Impact With Osborn a healthy scratch Sunday, the Patriots' Week 11 wideout corps will be comprised of DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte, Ja'Lynn Polk, Kendrick Bourne and Javon Baker.

No catches Sunday Osborn logged 29 of a possible 64 snaps on offense in Sunday's 19-3 win over the Bears, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Impact After being a healthy scratch in Week 9, Osborn returned to the mix Sunday, while finishing second among New England's wideouts in terms of snaps. However, Osborn didn't catch his only target in the contest, and unless his volume picks up in the coming weeks, he'll remain off the fantasy radar.

Back in lineup Sunday Osborn is active for Sunday's game against the Bears.
Impact Osborn was a healthy scratch in Week 9, but following the NFL trade deadline he remains in the Patriots' wideout mix. However, with DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte and Kendrick Bourne likely slated to lead the team's Week 10 WR corps, Osborn isn't a high-percentage fantasy option.
NOVEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE
Inactive Sunday Osborn is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans.
Impact With Osborn and Tyquan Thornton not playing Sunday, DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte, Kendrick Bourne, Ja'Lynn Polk and Javon Baker are available to handle the Patriots' Week 9 wideout duties. With the NFL trade deadline looming, it's possible that Osborn could be on the move in the coming days.

Finds end zone Osborn recorded two receptions on three targets for 26 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-16 loss to the Jaguars.
Impact Osborn looked to be phased out of the New England offense, as he failed to log a snap in Week 6. However, he managed to make an impact Sunday with DeMario Douglas (illness) held out for much of the second half and Ja'Lynn Polk continuing to struggle. Osborn's primary impact came midway through the fourth quarter when he hauled in a 22-yard touchdown reception. He'll likely return to a minimal role in Week 8 against the Jets, though it will be worth monitoring the health of the Patriots' other pass catchers.

No snaps in Week 6 Osborn was active for Sunday's 41-21 loss to the Texans, but didn't play in the contest, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
Impact Osborn, who was inactive in Week 5 due to a shoulder injury, was limited in practice last week, but he ended up in uniform Sunday, with Tyquan Thornton and Javon Baker being healthy scratches versus Houston. While Osborn didn't see any snaps in the contest, DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte, Ja'Lynn Polk and Kendrick Bourne handled New England's WR duties. Perhaps once Osborn distances himself further from his shoulder issue, he'll find himself back in the rotation, but for now he's off the fantasy radar.
OCTOBER 14 • ROTOWIRE
Suiting up Sunday Osborn (shoulder) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Impact Osborn, who was inactive in Week 5, was limited in practice this week before heading into the weekend listed as questionable. Though he's back in the lineup after a one-week absence, given that Ja'Lynn Polk, Kendrick Bourne and DeMario Douglas are also in New England's WR mix, Osborn isn't a high-percentage fantasy option until or unless he's able to establish consistent rapport with rookie QB Drake Maye, who's making his first NFL regular-season start Sunday.
OCTOBER 13 • ROTOWIRE
Questionable after three LPs Osborn (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans, Mark Daniels of MassLive reports.
Impact Osborn's questionable after a trio of limited practices. If he suits up, Osborn will be catching passes from rookie third overall pick Drake Maye, who has supplanted Jacoby Brissett as New England's starting quarterback.
OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
Limited to start Week 6 prep Osborn (shoulder) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.
Impact Osborn sat out the Week 5 loss to the Dolphins due to a shoulder injury, but it's encouraging to see him participating in a limited fashion after Osborn didn't practice at all during Week 5 preparation. The veteran wideout has only five catches for 31 yards this season, but if Osborn's able to play against the Texans on Sunday, he could benefit from New England switching from Jacoby Brissett to rookie third overall pick Drake Maye under center.
OCTOBER 9 • ROTOWIRE
Won't play Sunday Osborn (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Impact Osborn, who was unable to practice this week, was listed as questionable ahead of the contest, and he'll now target a return to action Oct. 13 against the Texans. In his absence Ja'Lynn Polk, DeMario Douglas and Kendrick Bourne -- who was activated from the PUP list Saturday -- figure to lead the Patriots' Week 5 WR corps, with Tyquan Thornton and Kayshon Boutte also available versus Miami.

Impact Osborn, who was unable to practice this week, was listed as questionable ahead of the contest, and he'll now target a return to action Oct. 13 against the Texans.

Questionable after three DNPs Osborn (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Impact It would be surprising if Osborn managed to suit up considering he didn't practice in any capacity all week, but the Patriots are leaving the door open for the wide receiver to play with a questionable designation. More snaps on the outside would be available for a combination of Ja'Lynn Polk, Tyquan Thornton, Kayshon Boutte and Javon Baker if Osborn sits, while DeMario Douglas should continue to man the slot in New England's underwhelming receiving corps.
OCTOBER 4 • ROTOWIRE
Misses another practice Osborn (shoulder) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.
Impact Osborn also missed Wednesday's session, so he'll need to practice in some capacity Friday in order to have a chance to play Sunday against the Dolphins. Either way, with five catches for 31 yards on 13 targets through in four games to date, Osborn carries modest fantasy value.
OCTOBER 3 • ROTOWIRE
Misses Wednesday's practice Osborn (shoulder) didn't practice Wednesday.
Impact Osborn, who was on the field for 42 of a possible 64 snaps on offense in the Patriots' Week 4 loss to the 49ers, is now dealing with a shoulder issue ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins. That said, with five catches on 13 targets for 31 yards through four games, Osborn is only a fantasy consideration in deeper formats.
OCTOBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
One catch Sunday Osborn logged 42 of a possible 64 snaps on offense in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the 49ers, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Impact In the process, Osborn, who started alongside Ja'Lynn Polk (53 snaps) on Sunday, caught one of his five targets for three yards in the contest. With just five catches (on 13 targets) for 31 yards through four games thus far, Osborn is off the radar in all but the deepest of fantasy formats
SEPTEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE
No catches in Week 3 Osborn logged 39 of a possible 52 snaps on offense in Thursday's 24-3 loss to the Jets, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Osborn (who was not targeted Thursday) and Ja'Lynn Polk (26 snaps) started at wide receiver for the Patriots versus New York, while DeMario Douglas (43 snaps) paced the team with seven catches for 69 yards in the contest. Despite a steady share of snaps, Osborn has been limited to just four catches (on eight targets) through three games to date, a rate of production that keeps him off the fantasy radar for now.

Impact Osborn and Ja'Lynn Polk (41 snaps) started at wide receiver for the Patriots in Week 2, while DeMario Douglas (38 snaps) and Tyquan Thornton (31 snaps) were also in the mix. Going forward, there will be weeks in which Osborn and his fellow WRs will be more involved, but against the Seahawks at least, New England's offense was pace by the run game, with tight end Hunter Henry (eight catches on 12 targets) serving as QB Jacoby Brissett's top target.

Impact Osborn, who was in the team's starting alignment along with Tyquan Thornton (38 snaps) and DeMario Douglas (39) snaps, led the team in targets in Week 1, but with 2024 second-rounder Ja'Lynn Polk (35 snaps) also in the mix, New England's target distribution could be fluid early on this season. For now, Osborn's only a fantasy consideration in deeper formats.
SEPTEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE
Plays as starter again Osborn recorded two receptions on four targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 20-10 preseason loss to the Commanders.
Impact Osborn was a starting outside receiver alongside Tyquan Thornton and was second on the team with 21 snaps on the first 31 offensive plays. He was targeted deep regularly, and he did connect with Drake Maye on a 48-yard catch -- only for it to be nullified by a penalty. The Patriots appear set to rotate their wide receiver corps early in the season, and Osborn is in the group that should see the field plenty in Week 1 against Cincinnati.
