Who Should I Start? Tyler Boyd or Kayshon Boutte

The Nashville Post's John Glennon writes that it's hard to imagine that Tennessee Titans impending free-agent wide receiver Tyler Boyd will be back in 2025. The Titans believed that Boyd's experience with head coach Brian Callahan from their time with the Cincinnati Bengals would make him a valuable piece of the offense in 2024, but that just didn't come to fruition. The 30-year-old pass-catcher only produced 39 catches for 390 yards and no touchdowns in his 16 games for Tennessee, his lowest totals since 2017, his second year in the league. Boyd was a decent target for quarterbacks Will Levis and Mason Rudolph on third downs, but his lack of production for the Titans this past season will likely lead them to let him walk in free agency this March. In addition to 2024 being a big disappointment, it was also his first season without finding the end zone.

With new head coach Mike Vrabel at the helm, the New England Patriots are open to trading players from the previous coaching staff, sources tell FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz, and one name to watch is wide receiver Kayshon Boutte. The former LSU wideout will turn 23 in May and had 43 catches for 589 yards and three touchdowns on 68 targets over 15 games (13 starts) in his second year in the NFL. The Patriots selected the 22-year-old pass-catcher in the sixth round (187th overall) in the 2023 NFL draft. Boutte only had two catches on seven targets for 19 yards in his rookie campaign in five games played in New England, and although receiver is a position of need for the organization despite the fact that added Stefon Diggs this offseason, it sounds like Boutte is expendable. Even if Boutte isn't traded, expect the Patriots to address their receiver depth in this week's NFL draft.
