Kayshon Boutte Fantasy Stats

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte scored his team-leading sixth touchdown of the season in Monday night's win over the New York Giants. Boutte has been an impactful player for New England in his third season, leading the league with 12.7 yards per target. When healthy, the 23-year-old has operated as one of the Patriots' starting wide receivers, leading their wide receiver group in route share (67.3%). Boutte isn't a major target-earner, but he's been an explosive playmaker for breakout quarterback Drake Maye. Boutte and the Patriots head into their Week 14 bye on a high note and will prepare for a big divisional matchup against the Buffalo Bills in Week 15. Boutte is a low-floor, high-ceiling player who could be worth adding off the waiver wire this week to have as a flex option for the rest of the season.

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte posted four catches for 35 yards and a touchdown on five targets in Monday night's win over the New York Giants. Boutte finished the game tied with tight end Hunter Henry for the team lead in receptions and continued his breakout campaign. The 23-year-old has emerged as a legitimate threat for New England in his third season, recording 29 receptions (38 targets) for 481 yards and a team-leading six touchdowns in 11 games. He's developed a great connection with breakout quarterback Drake Maye on downfield targets and ranks third in the league among wide receivers with 16.6 yards per reception. Boutte should remain a viable flex option in fantasy football following New England's Week 14 bye, when the Patriots take on the division-rival Buffalo Bills.

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte carries a high ceiling and low floor into Monday Night Football against the New York Giants in Week 13. Boutte has repeatedly shown that he's capable of big games, strengthening his rapport with Drake Maye deep downfield. However, he has also turned in plenty of duds, including last week's performance that saw him catch just two passes for 15 yards despite an impressive 80% snap share. Part of last week's quiet outing could be attributed to the tight end position; both Boutte and Stefon Diggs had just two catches while Hunter Henry and Austin Hooper feasted against the Cincinnati Bengals, combining for 10 catches, 154 yards, and a touchdown. With slightly less motivation to get the ball to his tight ends this week, Maye could look Boutte's way more often, especially against a Giants defense allowing the third-most receiving yards and fourth-most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025. The 23-year-old certainly isn't the safest option, but he's worth the risk as a WR3/flex in deeper leagues. Boutte ranks as the overall WR52 in RotoBaller's fantasy football rankings for Week 13.

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte returned from a two-week absence and played 80% of the team's snaps in Week 12 against the Bengals. He only had two catches on two targets for 15 yards, but he seems to be over his injury and ready to resume his role as the team's deep threat. Hunter Henry went off on Sunday on underneath routes, but Boutte is still involved enough on the outside to be a nice addition on waiver wires, if he's available in standard-sized leagues. QB Drake Maye has been doing a good job spreading the ball around, which makes Boutte a boom-or-bust play with upside. He has totaled 25 catches for 446 yards and five touchdowns in his 10 games this season and has a favorable matchup this week against the Giants on Monday before a Week 14 bye week.

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) returns from a two-game absence this Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. While fantasy managers will be excited to get the third-year receiver back for Week 12, expectations should be tempered as he prepares for a challenging matchup. Cincinnati's defense has been soft in many areas this year, but its one main area of strength has been shutting down receivers who operate out wide. The Bengals have allowed the second-fewest points to perimeter receivers, which is where Boutte has amassed 89.3% of his snaps. Even though he'll likely be the Patriots' No. 2 receiver this week, he ranks outside the top 36 fantasy receivers and has a very low floor in this specific matchup. Stefon Diggs and Hunter Henry are far better fantasy options among the Patriots' pass catchers in Week 12.

New England wide receiver Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) has responded well to a week of practice, and he is expected to return to action when the Patriots face the Bengals in Week 12. Boutte missed the last two games after exiting the Patriots' Week 9 win over the Falcons with a hamstring injury. In his absence, veteran receiver Mack Hollins has stepped in as the team's most prolific deep threat, catching 10 of his 15 targets for 170 yards in wins over the Buccaneers and Jets. With Boutte back in action, the expectation is that Hollins will return to a role closer to the line of scrimmage and Boutte will continue to see work downfield. Boutte's 17.7-yard average depth of target ranks fifth among qualified wide receivers, and he is one of only three receivers with an ADoT above 13 yards and a reception percentage above 70%, illustrating his chemistry with Drake Maye and value within this offense. Against a subpar Bengals defense, he should be right back in play as a high upside flex play.

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) was a full participant in practice on Thursday. He has been able to log back-to-back full sessions, which bodes well for his status heading into Week 12 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Assuming Boute has another full practice on Friday, he should enter the weekend without any sort of injury designation. In such a scenario, he would reclaim his role as the No. 2 receiver in the Patriots' offense behind Stefon Diggs. Fantasy managers shouldn't rush to get him back into their lineups, though. The Bengals have allowed the second-fewest points to receivers playing out wide, which is where Boutte has amassed 89.3% of his snaps. Stefon Diggs and Hunter Henry are far better fantasy options among the Patriots' pass catchers.

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) is back at practice on Wednesday, according to Evan Lazar of Patriots.com. Boutte has missed the last two games due to a hamstring injury, but he was limited Monday through Wednesday of last week before being ruled out for the Thursday night win over the New York Jets in Week 11. In Weeks 6-8, the 23-year-old pass-catcher caught 10 of his 12 targets for 223 yards and four touchdowns, so fantasy managers shouldn't forget about the third-year wideout in an ascending Patriots offense. With Boutte out for the last two games, Mack Hollins and rookie Kyle Williams have had bigger roles in the passing attack. If Boutte can upgrade to a full practice this week, he stands a good chance of returning to a great matchup against a weak Cincinnati Bengals defense. UPDATE: Boutte practiced in full on Wednesday.

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) is a name to look for on waivers this week, as he is currently rostered in under 50% of leagues and is expected to return to practice on Wednesday after missing the last two games with a hamstring injury. In his third season, Boutte has become a favorite downfield target of MVP candidate Drake Maye, already racking up a career-high five receiving touchdowns in eight-plus games. While his target numbers have not been off the charts, the looks he's getting have been extremely valuable for fantasy, with an average depth of target of 17.7 yards. His 74.2% catch rate while maintaining such a high ADoT speaks volumes to the connection he's forged with Maye. Should he return for Week 12, he walks into a plus matchup against a struggling Bengals defense. If active, Mack Hollins, who has been the Patriots' downfield threat in Boutte's absence, will likely return to a less fantasy-friendly role closer to the line of scrimmage.

New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel reports that wide receiver Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) is expected to practice on Wednesday ahead of the team's Week 12 meeting with the hosting Cincinnati Bengals. Boutte has missed nearly three full games after picking up a hamstring injury early on in their win over the Falcons in Week 9. The LSU alum could only practice in a limited fashion in Week 11, so he'll presumably return to a full participant as they gear up for a road clash with the Bengals. When Boutte makes his way back to the field, teammate Mack Hollins' production figures to take a hit. The former will be a solid play against a bottom-ranked Cincinnati pass defense if he's active.
