in Week 13, giving him WR3/FLEX appeal in leagues with at least 14 teams. His ranking could rise further if DeMario Douglas (ankle, questionable) isn't able to play this weekend. Bourne's opponent, Indianapolis, has allowed the eighth-most catches, seventh-most receiving yards, and 14th-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers.

New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne has emerged out of nowhere as a potential WR3/FLEX option in fantasy football ahead of this week's game against the Miami Dolphins. He didn't step foot on the field in Week 10, but last Sunday, he played nearly half of the offensive snaps and finished with five catches, 80 yards, and a touchdown. It's unclear which version of Bourne we'll get this week, but it seems likely that he has earned even more opportunities after last week's strong showing. 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. Bourne isn't on the same level as either Rams receiver, but the bottom line is that the Dolphins have shown they aren't going to shut down every pass-catcher they face. Bourne is a viable WR3/FLEX option in fantasy leagues with at least 14 teams.
