Kendrick Bourne Rest-of-Season Outlook
depth WR for deep leagues only
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished WR68 last season at 5.8 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 3 games he's WR52 at 7.6 PPR points per game, against 5.8 over 16 games last season (WR68). He's running ahead of last season's pace.
Last season he ranked 68th of 142 in target volume (9.6% target share), 66th of 142 in downfield role (13.6% air-yards share) and 54th of 142 in efficiency (1.62 yards per route run). Target volume is the soft spot. Jacoby Brissett is his quarterback.
The main risk is the job itself. He's the listed starter with Devin Duvernay next on the depth chart, and a benching or an injury would take his value to zero overnight.
The next favorable matchups are the Giants in Week 4 (8th against WRs) and the Lions in Week 5 (2nd against WRs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 16, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Bourne's 2025 tape was quietly excellent on volume nobody handed him. Across 14 games he turned just 53 targets into 37 grabs for 551 yards at 14.9 per catch, and the efficiency markers pop: a 0.388 EPA per play, a 64.2% success rate, and 1.62 yards per route run. The catch is the workload. A 9.6% target share, 0.155 targets per route, and a 0.24 WOPR are backup-receiver inputs, and the zero touchdowns capped a WR52 finish despite the strong per-rep production.
Arizona doesn't fix the volume problem. Bourne slots third or fourth behind Marvin Harrison Jr., Michael Wilson, and target magnet Trey McBride, projecting as a slot complement rather than a featured piece. The efficiency is real and the hands are dependable, but until injuries clear a path, this is a deep-bench dart and a bye-week patch, not a weekly starter.

What is Kendrick Bourne's fantasy outlook for the rest of the 2026 season?
Kendrick Bourne projects as a depth WR for deep leagues only for the rest of the 2026 season: waiver-wire material in 12-team PPR, 10-team PPR and half-PPR leagues. His target volume (9.6% target share, 68th of 142 WRs in 2025) holds him back. See his live rank in Redraft Command.
What is Kendrick Bourne's rest-of-season fantasy ranking?
Kendrick Bourne is the WR52 in PPR points per game through Week 4. That puts him in depth WR territory, waiver-wire material in 10-team PPR leagues.
What is Kendrick Bourne's projected role going forward?
Kendrick Bourne is the listed starting WR, with Devin Duvernay next on the depth chart. Nothing on the chart threatens the job, so the role is his to lose on performance.
Will Kendrick Bourne get more targets?
Kendrick Bourne's targets are trending down: 3.0 a game over his last two games against 4.7 for the season. His share of the offense is what his fantasy value rides on.
What is Kendrick Bourne's fantasy football upside?
Kendrick Bourne's upside: his ceiling this season is 15.5 PPR points (Week 1, WR18) and the Giants in Week 4 and the Lions in Week 5 are top-10 matchups for WRs.
What could hurt Kendrick Bourne's fantasy value?
Kendrick Bourne's risks: Devin Duvernay is next on the depth chart if he is benched or hurt, his target volume (9.6% target share, 68th of 142 WRs in 2025) limits his scoring and the Broncos in Week 7 is a tough matchup. See his injury status and history.
How difficult is Kendrick Bourne's remaining fantasy schedule?
About average: of his next seven games, 2 come against a top-10 matchup for WRs and 2 against one of the stingiest defenses, by PPR points allowed to the position.

Shoulder Played through
Appeared on the injury report as questionable with a shoulder issue but was active for the game.
If Bourne Misses Time
Next man up: Devin Duvernay
Devin Duvernay is next on the Cardinals depth chart at wide receiver. The targets would likely spread across the offense rather than pass to one player, so he's a waiver add only if Bourne misses time.
Who else it affects
His absence would move work to the rest of the offense, and Jacoby Brissett would lose one of his main options.
