Who Should I Start? Justin Fields or Kayshon Boutte

Sunday, October 5, 7:07 PM

New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields completed 32 of 46 pass attempts for 283 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 5 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. He took five sacks but also rushed for 26 yards. Although the Jets are 0-5 this season, Fields has been quite productive from a fantasy perspective. In the three games where he has been fully healthy, Fields is averaging 28.2 fantasy points. He has seven total touchdowns and zero interceptions this year, though he also has two lost fumbles to his name. We've known about his rushing ability for quite some time, but we're also starting to see flashes of what he can do throwing the football -- even if it comes in garbage time. The Ohio State product is a mid-to-low fantasy QB1 for Week 6 against a strong Denver Broncos defense.

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte desperately needs to bounce back in order to salvage his fantasy value on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills. Boutte caught six passes for 103 yards in Week 1 and then added a touchdown the next week, raising plenty of speculation that he was ready to take on a massive role and could be a strong WR3 in fantasy football. However, he has just four catches over his last three games, looking relatively uninvolved despite a snap share over 70 percent. Time could be ticking for Boutte to get back on track, and it probably won't happen Sunday against the Bills. Buffalo has allowed the sixth-fewest receiving yards and 10th-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025, as well as the 14th-fewest fantasy points to perimeter receivers like Boutte. He can be benched in all leagues and dropped in leagues with 12 or fewer people.
