WR Kayshon Boutte, NE (2 Viewers)
- Thread starter Faust
- Start date
Damn over Ridley? Spicy. I like it. I may do the same over Ridley. But have Tillman too I can start.

Was just able to grab him. Made a 2 for 1 trade for Kenneth Walker so I could grab Boutte as my 5th wr. Traded J Warren and Olave for essentially Walker and Boutte. Certainly risk with the Walker / Charb situation but they are an offense that will run, run, run. We’ll see how it works out.

I am rolling him out there over Diggs, Kupp, and Tillman
Drake Hater

Just snagged him and put him in over Odunze. Have Drake at QB so hoping the stack comes through.

Teams will now focus on Boutte. Don't think he repeats last week. 4/53/0 day coming.

Miami’s defensive backfield situation is a mess. I’m very hopeful about today.

another guy I spent up to get but can't figure out how to get into my lineups
Already made the mistake of starting M Golden again, so I'd have to bench Evans, Odunze or Metcalf to get him in. I could start him in a flex over either Kelce or Pitts. It is TE Premium.
Over Henderson, Jamo or Egbuka? Nah can't see it. He'll probably outscore J Taylor AND Achane but definitely not benching those guys.
Metcalf, McConkey, Coleman, Hollywood? Boutte over which one? I need to see another week of it first but even then not sure. Hollywood feels like the one to fade this week IDK.
I did get him into a couple other lineups but am more desperate there anyway. Over Ayomanor but I think that's closer than it sounds. And over Tyreek on a loaded dynasty team because I'm effing around. Gonna find out.

Leaning George Pickens over... Boutte, Odunze and Pittman. Boutte is tempting with the Miami matchup, but the Giants matchup for Pickens looks equally good. Need to see more from Boutte before trusting him to start.
I may regret not starting Deebo on Thursday night. But felt his FBG's rankings were a little inflated based on week 1.

In one league I'm starting both Pickens and Boutte and in another one I have Boutte over Pickens.
I think Pickens could get a deep shot, but the Miami secondary matchup is hard to ignore for me.

Well I made a mistake sitting him for Odunze. OOOF
1 target
Good point. I also sat Odunze for Jameson. Just hate my bench going off like this.

He's gonna be like owning a Bills receiver.
Besides his TD and 1 catch so far. I'm thinking he was more of Maye's flavor of the week last week. Diggs is more involved as is Hooper. Only 1 target for Boutte so far. The TD is nice,but you can't count on those to save you each week.. and the Fins are a much worse D than Pats faced last week..
Don't think any receiver will be the alpha in this offense.

Disappointing when pedestrian production after the td would have sent his stock soaring. As nice as the catch was, it does nothing to dispell the narrative that he's going to struggle to get separation.
Did the injury factor in at all? The TD sort of saves the day in half ppr. If we get week 1 production next week, this game was a bridge and momentum is still rolling. If he follows this up with 3 for 30yds, I'm sure I'll be looking at other options.

Hmm .. I think his best asset, IS separation. He’s def not winning with athleticism - he wins with route running, and separation.
I didn’t watch the game. His low target was strange this week.
I’d like to hear from someone that actually watched the game

I got sucked into the hype. Should never have checked in here this morning.

I read that as you sat him for Odunze

Wait, what?
8 targets week 1 and turned it into 6/100+
Week 2 he scores a TD, what am I missing?
Wide Receivers across the board are up n down mostly, 100 yds one week, 1 catch the next
JAMO had 2/108/TD, he's TD dependent as well
He's the starting X Wide Receiver for the Patriots with an up and coming young QB, better days ahead this season
And he was a waiver wire pick up for many
He's balling right now

You’re missing that he went from 8 targets last week, to 1 target this week. Granted he made that target count, but that’s not ideal if you’re hoping for him to become the go-to target for Maye. Go-to WR’s don’t get just 1 target all game when healthy. The bar should be a little higher for a player you are hoping will return value, either as a flex option or a tradeable asset.
The narrative was Boutte was on the upswing after his previous two games against the Bills and the Raiders game last week. This performance cooled things down a bit, though if anyone was desperate enough to start him at least it wasn’t a goose egg. But as I said earlier there are going to be spike weeks from multiple Pats WRs this season and likely to be high variance. Jamo is on the extreme end of that spectrum. He’s low volume but explosive. Boutte at this point lacks explosiveness but has performed very well when he gets 7+ targets (which so far is only the three aforementioned games).

May I introduce you to AJ Brown...

Fair lol, though I’ll still contend Brown has shown quite a bit more as a player than Boutte has, so I’d be more confident in a Brown turnaround. Boutte is a solid player but I’d be surprised if he produces consistently enough to be trusted in fantasy. Hope I’m wrong as I have him stashed in one league and a breakout would benefit my favorite NFL team. But I wouldn’t want to start him in fantasy, not yet at least.
