Who Should I Start? Kayshon Boutte or Isaiah Bond

Friday, October 17, 11:12 AM

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte will look to continue building trust with quarterback Drake Maye this weekend when the team takes on a vulnerable Tennessee Titans defense. Boutte has primarily been an afterthought this season in the Pats' passing game, but has gained 90 or more yards in each of the two outings in which he's garnered five or more opportunities. Teammate Stefon Diggs (chest) is the team's target leader (37), although he hasn't exactly separated himself from the pack by a wide margin. If Boutte can continue progressing, there's a chance he'll develop a solid weekly floor. Fantasy managers can't rely on the 23-year-old as a high-volume option just yet, but he's worth monitoring for a week or two to see if he can build off his Week 6 performance.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Isaiah Bond turned in a quiet outing in a Week 6 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, catching just two of his five targets for nine yards. The rookie wideout will now look to bounce back at home in a Week 7 contest against the Miami Dolphins. Bond has ascended to the WR2 role in Cleveland with Cedric Tillman (hamstring) out, but he has yet to turn that into production on the field, as his best performance is a three-catch, 58-yard outing in Week 4 against the Detroit Lions. The Dolphins have been unable to do much right on defense this season, although they have been decent against receivers, allowing just the 23rd-most fantasy points per game to the position. Bond is a low-end flex play who should probably remain on fantasy benches this weekend.
