Who Should I Start? Kayshon Boutte or Tre' Harris

Friday, December 26, 2:45 PM

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte (concussion) has been ruled out of the team's Week 17 matchup with the Jets after suffering a concussion late in a Week 16 win over the Ravens. Boutte was injured on a controversial deep pass that resulted in no pass interference call, and he will now be held out of at least one more game as he works through the league's concussion protocol. Fellow receiver Mack Hollins (abdomen) has also been ruled out for Sunday, leaving Drake Maye without his two most reliable downfield threats, but potentially putting rookie Kyle Williams in a position to build upon his late-season momentum. Williams caught a critical 37-yard touchdown in New England's comeback win on Sunday night, and he could be in line for his highest snap share of the season with Boutte and Hollins already ruled out, while DeMario Douglas (hamstring) is questionable with a hamstring injury.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Tre' Harris saw his opportunities dwindle in Week 16, as his snap share fell from 85% to 46% following Quentin Johnston's return. While Harris remained efficient with four catches for 54 yards, he is now the third or fourth option in a low-volume passing attack. This Week 17 matchup against the Houston Texans is the worst possible environment for a rotational wideout; the Texans allow the fewest passing yards per game and rank second in completion percentage allowed. With Herbert expected to be under heavy pressure, targets will likely be concentrated among the primary starters or dumped off to running backs. Harris lacks the volume and matchup appeal to be a viable fantasy starter. He is a low-end WR5 and should stay on benches.
