Who Should I Start? Kayshon Boutte or Isaiah Bond

Friday, November 7, 1:23 PM

New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel announced on Friday that wide receiver Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) will not play this Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 10 action, per Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald. This was the expectation after Boutte missed practice all week following a hamstring injury he picked up early in last Sunday's win over the Atlanta Falcons. Before the injury, the 23-year-old was on a three-game touchdown streak, so he's worth stashing in fantasy leagues if you have the room. Boutte already has a career-high five touchdown catches and has contributed 23 receptions for 431 yards on 31 targets through nine games in his third NFL season. With Boutte sidelined this weekend, Stefon Diggs will operate as the clear No. 1 wideout, with DeMario Douglas and Mack Hollins also in line for more targets. Rookies Kyle Williams and Efton Chism III will be looking for more snaps as well.

Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Isaiah Bond (foot) will miss Sunday's game against the Jets with a foot injury sustained in the team's Week 8 loss to the Patriots. Following a Week 9 bye, Bond has yet to return to practice and was ruled out of action on Friday. Since accumulating a season-high 58 yards on three catches in Week 4, Bond has made only four catches over his past four games and has been blanked from the stat sheet in the last two. Anyone still holding onto him in redraft leagues can drop him without reservation, and a similar move needs to be at least considered in dynasty leagues, depending on available options on waivers.
