Kayshon Boutte Rest-of-Season Outlook
depth WR for deep leagues only
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished WR51 last season at 8.9 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 3 games he's WR84 at 4.6 PPR points per game, against 8.9 over 14 games last season (WR51). He's running behind last season's pace.
Last season he ranked 71st of 142 in target volume (9.5% target share), 59th of 142 in downfield role (16.9% air-yards share) and 51st of 142 in efficiency (1.65 yards per route run). Target volume is the soft spot. C.J. Stroud is his quarterback.
The next favorable matchup is the Giants in Week 7 (8th against WRs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Boutte quietly turned in a hyper-efficient 2025: a 0.801 EPA per play and 71.7% success rate on 46 targets, with six touchdowns and 16.7 yards per catch across 14 games. He functioned as a vertical specialist, averaging nearly 17 air yards per target and producing 1.65 yards per route run while dropping just one ball. The production was real, but the volume never followed his snaps, as his target share sat at only 9.5% despite a 67.5% snap rate.
That thin usage is the problem heading into 2026. New England imported A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs, crowding the pecking order and shoving Boutte toward the roster bubble. Modest projections near 30 grabs, 462 yards and four scores reflect that crunch, and an ADP outside the top 85 receivers tells the story. He is a touchdown-or-bust deep flier and a bye-week patch, not someone to count on weekly.
