Two catches in Week 18 Boutte caught two of his four targets for 24 yards in the Patriots' 38-10 win over the Dolphins in Sunday's regular-season finale.

Impact In Boutte's return to action after missing one game due to a concussion, he logged a 58 percent snap share, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com. That workload was actually tops among the Patriots WRs in Week 18, and looking ahead to Sunday's postseason opener against the Chargers, Boutte figures to remain a key target for QB Drake Maye, though the team's tendency to spread the ball around makes him a hit-or-miss fantasy option. On the season, the 2023 sixth-rounder caught 33 of his 46 targets for 551 yards and six TDs in 14 contests.

Cleared for Week 18 Boutte (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Dolphins.

Impact Boutte was limited Wednesday, but worked fully Thursday and Friday and has now been cleared to return to action after being inactive in Week 17. In 13 regular-season contests, Boutte has recorded a 31/527/6 receiving line on 42 targets, a pace that keeps him on the fantasy radar in deeper formats. With Mack Hollins (abdomen) on IR, look for Boutte to step right back into a significant snap share in Week 18, while working alongside fellow WRs Stefon Diggs, Kyle Williams, DeMario Douglas and Efton Chism.

Practices in full Boutte was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Boutte was limited in practice Wednesday and has since shed his non-contact jersey, but the Patriots have not yet officially confirmed whether he's cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. In order to retake the field for Sunday's regular-season finale against Miami, Boutte will need to officially gain full clearance from the concussion protocol, including from an independent neurologist.

Sheds non-contact jersey Boutte (concussion) is practicing Thursday without a red non-contact jersey, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.

Impact Boutte appears on track to practice in full Thursday, but the Patriots haven't yet officially disclosed whether he's cleared the NFL's concussion protocol. In any case, Boutte looks to be trending toward a return to the field during Sunday's regular-season finale against the Dolphins, but to do so he'll need to gain full clearance from the concussion protocol, including from an independent neurologist.

Limited in practice Wednesday Boutte (concussion) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Boutte wasn't able to suit up for New England's blowout win over the Jets in Week 17, but he's making progress ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale against Miami. Of course, in order to retake the field versus the Dolphins, Boutte will first have to fully clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol.

Returns to practice Boutte (head) returned to practice Wednesday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Impact Boutte wore a red, non-contact jersey, indicating that he still has multiple steps to clear in concussion protocol before he can play in a game. He missed Sunday's blowout win over the Jets but could be back for Week 18 against Miami.

Won't play Sunday Boutte (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets.

Impact The same applies to Mack Hollins (abdomen), and in the duo's looming absence, look for Stefon Diggs to lead the Patriots' Week 17 WR corps, with Kyle Williams and DeMario Douglas (hamstring, questionable) -- if available -- in line to see added opportunities. Also in mix will be Efton Chism, while John Jiles, Brandon Smith and Jeremiah Webb are candidates to be elevated from the team's practice squad ahead of Sunday's contest.

Not seen at Friday's practice Boutte (concussion) wasn't spotted at practice Friday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Impact Boutte was also listed as a 'DNP' Wednesday and Thursday, and it looks like the Patriots could be without him and Mack Hollins (abdomen, also absent from Friday's session) this weekend against the Jets. The team's upcoming injury report will reveal whether either player has a chance to be active in Week 17.

Not practicing Wednesday Boutte (concussion) wasn't spotted at Wednesday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Impact Coach Mike Vrabel confirmed Tuesday that Boutte is in the NFL's concussion protocol, with the wideout's absence Wednesday now giving him two more chances to make a practice appearance before the Patriots' Week 17 injury designations are revealed. If Boutte isn't cleared for Sunday's game against the Jets, fellow WR Kyle Williams would be in line for added snaps.

Three Patriots Players Land In Concussion Protocol Before Week 17 Vs. Jets New England Patriots guard Jared Wilson, running back TreVeyon Henderson and wide receiver Kayshon Boutte are all in the concussion protocol...

Concussion confirmed Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel confirmed Tuesday that Boutte is in concussion protocol, Ben Volin of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact Boutte was unable to return to this past Sunday's 28-24 win over the Ravens after checking out of the game in the fourth quarter to be evaluated for a head injury. With Boutte now having been diagnosed with a concussion, he could face an uphill battle to clear the five-step protocol in advance of the Patriots' Week 17 game against the Jets. Boutte's potential absence could free up more playing time out wide for rookie Kyle Williams, who had previously seen his largest snap shares of the season in Weeks 10 and 11 while Boutte was sidelined with a hamstring injury.

Sustains head injury Boutte (head) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Impact Boutte was injured in the fourth quarter. To add insult to injury, he bobbled the ball on the play, allowing the Baltimore defender to knock away what would have been a long catch as they went to the ground. Prior to the injury, Boutte caught one of three targets for 16 yards.

Secures only target Boutte caught his only target for 30 yards in Sunday's 35-31 loss to the Bills.

Impact Boutte was limited to one or zero catches for the first time since Week 9, but he was still able to finish second on the team in receiving yards behind fellow wideout Mack Hollins (41). Boutte has been a real boom-or-bust option this season, finding the end zone in five different contests while also having five performances in which he was limited to 30 or fewer yards. The wide receiver will look to put together a more prolific statline in Week 16 against the Ravens.
