The New England Patriots will host the New York Giants in Week 13. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR Kayshon Boutte.
Is Kayshon Boutte Playing in Week 13?
Boutte is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Patriots’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Boutte in Week 13?
Boutte had a nice run of spike plays a month ago, but that is in the past now, and with a limited track record of winning routes consistently, there’s no need to overextend in this fashion for a piece of the Patriots offense.
This season, 20 times a New England player has finished a game with an 18% target share or greater, and Boutte has accounted for two of them.
Two.
He forced a long DPI last week, but the 6.1% target share carries more weight than the potential of a single big play. Boutte hasn’t seen more than three targets in seven of his past nine games and should be off your radar in all formats at this point.
