Patriots | Two WRs worked with starters Thu Jun 26, 09:45 AM
New England Patriots WR Kendrick Bourne and WR Kayshon Boutte received work with the first-team offense during offseason practices.
| Footballguys view: The Patriots have an interesting group of receivers...for many reasons. Stefon Diggs and Demario Douglas are the top two receivers, and guys like Bourne and Boutte will be working behind them. Both Bourne and Boutte are intriguing dynasty prospects we like in those formats, especially with the expected growth from QB Drake Maye. |

Patriots | Several receivers on the bubble Thu May 29, 12:38 AM
New England Patriots WRs Kendrick Bourne, Kayshon Boutte, Javon Baker, and Ja'Lynn Polk are likely to have a 'spirited competition' for a place on the team's 53-man roster, in the opinion of ESPN's Mike Reiss, who considers WRs Stefon Diggs (knee), DeMario Douglas, Kyle Williams, and Mack Hollins to be the top-four receivers. Most NFL teams carry five or six wideouts, in which case the group of Bourne, Boutte, Baker, and Polk could be competing for one or two spots.
| Footballguys view: The Patriots added Stefon Diggs this offseason, and they drafted Kyle Williams (Washington State) in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft. With the receivers already in place (not named Demario Douglas), there's going to be a fierce competition for roster spots. Playing special teams to give added value will help in determining who makes the team. |

Patriots | Kendrick Bourne staying on PUP Tue Aug 27, 10:53 AM
New England Patriots WR Kendrick Bourne (knee) will open the season on the Physically Unable to Perform list and miss the first four games.
| Footballguys view: Although Bourne had said he thought he would be full go for training camp after suffering a torn ACL in Week 8 last year, it didn't turn out that way. Despite the injury, the Patriots signed Bourne to a new three-year contract in March. They believe he will get healthy and contribute, even if it won't be during the first month of the season. Rookie Ja'Lynn Polk and slot receiver Demario Douglas are the top Patriots wideout in terms of ADP. Polk is WR68, and Douglas is WR70. Bourne, as WR100, is not on anybody's draft radar. |

Patriots | K.J. Osborn may see bigger role early Wed Jul 10, 03:33 AM
New England Patriots WR K.J. Osborn could see a bigger role in the offense if WR Kendrick Bourne (knee) is not ready for the start of regular season, in the opinion of PatriotsWire's Jordy McElroy.
| Footballguys view: The Patriots passing game is pretty 'meh' but we'll take note here. We have to see what Bourne can do leading up to the regular season first. Next, we'll have to see who wins the starting job at quarterback. Jacoby Brissett is a solid veteran who could start while rookie first-round pick Drake Maye gets his game up to speed. Fantasy GMs have plenty of other options besides banking on the Patriots passing game in 2024. |

Patriots | Several receivers may be on roster bubble Sun Jun 9, 10:18 AM
New England Patriots WRs Javon Baker, Kendrick Bourne, Demario Douglas, K.J. Osborn and Ja'Lynn Polk appear to be locks to make the team's 53-man roster at the beginning of the regular season, according to Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald. A handful of other receivers, such as Kayshon Boutte, Jalen Reagor, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Tyquan Thornton are battling for one or two roster spots.
| Footballguys view: The Patriots have quite the collection at the wide receiver position. There are some has-beens, never-weres, and who knows among the group behind the top five. We'll have to see how these battles shake out in training camp, but from a dynasty perspective, none of these players are that exciting. |

Patriots | Kendrick Bourne to miss workouts Mon May 20, 04:17 PM
New England Patriots WR Kendrick Bourne (knee) will not participate in the organized team activities this offseason because he is still recovering from a torn anterior cruciate ligament.
| Footballguys view: Bourne tore his ACL in Week 8 last season, so it's no surprise he's still working his way back up to speed. Bourne has said he expects to be ready for training camp. Despite the ACL tear, the Patriots signed Bourne to a three-year deal to a three-year contract in March, which strongly suggests they expect him to be good to go when the time comes. |

Patriots | Kendrick Bourne could be PUP candidate Wed May 8, 09:50 AM
New England Patriots WR Kendrick Bourne (knee) could be a candidate for the Physically Unable to Perform list if he is not ready for the start of the regular season, in the opinion of NBC Sports Boston's Phil Perry.
| Footballguys view: Bourne suffered a torn ACL in Week 8 last year while he was playing good football for the Patriots. The team then paid him a three-year contract worth "up to $33 million" in March, so they'll protect the investment by easing him back into action if Bourne is not ready for Week 1. Even though we've seen players come back sooner from knee injuries (see Javonte Williams last year), many players still take 12 months to look like their old selves. That makes PUP an option for Bourne. |

New England Patriots impending free-agent WR Kendrick Bourne has not had any significant contract talks with the Patriots at this point, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: This was expected by most reporters around the team. Bourne suffered a torn ACL in the Patriots' Week 8 loss to the Dolphins, ending his season. He's been on the road to recovery since, but there should be an "okay" market for his services on the open market. |

New England Patriots WR Kendrick Bourne (knee) said he is ahead of schedule in his recovery and believes he will be ready for the start of the 2024 regular season.
| Footballguys view: Bourne suffered a torn ACL in the team's Week 8 loss to the Dolphins, and he's been on the road to recovery ever since. He will be brought along cautiously this offseason, and there's a chance he could participate at some point in training camp. His status for the beginning of the 2024 season is up in the air, and he's unlikely to be at full strength until halfway through this season. |

Patriots | Kendrick Bourne out for season Mon Oct 30, 09:18 AM
New England Patriots WR Kendrick Bourne (knee) suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in Week 8 and was lost for the season.
| Footballguys view: This just flat-out sucks. Not much is exciting in the Patriots' offense, but Bourne was a bright spot for the passing game. He was in the midst of a breakout season in 2023, catching 37 passes for 406 yards and four touchdowns through eight games. Rookie WR Demario Douglas (dubbed 7-11 by Cecil and Sigmund on The Audible because he's always open) should be a hot waiver wire addition this week as he steps into a larger role. |
