Bourne was on the field for 28 of a possible 60 snaps in Sunday's 23-21 win over the Dolphins, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, en route to catching one of his two targets for 16 yards and carrying once for two yards.
Analysis: After catching six of his nine targets for a season-high 100 yards and a TD in the Patriots' Week 16 loss to the Bengals, Bourne's role in the team's offense took a hit versus Miami, with Jakobi Meyers (nine targets) and Tyquan Thornton (seven targets) working as QB Mac Jones' top wideout targets in the contest. Looking ahead the New England's regular season finale this Sunday against the Bills, Bourne profiles as a hit-or-miss fantasy option.

Bourne brought in six of nine targets for 100 yards and a touchdown and rushed once for 29 yards in the Patriots' 22-18 loss to the Bengals on Saturday.
Analysis: Bourne was the surprise leader in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon in what was DeVante Parker's second straight absence due to a concussion. Bourne's season-high reception and receiving yardage figures came on the heels of a blanking over just 10 snaps against the Raiders in Week 15, making it all the more surprising. The sixth-year pro's first chance to build on the resurgent effort comes in a Week 17 home matchup against the Dolphins on Sunday, Jan. 1.
Dec 24, 2022 11:16 PM EST
Bourne was on the field for 11 of a possible 65 snaps on offense in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Raiders, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: In the process, Bourne -- who caught five passes for 47 yards in Week 14 -- didn't haul in his only target. Given that he was out-snapped by Tyquan Thornton (60), Nelson Agholor (54) and Jakobi Meyers (40) on Sunday, Bourne isn't a high-percentage fantasy option for this weekend's contest against the Bengals.
Dec 19, 2022 10:07 AM EST
Bourne was on the field for 42 of a possible 59 snaps on offense in Monday's 27-13 win over the Cardinals en route to catching all five of his targets for 47 yards, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The five catches marked a season-high for Bourne, whose profile in the Patriots' passing game expanded Monday with Jakobi Meyers (concussion) inactive and DeVante Parker (head) limited to just six snaps on the contest. Bourne's fantasy prospects in Week 15 hinge in large part on the availability of Meyers and Parker, but if neither are cleared for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Bourne could merit lineup consideration in deeper formats.
Dec 13, 2022 8:41 AM EST
Bourne was on the field for 20 of a possible 54 snaps on offense in Thursday's 24-10 loss to the Bills, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: In the process, Bourne caught one of his two targets for 15 yards. With 19 catches for 226 yards (on 26 targets) through 11 games to date, Bourne is off the fantasy radar in all but the deepest of formats while working in a wideout corps that also includes Jakobi Meyers, DeVante Parker, Nelson Agholor and Tyquan Thornton.
Dec 2, 2022 9:17 AM EST
Bourne recorded three receptions on four targets for 36 yards in Thursday's 33-26 loss to the Vikings. He also had one rush for minus-seven yards.
Analysis: Bourne got involved in the offense in the fourth quarter as New England attempted to make up a one-score deficit. He hauled in catches of 14 and 17 yards, though the latter came with only 28 seconds left and the Vikings in prevent defense. Bourne played 38 offensive snaps, but that was in part due to an injury scare for Jakobi Meyers.
Nov 25, 2022 9:23 AM EST
Bourne, who was on the field for 24 of a possible 63 snaps on offense in Sunday's 10-3 win over the Jets, caught his only target in the contest for eight yards, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: For the fourth time in his last five games, Bourne recorded just one target, a rate of volume that keeps the 27-year old off the fantasy radar ahead of Thursday's game against the Vikings. Overall, Bourne -- who recorded 55 catches last season -- has caught 15 of his 20 targets for 175 yards through nine contests.
Nov 21, 2022 9:32 AM EST
Bourne, who was on the field for 48 of a possible 63 snaps on offense in Sunday's 26-3 win over the Colts, caught three of his four targets for 11 yards in the contest, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: After having recorded just one target in three consecutive games, Bourne was more involved in the Patriots' passing game Sunday, with DeVante Parker (knee) out, but it didn't amount to much fantasy production. With Parker potentially back in action following the Patriots' bye, Bourne's lineup upside remains limited ahead of the team's Nov. 20 contest against the Jets.
Nov 7, 2022 9:39 AM EST
Bourne was on the field for 54 of a possible 78 snaps on offense in Sunday's 22-17 win over the Jets, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Despite being out there for 69 percent of the Patriots' plays on offense, Bourne didn't catch a pass Sunday, while recording just one target for his third consecutive contest. Until additional volume heads his way on a regular basis, Bourne is off the fantasy radar.
Oct 31, 2022 10:38 AM EST
Bourne (toe) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jets after practicing fully Friday.
Analysis: Bourne, who didn't play this past Monday against the Bears, logged limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday before practicing fully Friday. The wideout is thus slated to suit up this weekend, though given his 11-156-0 receiving line on 14 targets through six games to date -- he's not a high-percentage fantasy option in Week 8.
Oct 28, 2022 1:44 PM EST
Bourne (toe) was limited at practice Wednesday.
Analysis: After being limited to just four snaps in Week 6 due to a toe injury, Bourne was inactive for Monday night's loss to the Bears. That the wideout continues to practice in a limited fashion suggests that he could play this weekend against the Jets, but until he's next able to get a full and productive game under his belt, Bourne isn't a high-percentage fantasy lineup option.
Oct 26, 2022 2:22 PM EST
Bourne (toe) is inactive for Monday night's game against the Bears.
Analysis: As a result, the Patriots' Week 7 wideout corps will feature Jakobi Meyers, DeVante Parker, Nelson Agholor and rookie Tyquan Thornton, with Thornton a candidate to continue to see his profile in the team's offense expand in Bourne's absence.
Oct 24, 2022 4:03 PM EST
Bourne (toe) isn't expected to play Monday night against the Bears, Michael Giardi of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: With Nelson Agholor (hamstring) also iffy for the contest, rookie Tyquan Thornton is a candidate to log added Week 7 WR snaps if Bourne and/or Agholor are out or limited versus Chicago.
Oct 23, 2022 9:47 AM EST
Bourne (toe) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Bears, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The Patriots only did a walkthrough at practice, so it's hard to say for certain what Bourne's status will be for the prime-time game. Expect more information to be announced closer to Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.
Oct 22, 2022 2:55 PM EST
Bourne (toe) remained limited at practice Friday.
Analysis: Bourne was limited to just four snaps in last weekend's win over the Browns due to a toe injury and appears to be trending toward an official 'questionable' designation for Monday night's 8:15 ET kickoff. With an 11-156-0 line on 14 targets through six outings this season, however, Bourne profiles as a hit-or-miss fantasy option in advance of Week 7 action.
Oct 21, 2022 2:50 PM EST
Bourne (toe) was limited at practice Thursday.
Analysis: A toe injury restricted Bourne to four snaps in this past Sunday's win over the Browns, but the wideout's limited participation Thursday gives him a chance to suit up Monday night against the Bears. That said with an 11/156/0 stat line on 14 targets in six appearances to date this season, Bourne is only an option in deeper fantasy formats.
Oct 20, 2022 2:16 PM EST
Bourne appears to be dealing with a mild case of turf toe, Zack Cox of NESN reports.
Analysis: Turf toe can cause multi-week absences, but Bourne's case "doesn't seem that serious," so he might be able to keep playing through it. The wide receiver played just four snaps in Week 6 against the Browns before exiting the game, though he remained on the sidelines with his teammates. Expect Bourne's practice reps to be capped ahead of New England's Week 7 MNF matchup with the Bears.
Oct 17, 2022 11:32 AM EST
Bourne was forced out of Sunday's game against the Browns with a toe injury.
Analysis: Prior to his exit, Bourne caught his only target for 17 yards. In his absence, Tyquan Thornton is in line to see added wideout snaps alongside Jakobi Meyers and DeVante Parker.
Oct 16, 2022 10:52 AM EST
Bourne, who was on the field for a season-high 34 (of a possible 60) snaps on offense in Sunday's 29-0 win over the Lions, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, caught his only target in the game for one yard.
Analysis: Bourne also rushed once for minus-1 yards Sunday, in a contest in which Jakobi Meyers (7/111/1 on eight targets) was clearly QB Bailey Zappe's preferred WR option. With a 10/139/0 stat line on 13 targets through five games, Bourne will remain off the fantasy radar in all but the deepest of formats until he starts seeing consistent volume.
Oct 10, 2022 11:24 AM EST
Bourne logged 26 of a possible 58 snaps on offense in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Packers en route to catching two of his three targets for 23 yards and rushing once for 15 yards, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Though fellow wideout Jakobi Meyers (knee) remained sidelined Sunday, Bourne didn't see heavy volume in Week 4 and with the Patriots' QB situation looking cloudy in the short term due to injuries to Mac Jones (ankle) and Brian Hoyer (head), Bourne remains a speculative fantasy option ahead of this weekend's game against the Lions.
