Should You Start or Sit Kayshon Boutte in Week 5?
Kayshon Boutte’s dropping 103 yards on the Raiders in the season opener was impressive, but he saw more targets in that game than he has in the following three and seems to be on the inverse plan of Stefon Diggs.
For the season, he’s averaging 16.5 yards per catch, and if you want to take a high-risk play in a spot where the Patriots will likely be required to score 25+ points to compete, Boutte is a viable dart throw in this, the first week of byes.
But be aware that you can likely find a dozen receivers on your waiver wire with a higher mean point projection.
