Who Should I Start? Kayshon Boutte or Rakim Jarrett

Saturday, December 30, 2:53 PM

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 17 game against the Buffalo Bills. Boutte did not even make the trip with the team to Buffalo. The rookie wideout has appeared in just four games this season, usually as a healthy scratch, so his absence on Sunday shouldn't affect the offense too much. With JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle) also being ruled out for Sunday, the Patriots will continue to rely on Demario Douglas and DeVante Parker to lead their depleted receiving corps.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Rakim Jarrett (quad) is being designated to return from the Injured Reserve list. The team has 21 days to activate him to the 53-man roster. The rookie suffered a quad injury in the Week 11 loss to the San Francisco 49ers and has been out of action ever since. Through the team's first ten games, the 22-year-old caught just four passes on nine targets for 60 yards and rushed once for no gain. That said, he's unlikely to be a factor for the Bucs down the stretch. With Mike Evans and Chris Godwin dominating the targets, it'd be surprising if he sees significant playing time for the remainder of the season or in the playoffs if Tampa Bay gets there.
