The New England Patriots (1-2) will host the Carolina Panthers (1-2) in Week 4. 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.

Boutte is not on the injury report and 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 Kayshon Boutte in Week 4?
Kayshon Bouttee earned eight targets on 44 routes in Week 1, and that was a fun way to start the season, but four targets on 56 routes since is representative of the peaks and valleys that come with a developmental QB.
Drake Maye is a work in progress. He’s talented, but not flawless, and without a bonafide top target, these crazy production swings are a part of betting on this offense.
For me, no pass catcher on this roster is going to be a must-start at any point this season. Hunter Henry had the big game last week, and DeMario Douglas could have a 10-catch game at some point.
Counting on players like this weekly isn’t wise, but in uncertain situations like this, I have no problem going this way in a pinch, knowing that there are targets widely available on a weekly basis.
