Who Should I Start? Kayshon Boutte or Tre Tucker

New England Patriots third-year wide receiver Kayshon Boutte has continued to impress during training camp, according to Taylor Kyles of Patriots CLNS. Boutte has reportedly been "the most consistent player" in the receiver group this summer and has been dominant in 1-on-1s. The former LSU wideout led all New England receivers in routes run last season, but his situation will be different in 2025 with the team adding veterans Stefon Diggs and Mack Hollins, along with drafting Kyle Williams in the third round. The 2023 sixth-round pick didn't take full advantage of his opportunity and had poor efficiency with a 1.3 yards per route run, but he is turning heads this summer and hopes to secure a role as an outside receiver in offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels' system.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker caught three of his four targets for 24 yards during Sunday's Week 18 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Tucker played just 79.2 percent of offensive snaps in the contest, which was his lowest rate since Week 2. Still, he managed to post his largest reception total since Week 12. Even though the 23-year-old merely delivered modest production, it was a good bounce-back showing from him after he caught just two of eight targets one week earlier. His improved catch rate in Sunday's regular-season finale suggests that he can handle increased opportunities on offense. Moving forward, Las Vegas will likely look to bring in some competition at wide receiver during the offseason, but Tucker has established himself as a reputable target. He's worth holding in dynasty leagues, and he could sneak into the last couple rounds of 2025 drafts in deeper formats.
