Kayshon Boutte is the New England Patriots number 9 wide receiver, a 3-year pro, and finished the 2025 regular season as a low-end fantasy option at his position. He averaged 7.7 fantasy points per game across 14 appearances, which ranks him 46th among wide receivers in our 2026 draft board. That per-game number is the starting point for every start or sit decision you make with him in 2026.
Kayshon Boutte finished 2025 with 33 receptions for 551 yards and 6 touchdowns. He drew 46 targets, a workload that anchors his weekly floor without quite hitting alpha status.
Kayshon Boutte is a complementary receiver in his offense, which means his fantasy ceiling depends on efficiency and touchdown variance. In good matchups he spikes into the top 12, but his week-to-week floor is lower than a target-dominant alpha. He is a strong FLEX play but a risky WR2 in weeks with tough cornerback coverage.
Heading into 2026, Kayshon Boutte projects as a core piece of the New England Patriots offense. Managers drafting him need to plan around his Week 14 bye and monitor training camp reports for role changes. DraftCall's AI comparison engine lets you pit him against any other NFL player in seconds, factoring in matchup quality, recent form, and scoring format, so you can make start or sit calls with real reasoning instead of gut feel.
