Who Should I Start? Kayshon Boutte or Emeka Egbuka

Wednesday, November 12, 5:20 PM

The New England Patriots have ruled out wide receiver Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) for the Thursday night game against the division-rival New York Jets, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Boutte will miss a second straight game this week after injuring his hamstring in the Week 9 win over the Atlanta Falcons. The 23-year-old's next chance to return to action will come in Week 12 against the Cincinnati Bengals. With Boutte sidelined again, Stefon Diggs, Mack Hollins, and DeMario Douglas should be New England's top receivers in a plus matchup against the two-win Jets, although rookie Kyle Williams, who had a 72-yard touchdown on Sunday, will also be more involved. Diggs has been super efficient and has had a nose for the end zone in his first year with the Pats, but Hollins should also be considered as a sneaky flex option on a short week with Boutte sidelined.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Emeka Egbuka bounced back in a big way during Sunday's game against the New England Patriots. He got the fun started early with a 21-yard touchdown grab on the Bucs opening drive. Egbuka continues to be a focal point on this Bucs offense that is extremely shorthanded. The rookie wideout hauled in six of his 13 targets for 115 yards and a score in the loss. It's unclear if the Bucs will get any reinforcements ahead of their Week 11 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Regardless, Egbuka should remain a big factor in this offense going forward.
