2024 Fantasy Outlook
Bourne re-signed with New England as a free agent this spring, deciding to stick around under a new coaching staff. During his seven-year career, Bourne played his best football with the Patriots over the last three season. In 2021, he gad 925 yards from scrimmage and five touchdowns. After a down year in 2022, Bourne came back strong last season with 406 yards and four touchdowns before suffering an ACL tear in Week 8. He'll now focus on rehab ahead of his age-29 season, hoping to regain a starting spot in a WR group that added veteran K.J. Osborn and rookies Ja’Lynn Polk and Javon Baker this offseason. The Patriots still lack a clear top target, but their WR depth looks a bit better than in Bourne's previous seasons, potentially leaving him with less volume even if he makes it back for Week 1 and claims a top-three role in an offense that will have either Drake Maye or Jacoby Brissett under center.

RANKS
Expected to get snaps Week 11
When asked Friday, coach Jerod Mayo said Bourne will play Sunday against the Rams, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Bourne was active last Sunday against the Bears but didn't play a single offensive snap after he posted a 4-41-0 receiving line the previous week versus Tennessee. Mayo said Bourne had a "good week of practice." per Mark Daniels of MassLive.com. Kayshon Boutte ran a position-high 29 routes versus Chicago last week, followed by DeMario Douglas (18), K.J. Osborn (16) and Ja'Lynn Polk (10). Osborn has been on and off the inactive list throughout the season, so perhaps Bourne takes his spot once again.

2018
After recording a 55-800-5 receiving line in his first season with the Patriots in 2021, Bourne dipped to 35 catches (on 48 targets) for 434 yards and a touchdown in 16 games to go with six carries for 39 yards in 2022. Bourne, who turns 28 in August, is entering the final year of his contract with New England, with his chances of a fantasy bounceback this fall hinging on earning steady snaps in an offense that will be under the guidance of new offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien. Bourne will be competing for playing time with JuJu Smith-Schuster, DeVante Parker and Tyquan Thornton, and when all four are healthy, Bourne's weekly volume figures to fluctuate, with TEs Hunter Henry and Mike Gesicki also in the mix to log their share of targets.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Stays put despite trade chatter
Teams were interested in acquiring Bourne before the trade deadline Tuesday, but the Patriots opted not to trade him, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Bourne has seen his role tick up in the New England offense after beginning the season on the PUP list. He became a favorite target of Drake Maye in Week 9, earning a season-best nine targets. That may have been enough to convince the Patriots to keep Bourne on the roster, and he's also a veteran presence on a depth chart otherwise dominated by inexperienced young players.
