Patriots' Kendrick Bourne: Expected to get snaps Week 11
When asked Friday, coach Jerod Mayo said Kendrick 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
Though Kendrick 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 New England 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
Kendrick 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
Kendrick 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 New England 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: One catch versus Jaguars
Kendrick Bourne was on the field for 37 of a possible 60 snaps on offense in Sunday's 32-16 loss to the Jaguars, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.In his third game since being activated from the PUP list in advance of Week 5 action, Bourne caught one of his two targets for 14 yards. It's possible that as the wideout further distances himself from the knee injury that previously sidelined him, Bourne could see his volume increase as the season progresses, but until that happens, he's off the fantasy radar.

Patriots' Kendrick Bourne: Two catches versus Houston
Kendrick 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.

Patriots' Kendrick Bourne: Active versus Texans
Kendrick Bourne (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Texans.After being activated from the PUP list ahead of Week 5 action, Bourne made his season debut in the New England Patriots' loss to the Dolphins last weekend, en route to logging 16 of 60 snaps on offense while catching his lone target for six yards. In his second game back from a major knee injury that he suffered Oct. 29, 2023, Bourne could see an uptick in playing time in QB Drake Maye's first NFL regular-season start. However, until the veteran wideout re-establishes a steady role in New England's offense, he'll continue to profile as a speculative fantasy option.

Patriots' Kendrick Bourne: Expects to play
Kendrick Bourne (knee), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans, is expected to play, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.Bourne played just 27 percent of the team's snaps in his 2024 debut last week after missing the first four games following the 2023 October ACL tear. Expect the veteran wide receiver to be more involved in the gameplan this week as the New England Patriots debut the 2024 No. 3 overall pick, Drake Maye, in his first professional start.

Patriots' Kendrick Bourne: Questionable for Sunday
Kendrick Bourne (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans after practicing in a limited fashion this week.Given that Bourne was on the reserve/PUP list through Week 4 as he bounced back from a knee injury he sustained Oct. 29, 2023, it's not surprising that the New England Patriots are easing the wideout back into the mix. We'd expect Bourne to be available to face Houston on Sunday, with confirmation of his status set to arrive once New England's inactives are known ahead of the team's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. After logging a 27 percent snap share in his season debut versus Miami in Week 5, Bourne could see an uptick in playing time in QB Drake Maye's first NFL regular-season start, but until the veteran pass catcher gets a full and productive game in, he's a speculative fantasy option.

Patriots' Kendrick Bourne: Still limited at practice
Kendrick Bourne (knee) remained limited at practice Thursday.Bourne also was limited Wednesday, but chances are his limitations are maintenance-related rather than indicative of any setbacks with the knee injury that kept him on the reserve/PUP list through Week 4. Friday's injury report will reveal whether the wideout approaches Sunday's game against the Texans with an injury designation or fully cleared for Week 6 action.
