The New England Patriots have won four in a row, with the last three coming on the road to go 5-2 and sit atop the AFC East. They’ll host the 2-5 Cleveland Browns this weekend as 7-point favorites. A star of the last couple games has been wide receiver Kayshon Boutte, who has caught all seven of his targets for 148 yards and three touchdowns in the previous two games. That is truly a hot streak, but one that nobody can keep up, especially averaging 3.3 targets per game. But, is he worth starting with six teams on bye this week?
Below, we’ll go over Kayshon Boutte’s outlook in fantasy football for Week 8.
Fantasy Football analysis: Patriots, WR, Kayshon Boutte
Drake Maye has been on fire and his efficiency has been unmatched of late. That has helped Boutte put up 20 receptions for 356 yards and four touchdowns on just 25 targets through seven games. That kind of efficiency is scary to double down on and I’m not ready to do it. But, he is around a WR4/5 and depending on you settings, could be worth a flex spot. But I’m not high on him in a tough matchup.
