Who Should I Start? Kendrick Bourne or A.T. Perry

The Athletic's Chad Graff suggests that it could be time for the New England Patriots to move on from wide receiver Kendrick Bourne this offseason, even if he's their top player at their biggest position of need. Bourne missed the start of the 2024 season while recovering from a torn right ACL and caught only 28 passes on 38 targets for 305 yards and one touchdown in 12 games (nine starts) once he returned. With a new coaching regime in town, the Patriots could move on from Bourne, who will be heading into his age-30 season in 2025. New England would save $4.9 million in salary cap space if they cut him before June 1 or $6.3 million if they cut him with a post-June 1 designation. Bourne is under contract with the Patriots through the 2026 season, but it wouldn't be a huge surprise to see this rebuilding organization go in another direction as they completely rebuild their receiving corps.

The Denver Broncos have signed wide receiver A.T. Perry to their practice squad on Tuesday. The 24-year-old was recently released by the New Orleans Saints after spending his rookie campaign with them in 2023. The former sixth-round continued to be a healthy scratch on gameday, so the team eventually decided to move on. Perry hauled in 12 receptions for 246 yards and four touchdowns across 10 games with the Saints last season. He'll be extra depth for the Broncos right now, but could find his way to the active roster at some point. For now, fantasy managers can leave Perry on the waiver wire.
