Kayshon Boutte Fantasy Stats

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte finished his third season with 33 catches (46 targets) for 551 yards and six touchdowns in 14 games. The 23-year-old wideout was one of the most explosive receivers in the league and had a dynamic downfield connection with quarterback Drake Maye, leading the league with 12.24 yards per target (minimum 40 targets). With how well-distributed New England's passing attack has been this season, Boutte's target volume hasn't been high enough for consistent fantasy production, with eight targets being his season high, which occurred back in Week 1. He projects as a boom-or-bust option in a tough matchup in Sunday's Wild-Card game against the Los Angeles Chargers, who allowed the ninth-fewest PPR points to receivers in the regular season.

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte (concussion) has cleared the league's concussion protocol and will play in Sunday's Week 18 regular-season finale against the division-rival Miami Dolphins. Boutte was limited in Wednesday's practice before he was a full-go each of the last two days. The matchup against the Dolphins' defense is plus, especially with the Patriots still alive for the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoff picture. The 23-year-old pass-catcher will be hard to trust in fantasy lineups, even in deeper leagues, after he missed the Week 17 win over the New York Jets. Boutte had only one reception for 16 yards in his last game in the Week 16 win over the Baltimore Ravens. In the first meeting against Miami, Boutte caught his only target for 16 yards and a touchdown. Boutte will be more of a long shot for production as a deep-league flex this weekend.

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte (concussion) shed his non-contact jersey at practice on Thursday and appears to have cleared the league's concussion protocol, according to Mark Daniels of Mass Live. Boutte missed the blowout win over the New York Jets in Week 17, but as long as he gains clearance from an independent neurologist, the 23-year-old appears to be on track to play on Sunday against the division-rival Miami Dolphins in the Week 18 regular-season finale. In his last game in the Week 16 win over the Baltimore Ravens, Boutte had one catch on three targets for 16 yards, and he's had back-to-back games with just one catch. Boutte has been outside the top 50 wideouts this year in half-PPR points per game, making him a volatile flex option for fantasy lineups this weekend if he makes his return, even in a plus matchup against Miami. UPDATE: Boutte practiced in full on Thursday.

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte (concussion) is back at practice in a non-contact jersey on Wednesday, according to Evan Lazar of Patriots.com. Boutte suffered a concussion during Week 16's win over the Baltimore Ravens and was held out of last week's game against the New York Jets. The 23-year-old's return to practice on Wednesday is a positive sign that he is making progress in his recovery and should give him a shot to return in Week 18 against the Miami Dolphins, though he will need to clear the league's concussion protocol first. The third-year wideout has been a valuable weapon in the Patriots' explosive passing attack, catching 31 of his 42 targets for 527 yards and six touchdowns in 13 games. With Mack Hollins (abdomen) on Injured Reserve, Boutte could be in line for an increased role if he can play in the regular-season finale.

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte (concussion) has been ruled out of the team's Week 17 matchup with the Jets after suffering a concussion late in a Week 16 win over the Ravens. Boutte was injured on a controversial deep pass that resulted in no pass interference call, and he will now be held out of at least one more game as he works through the league's concussion protocol. Fellow receiver Mack Hollins (abdomen) has also been ruled out for Sunday, leaving Drake Maye without his two most reliable downfield threats, but potentially putting rookie Kyle Williams in a position to build upon his late-season momentum. Williams caught a critical 37-yard touchdown in New England's comeback win on Sunday night, and he could be in line for his highest snap share of the season with Boutte and Hollins already ruled out, while DeMario Douglas (hamstring) is questionable with a hamstring injury.

New England wide receiver Kayshon Boutte (concussion) was one of eight Patriots players to miss Wednesday's practice as he works through the league's concussion protocol. Boutte was injured on a deep pass late in New England's Week 16 win over the Ravens that controversially did not see a flag thrown for pass interference. Veteran receiver Mack Hollins (abdomen) also missed Wednesday's practice with an abdominal issue, but if he's able to suit up for a Week 17 divisional matchup with the Jets, he is the most likely candidate to assume Boutte's downfield role, putting him in a valuable spot against New York's struggling defense. Since becoming sellers at the NFL trade deadline, the Jets have been one of the most fantasy-friendly defenses in the league, and they come into Week 17 having allowed at least 330 passing yards in back-to-back games. The Patriots' injury report will need to be monitored throughout the week, as there is fantasy gold to be mined from their passing attack, with Drake Maye coming off his own 380-yard passing performance, the highest of his young career.

New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel said on Tuesday that wide receiver Kayshon Boutte (concussion) is in the NFL's concussion protocol, per ESPN's Mike Reiss. Boutte will need to clear the league's testing to be available for New England's Week 17 matchup against the New York Jets. Across 13 games this season, the 23-year-old has hauled in 31 receptions for 527 yards and six touchdowns on 42 targets. Boutte's production has tailed off a bit of late, as he has not recorded more than 35 receiving yards in a game since Week 8. If he's unable to play in Week 17, Patriots wide receivers Mack Hollins and Stefon Diggs would likely both see a slight increase in target share. Additionally, rookie wideout Kyle Williams could step into Boutte's role as the team's top deep-ball threat.

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte had a disappointing performance last Sunday against the Buffalo Bills (one catch for 30 yards), but he should bounce back against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday Night Football in Week 16. Despite his reduced volume and productivity lately, Boutte has played at least 75% of the offensive snaps in each of his last three games. He consistently gets onto the field and runs routes. Now, he just needs a steadier target share. That could come to fruition this week against the Ravens. Of all the fantasy points that Baltimore has surrendered to wide receivers in 2025, 69% of those points have been recorded by receivers who play on the perimeter. That mark ranks ninth-highest in the NFL, and it bodes well for Boutte, who almost always operates out wide. He and Mack Hollins, who also frequents the perimeter, should benefit from this matchup. Boutte currently ranks as the WR55 in RotoBaller's Week 16 fantasy football rankings, but managers in leagues with 14+ teams could certainly justify starting him as a low-floor, high-ceiling WR3 or flex on Sunday night.

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte was unproductive during Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills, tying his season low with one target in the defeat. The third-year wideout has hit a slump over the last few weeks. Boutte hasn't surpassed 35 receiving yards in a game since Week 8. The good news is that Boutte is heading into a plus matchup against the Baltimore Ravens defense in Week 16. The expectation is that the Patriots should have more success passing the ball in that one. Boutte isn't a high-end streaming option, but he should offer deep-league appeal in a flex spot. He has hauled in six touchdowns and is one of the better red-zone threats in this offense. Fantasy managers should expect a bounce-back outing from the 23-year-old this weekend.

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte continues to handle a large volume of snaps, but it has resulted in inconsistent production thus far. He has six games with single-digit fantasy points in PPR leagues, and five games with double-digit points. His results have been somewhat unpredictable, but he faces an uphill battle to produce in Week 15 against a solid Buffalo Bills defense. The Bills have allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points to perimeter wide receivers in 2025, which limits Boutte's fantasy upside since he has played more than 90% of his snaps out wide. In his last outing against the Bills, he was held to a modest three catches for 43 yards. The 23-year-old is headed for a tough matchup this week and could quite possibly be outperformed by both Stefon Diggs and Hunter Henry in the passing game. As a result, Boutte is the overall WR40 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy rankings, which means that he can be benched in most formats.
