The competition for the final wide receiver spot on the New England Patriots roster is heating up as the team evaluates its options. On the surface, Stefon Diggs, Demario Douglas, Kyle Williams, and Kendrick Bourne appear to be the likely candidates, but the emergence of M. Hollands, who has a guaranteed $3.5 million contract, complicates matters. Currently, the tight race is between Kan Booty and Kendrick Bourne, with Booty seemingly gaining an edge due to more interaction with starting QB Josh Dobbs.

In recent practices, Booty has been more frequently targeted by QB Max Mayfield, while Bourne has been working primarily with Dobbs. As the season approaches, it will be crucial to monitor Hollands' recovery from PUP and how it impacts the roster decisions surrounding these competitive wideouts.
