Who Should I Start? Kayshon Boutte or Travis Hunter

Sunday, January 11, 7:38 PM

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) is officially active for Sunday's playoff contest against the Los Angeles Chargers. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity. Boutte was a solid contributor in his role as the No. 2 receiver behind Stefon Diggs throughout the regular season. Over 14 games, he caught 33 passes for 551 yards and a career-high six touchdowns. He'll have a tougher test on Sunday night as he faces a Chargers defense that allowed the ninth-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers during the regular season. DFS players and bettors may choose to stay away from Boutte, as Diggs is the only Patriots receiver who can really be trusted ahead of this tougher matchup.

Jacksonville Jaguars general manager James Gladstone said that wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter's (knee) rehab from a torn LCL is going "as expected," and he will play on both offense and defense next season, according to Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network. Hunter played 67% of the offensive snaps and 36% of the defensive snaps in his first seven NFL games in 2025 before suffering a season-ending knee injury. Wolfe says to expect Hunter to play much more on the defensive side in 2026, which will be a bigger need for the Jaguars. Hunter, the No. 2 overall pick in last April's draft, had surgery on his knee on Nov. 11. The 22-year-old caught 28 of his 45 targets for 298 yards and a touchdown before his injury, but he was starting to see a bigger role right before he got hurt. Hunter should be fully ready for the start of next season, but coming off injury and expected to see less time on offense means that his price tag on draft day will most certainly drop considerably from what it was going into his rookie season.
