Jim Coventry urged drafters to burn their final roster spot on Kayshon Boutte. After finally earning full-time snaps in Week 6 last season, Boutte endured drops but still averaged 5-7 targets. Nobody noticed the late-season surge when New England fell off the radar, yet Boutte quietly posted two 100-yard, 20-point fantasy outings over the final three weeks, flashing real chemistry with rookie quarterback Drake Maye. Third-round pick Kyle Williams offers mild competition, and Coventry believes Boutte has a legitimate shot to emerge as the Patriots’ No. 1 option at essentially zero draft cost.
