• Patriots' Kendrick Bourne: Expected to get snaps Week 11

  13H ago • By RotoWire

  When asked Friday, coach Jerod Mayo said Bourne will play Sunday against the Rams, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports. Bourne was active last Sunday against the Bears but didn't play a single offensive snap after he posted a 4-41-0 receiving line the previous week versus Tennessee. Mayo said Bourne had a "good week of practice," per Mark Daniels of MassLive.com. Kayshon Boutte ran a position-high 29 routes versus Chicago last week, followed by DeMario Douglas (18), K.J. Osborn (16) and Ja'Lynn Polk (10). Osborn has been on and off the inactive list throughout the season, so perhaps Bourne takes his spot once again.

• Patriots' Kendrick Bourne: No snaps in Week 10

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Though Bourne was active for Sunday's 19-3 win over the Bears, he didn't log any snaps in the contest, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports. After recording four catches on six targets for 41 yards in the Patriots' overtime loss to the Titans in Week 9, Bourne was the odd man out among the team's wideouts Sunday. While he figures to re-enter the mix in the coming weeks, the veteran is off the fantasy radar unless he reclaims a key role in the New England offense, something that seems unlikely while the team is focused on developing younger WRs like Kayshon Boutte and Ja'Lynn Polk.

• Patriots' Kendrick Bourne: Gets more involved

  12D ago • By RotoWire

  Bourne recorded four receptions (on six targets) for 41 yards in Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Titans. Bourne has slowly seen his snap count tick up since returning from a knee injury Week 5, though his involvement in the offense took its first true leap Sunday. He recorded season-best marks in targets, receptions and yards, while also matching his longest gain of the season with a 14-yard catch late in the second quarter. Bourne missed out on an even bigger day when a 22-yard catch was wiped out by a holding call, but his performances are trending in the right direction.

• Patriots' Kendrick Bourne: No catches in Week 8

  19D ago • By RotoWire

  Bourne logged 52 of a possible 67 snaps on offense in Sunday's 25-22 win over the Jets, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports. Though Bourne's snap count was his highest since being activated from the PUP list in advance of Week 5 action, he didn't catch any of his three targets Sunday. Regardless of who starts at QB for the Patriots in Week 9 against the Titans, Bourne isn't an enticing fantasy option after managing just a 4-29-0 receiving line on eight targets through his first four outings this season.

• Patriots' Kendrick Bourne: Two catches versus Houston

  10/14/2024 • By RotoWire

  Bourne caught both of his targets for nine yards in Sunday's 41-21 loss to the Texans. Per Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald, Bourne -- who was activated from the PUP list ahead of Week 5 action -- said last week that it would take a couple of weeks for him to get back to 100 percent as he bounces back from a knee injury, with the wideout's snap count increasing from 16 snaps in his first game back to 34 snaps Sunday. With that in mind, it wouldn't surprise us to see Bourne's playing time continue to rise Week 7 against the Jaguars, but for the time being he's a risky fantasy lineup option.
