Who Should I Start? Kayshon Boutte or KaVontae Turpin

Wednesday, November 5, 1:34 PM

New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel said that wide receiver Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) will not practice with the team on Wednesday, per Patriots.com's Evan Lazar. With a DNP to begin the week, Boutte is in danger of missing the Week 10 game in Tampa against the Buccaneers after he injured his hamstring in the Week 9 win over the Atlanta Falcons and was unable to return to the contest. The 23-year-old third-year receiver ended his streak of three straight games finding the end zone as a result, and he failed to catch his only target last Sunday before leaving the game. DeMario Douglas only played 24% of the offensive snaps against the Falcons, but he benefited from Boutte's injury to go for a season-high 100 receiving yards and his third touchdown of 2025 on four catches. Douglas, Stefon Diggs, Mack Hollins, and rookie Kyle Williams would see expanded roles if Boutte is unable to play this weekend.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver KaVontae Turpin has barely been involved over the last few weeks. Turpin was able to produce some decent games in the beginning of the season, but has done nearly nothing lately. Last week, Turpin hauled in one of his five targets for -2 yards in the loss to the Denver Broncos. The return of CeeDee Lamb has pushed Turpin down on the depth chart. The 29-year-old hasn't produced a game with more than 30 receiving yards since Week 3. Turpin shouldn't be considered a viable option heading into the Week 9 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.
