Boutte has carved a lead role for New England, flashing Week 1 with 103 yards on 6 catches and Week 2 despite limited targets, scoring from a single grab. With Diggs’ workload monitored and a run-heavy approach led by Stevenson and Henderson, Boutte looks like a clear Week 3 must-add in 10+ team rosters, likely grabbing the No.2 WR slot as Maye’s offense grows.

Offensive balance and Maye’s development limit downside while boosting upside. Boutte’s role could become sustainable if Diggs’ workload remains controlled, making him a high-ceiling but volatile piece in the near term.
