Kayshon Boutte Not Present for Voluntary Workouts

Tuesday, April 21, 8:53 AM

New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel said that wide receiver Kayshon Boutte is not present this week for the start of voluntary offseason workouts, according to Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. The Patriots and Boutte have been in communication, but the 23-year-old wideout has chosen to stay away from the team after a report surfaced on Monday that Boutte's name has come up in trade talks as he enters the final year of his contract in 2026. The Pats signed former Packers receiver Romeo Doubs in free agency, and they are expected to complete a trade for Philadelphia Eagles pass-catcher A.J. Brown after June 1, making Boutte expendable. Boutte was the Patriots' sixth-round pick in 2023 out of LSU. He only appeared in five games in his rookie campaign, but he's gone over 500 receiving yards in each of the last two seasons, and he scored a career-high six touchdowns in 14 regular-season contests (10 starts) in 2025. If New England does indeed acquire Brown from Philly, Boutte's best chance for a boost in fantasy value will be via a trade to another organization.

Parker Washington Still Undervalued Despite Proven Upside

Monday, May 4, 5:25 AM

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington was perhaps the biggest key to unlocking former first overall pick Trevor Lawrence, and yet that isn't reflected in his current dynasty value. Lawrence was the fantasy QB1 over the final ten weeks of the season, coinciding with a Washington breakout stretch that saw the third-year receiver catch four of his career-high five touchdowns while averaging 12.6 Half-PPR points per game. The Jaguars boast one of the deepest groups of pass-catchers in the league, but with two-way player Travis Hunter in a category of his own, the majority of the passing offense is expected to run through Washington, Brian Thomas Jr., and Jakobi Meyers in 2026. Despite being five years younger than Meyers and topping Thomas in nearly every statistical category in 2025, Washington ranks well below both as RotoBaller's dynasty WR47. The last time the Jaguars took the field, in a Wild Card loss to the Bills, Washington led the team with 10 targets for seven receptions, 107 yards, and a touchdown, and with that sort of week-winning upside in his back pocket, he may be one of the most undervalued assets in the game.
