Who Should I Start? Kayshon Boutte or Elic Ayomanor

Tuesday, December 2, 11:08 AM

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte scored his team-leading sixth touchdown of the season in Monday night's win over the New York Giants. Boutte has been an impactful player for New England in his third season, leading the league with 12.7 yards per target. When healthy, the 23-year-old has operated as one of the Patriots' starting wide receivers, leading their wide receiver group in route share (67.3%). Boutte isn't a major target-earner, but he's been an explosive playmaker for breakout quarterback Drake Maye. Boutte and the Patriots head into their Week 14 bye on a high note and will prepare for a big divisional matchup against the Buffalo Bills in Week 15. Boutte is a low-floor, high-ceiling player who could be worth adding off the waiver wire this week to have as a flex option for the rest of the season.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Elic Ayomanor struggled in his first game back after missing a week with a hamstring injury, recording just one catch for five yards on five targets in his team's blowout Week 13 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. On the bright side, Ayomanor has earned at least five targets in six straight games entering his Week 14 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. However, Ayomanor has been unable to turn the solid target volume into consistent production, recording 186 receiving yards and zero touchdowns over that six-game span. The 22-year-old's job won't get any easier in Week 14 against the Cleveland Browns. Entering the week, Cleveland has allowed the third-fewest passing yards (2,327) in the NFL. Ayomanor's stable target share gives him a projectable floor, but he still profiles as a deep-league flex option at best in Week 14.
