KAYSHON BOUTTE NEWS

Leaves Sunday's game Boutte exited Sunday's game against the Bills due to a head injury.

Impact Prior to his departure from the contest, Boutte caught all seven of his targets for 117 yards and a TD. In his absence, DeMario Douglas, Kendrick Bourne, Javon Baker and Alex Erickson are available to handle New England's Week 18 wideout duties.

Returns with full practice Boutte (illness) was a full participant in practice Thursday.

Impact Boutte was held out of Wednesday's practice after coming down with an illness, but his ability to take every rep a day later has him on track to play in Sunday's season finale versus the Bills. The second-year wideout has played at least three quarters of the Patriots' offensive snaps in 11 consecutive games and is averaging 2.9 receptions for 38.6 yards and 0.18 touchdowns on 5.1 targets during that stretch.

Back at practice Boutte (illness) returned to practice Thursday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact After missing Wednesday's session, Boutte's return to the field a day later has him trending toward being available for Sunday's season finale against the Bills. The Patriots' upcoming report will clarify whether the wideout was limited or worked fully in his return to practice.

Doesn't practice due to illness Boutte sat out Wednesday's practice because of an illness.

Impact It's not clear if Boutte is at risk of missing Sunday's season finale due to the ailment, but he'll have two more days this week to attempt to return to practice. The wideout played sparingly last season but has grown into a bigger role this year, logging at least 75 percent of the Patriots' offensive snaps every game since Week 6. If Boutte were to be unable to suit up Week 18, Kendrick Bourne would probably slide into New England's No. 2 receiver role.

Loses recent momentum Boutte caught four passes for 28 yards on five targets against the Chargers on Saturday.

Impact In Week 16 Boutte broke the game open for the Patriots by scoring a long touchdown against the Bills, but he couldn't recreate the big play against the Chargers on Saturday. It was arguably encouraging to see Boutte draw five targets on mostly shorter routes -- part of the struggle with Boutte this year has been the boom-or-bust category he landed in as a deep-route specialist -- so if Boutte can combine the short routes of Saturday with the longer catches he provided at earlier points this year, then there could be untapped potential yet in the second-year wideout. The Patriots have their rematch against the Bills in Week 18.

Big plays against Bills Boutte recorded five receptions on seven targets for 95 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Bills.

Impact Boutte was a major driver of the New England offense, with his first contribution coming on a beautiful 28-yard connection with Drake Maye in the front right corner of the end zone on the team's first offensive possession. He was consistently targeted by Maye deep down the field thereafter, which also led to additional long receptions of 31 and 22 yards. Boutte has struggled with inconsistency this season, though his playmaking ability could cause Maye to look his way more often in the final two games of the campaign.

Two catches versus Cardinals Boutte was on the field for 45 of a possible 51 snaps on offense in Sunday's 30-17 loss to the Cardinals, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com.

Impact Boutte, who once again led the Patriots wide receivers in snaps, finished Sunday's contest with two catches on a team-high five targets for 19 yards. The 2023 sixth-rounder's steady rate of playing time should give him a chance to produce down the stretch, but at his current pace, Boutte is only a fantasy option in deeper formats.

Three catches versus Colts Boutte was on the field for all but one of the Patriots' 72 snaps on offense in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Colts, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com.

Impact In the process, Boutte caught three of his six targets for 41 yards. The Patriots are on bye in Week 14, but Boutte's steady workload should give him an opportunity to carve out modest deep-league lineup utility through the upcoming fantasy stretch run.

One catch in Week 12 Boutte was on the field for 60 of a possible 69 snaps on offense in Sunday's 34-15 loss to the Dolphins, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com.

Impact Though Boutte led the Patriots wideouts in snaps Sunday, he was limited to just one catch on four targets for six yards in the contest. Prior to that, he'd caught four passes (on six targets) in each of his prior two outings, so there's some bounce-back potential for Boutte in Week 13 versus the Colts, considering his steady workload of late.

Impact Boutte, who has been targeted six times in each of his last four games, caught four passes for the second straight week in the process. Though the 2023 sixth-rounder has topped out at 59 receiving yards over the course of his nine outings to date, Boutte's steady workload gives him enough of a weekly floor to merit lineup consideration in deeper fantasy formats.

Career-high four catches Sunday Boutte caught four of six targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 19-3 win over the Bears.

Impact On a tough day for both offenses, Boutte led the Patriots in targets and set a new career high in receptions. The second-year wideout has seen exactly six targets in three straight games, and in five contests since rookie Drake Maye took over as the starting QB, Boutte has posted a 13-203-1 line on 23 targets. He'll try to build on that modest production in Week 11 against the Rams.

Impact Boutte once again led the Patriots wideouts in snaps Sunday, but wasn't able to parlay that into significant production versus Tennessee. As long as the 2023 sixth-rounder sees steady playing time with Drake Maye at QB for the team, he'll have a chance to make a mark, but for now he's not a high-percentage fantasy option ahead of this weekend's game against the Bears.

Impact For the third straight game, Boutte led the Patriots' wideouts in snaps, and in the process the 2023 sixth-rounder tied TE Hunter Henry with a team-high six targets in Week 8. Given that he's earned steady playing time of late, Boutte could be worth a look in deeper leagues to see how he progresses as the season continues, but so far he's topped out at three catches and 59 yards in a single game.
