Boutte caught 33 of 46 targets for 551 yards and six touchdowns over 14 games during the 2025 regular season.
EDGE Analysis
Boutte saw a slight dip in receiving yards while reeling in 10 fewer passes in his third campaign with New England, but his six scores were double his combined total from his first two years in the league. The wide receiver became a go-to option for second-year quarterback Drake Maye on the deep ball, as his 16.7 yards per reception ranked fifth in the NFL during the regular season. Additionally, Boutte caught nine of 20 targets for a team-high 168 receiving yards, including a 32-yard touchdown, over the Patriots' four postseason contests.

Boutte caught one of six targets for six yards in Sunday's 10-7 win over the Broncos in the AFC Championship Game.
EDGE Analysis
Boutte tied for the team lead in targets but made a minimal impact in a defensive battle that saw both offenses get bogged down by wind and snow in the second half. After being targeted 15 times through three playoff games, Boutte's likely to have a substantial role in Super Bowl LX against the Seahawks.

Boutte caught three of five targets for 75 yards and a touchdown in the Patriots' 28-16 win over the Texans in the divisional round.
EDGE Analysis
The third-year wideout put the game out of reach in the fourth quarter, connecting with Drake Maye for a 32-yard score. Boutte led the Patriots in receiving yards on the day, and through two playoff games he's put together a strong 7-141-1 line on just nine targets. He'll look to keep rolling next weekend in the AFC Championship Game against the Broncos.

Boutte caught all four of his targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 16-3 wild-card win over the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
Boutte was listed as questionable after being limited in practice Thursday and Friday due to a hamstring injury. Per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, the wideout logged a 53 percent snap share Sunday, a lighter workload than he usually sees, but Boutte still ended up pacing the team in catches and was second to RB Rhamondre Stevenson in the receiving yards department. Boutte -- who averaged 16.7 yards a catch during the regular season -- will continue to be a mainstay in the Patriots passing attack in the team's divisional-round game against either the Steelers or Texans this coming weekend.

Boutte (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday night's playoff opener against the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
Boutte was added to the Patriots' wild-card-round injury report Thursday after being limited in practice by a hamstring injury, a level of participation that the wideout maintained Friday before being listed as questionable for Sunday's contest. With Boutte available versus Los Angeles, he'll be in a position to maintain his key role in a New England corps that also includes Stefon Diggs, Kyle Williams, DeMario Douglas and Efton Chism. During the regular season, Boutte caught 33 of his 46 targets for 551 yards and six TDs in 14 contests, but QB Drake Maye's tendency to spread the ball around has made the 2023 sixth-rounder a hit-or-miss fantasy option of late.

Boutte (hamstring) will be listed as questionable for Sunday night's playoff opener against the Chargers, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Boutte was added to the Patriots' wild-card-round injury report Thursday after being limited in practice by a hamstring injury. With the wideout now being deemed questionable as the weekend approaches, His status for Sunday's contest could turn into a game-day call ahead of an 8:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If Boutte ends up limited or out versus Los Angeles, Kyle Williams would be a candidate to see added opportunities in a wide receiver corps that also includes Stefon Diggs, DeMario Douglas and Efton Chism. Meanwhile, WRs John Jiles, Brandon Smith and Jeremiah Webb are members of New England's practice squad.

Boutte (hamstring) was limited in practice Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Boutte wasn't listed on the Patriots' initial injury report Wednesday, so it's unclear if the wideout emerged from that session with a hamstring issue or sustained an injury during Thursday's practice. Friday's final report will reveal whether Boutte approaches Sunday's playoff opener against the Chargers with an injury designation, in any case.

Boutte caught two of his four targets for 24 yards in the Patriots' 38-10 win over the Dolphins in Sunday's regular-season finale.
EDGE Analysis
In Boutte's return to action after missing one game due to a concussion, he logged a 58 percent snap share, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com. That workload was actually tops among the Patriots WRs in Week 18. Looking ahead to Sunday's postseason opener against the Chargers, Boutte figures to remain a key target for QB Drake Maye, though the team's tendency to spread the ball around makes him a hit-or-miss fantasy option. On the season, the 2023 sixth-rounder caught 33 of his 46 targets for 551 yards and six TDs in 14 contests.

Boutte (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Dolphins.
EDGE Analysis
Boutte was limited Wednesday, but he worked fully Thursday and Friday and now has been cleared to return to action after being inactive Week 17. In 13 regular-season contests, Boutte has recorded a 31-527-6 line on 42 targets, a pace that keeps him on the fantasy radar in deeper formats. With Mack Hollins (abdomen) on IR, look for Boutte to step right back into a significant snap share Week 18 while working alongside fellow WRs Stefon Diggs, Kyle Williams, DeMario Douglas and Efton Chism.

Boutte was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Boutte was limited in practice Wednesday and has since shed his non-contact jersey, but the Patriots have not yet officially confirmed whether he's cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. In order to retake the field for Sunday's regular-season finale against Miami, Boutte will need to officially gain full clearance from the concussion protocol, including from an independent neurologist.
