Kayshon Boutte has 15 receptions on 23 targets for 194 yards (12.9 YPR) with a 1-year, $3.7M contract. He lines up outside 73% this year and 86% career-wide; he's a deep threat with 7 targets 20+ yards downfield and an average depth of target exceeding 14 yards. The source identifies him as a realistic trade target available at a cheap cost, particularly given his recent playoff experience and the Texans' potential willingness to trade him.

When the Texans acquired Boutte in August, it seemed an ideal landing spot after he was squeezed out of the Patriots rotation, with Houston having lost Jayden Higgins for the season and Tank Dell's return in question. Boutte ramped up quickly with snap shares of 73% and 69% in Weeks 2-3 while Nico Collins tended to a hamstring injury, managing 62% and 59% in the next two games with Collins in the lineup. However, production was lacking as Boutte fell between 21 and 38 yards in each of his first five games. In Week 6, the Texans acquired Marvin Harrison Jr., who played 19% of snaps in his first game but that number will continue to rise. Boutte played fewer snaps than both Jaylin Noel and Xavier Hutchinson, with Noel turning himself into a playmaker. Tank Dell is expected to be active in Week 7, further limiting Boutte's role. He was once hoped to stick as the team's WR2 but is now looking at WR6 on the depth chart.

Boutte made good catches this week, especially over the middle, and looks like he's quickly getting comfortable with the offense; his versatility is showing up in how the Texans use him. Waldman defends Boutte against superficial analysis, noting he and Noel are not getting open—they are lesser priorities in the progressions and C.J. Stroud doesn't have time to always get to Boutte unless he's the first read or there's a successful scramble. Waldman expects Marvin Harrison Jr.'s arrival will likely mean the Texans will force-feed Harrison to justify their investment, while Boutte will be a role player unless there's a significant injury.
