Three catches in Week 13
Bourne caught all three of his targets for 39 yards and carried once for six yards in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Colts.
Analysis: Bourne, who was on the field for 46 of the Patriots' 72 snaps on offense in the contest, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, also had a six-yard TD called back due to a penalty. The veteran wideout should maintain a steady workload following the Patriots' Week 14 bye, but his fantasy utility is limited to deeper formats while operating in a passing offense that has leaned heavily on its tight ends of late.

Three catches versus Miami
Bourne caught three of his five targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 34-15 loss to the Dolphins.
Analysis: Bourne was on the field for 41 of a possible 69 snaps on offense in the contest, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, and he's been targeted five times in each of his last two outings. Now that he's moved further past the knee injury that resulted in him starting the season on the reserve/PUP list, Bourne has a chance to continue to produce enough (while working alongside fellow WRs DeMario Douglas and Kayshon Boutte) to merit lineup consideration in deeper fantasy formats.

Best game of season in Week 11
Bourne caught all five of his targets for 70 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-22 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: Bourne had been quiet since returning from a knee injury that cost him the first four weeks of the season, but he bounced back nicely after going without a catch in two of his previous three games. He set a season high in receiving yards and scored his first touchdown of the season on a 10-yard reception in the first quarter. Given the lack of production from New England's wideouts this season, Bourne could have a tough time building on this breakout effort in Week 12 against a tough Dolphins…read more

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…read more

No snaps in Week 10
Though Bourne was active for Sunday's 19-3 win over the Bears, he didn't log any snaps in the contest, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
Analysis: After recording four catches on six targets for 41 yards in the Patriots' overtime loss to the Titans in Week 9, Bourne was the odd man out among the team's wideouts Sunday. While he figures to re-enter the mix in the coming weeks, the veteran is off the fantasy radar unless he reclaims a key role in the New England offense, something that seems unlikely while the team is focused on developing younger WRs like Kayshon Boutte and Ja'Lynn Polk.

Gets more involved
Bourne recorded four receptions (on six targets) for 41 yards in Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Titans.
Analysis: Bourne has slowly seen his snap count tick up since returning from a knee injury Week 5, though his involvement in the offense took its first true leap Sunday. He recorded season-best marks in targets, receptions and yards, while also matching his longest gain of the season with a 14-yard catch late in the second quarter. Bourne missed out on an even bigger day when a 22-yard catch was wiped out by a holding call, but his performances are trending in the right direction.

No catches in Week 8
Bourne logged 52 of a possible 67 snaps on offense in Sunday's 25-22 win over the Jets, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Though Bourne's snap count was his highest since being activated from the PUP list in advance of Week 5 action, he didn't catch any of his three targets Sunday. Regardless of who starts at QB for the Patriots in Week 9 against the Titans, Bourne isn't an enticing fantasy option after managing just a 4-29-0 receiving line on eight targets through his first four outings this season.

One catch versus Jaguars
Bourne was on the field for 37 of a possible 60 snaps on offense in Sunday's 32-16 loss to the Jaguars, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: In his third game since being activated from the PUP list in advance of Week 5 action, Bourne caught one of his two targets for 14 yards. It's possible that as the wideout further distances himself from the knee injury that previously sidelined him, Bourne could see his volume increase as the season progresses, but until that happens, he's off the fantasy radar.

Two catches versus Houston
Bourne caught both of his targets for nine yards in Sunday's 41-21 loss to the Texans.
Analysis: Per Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald, Bourne -- who was activated from the PUP list ahead of Week 5 action -- said last week that it would take a couple of weeks for him to get back to 100 percent as he bounces back from a knee injury, with the wideout's snap count increasing from 16 snaps in his first game back to 34 snaps Sunday. With that in mind, it wouldn't surprise us to see Bourne's playing time continue to rise Week 7 against the Jaguars, but for the time being he's a risky fantasy lineup…read more

Active versus Texans
Bourne (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Analysis: After being activated from the PUP list ahead of Week 5 action, Bourne made his season debut in the Patriots' loss to the Dolphins last weekend, en route to logging 16 of 60 snaps on offense while catching his lone target for six yards. In his second game back from a major knee injury that he suffered Oct. 29, 2023, Bourne could see an uptick in playing time in QB Drake Maye's first NFL regular-season start. However, until the veteran wideout re-establishes a steady role in New England's…read more

Expects to play
Bourne (knee), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans, is expected to play, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.
Analysis: Bourne played just 27 percent of the team's snaps in his 2024 debut last week after missing the first four games following the 2023 October ACL tear. Expect the veteran wide receiver to be more involved in the gameplan this week as the Patriots debut the 2024 No. 3 overall pick, Drake Maye, in his first professional start.

Questionable for Sunday
Bourne (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans after practicing in a limited fashion this week.
Analysis: Given that Bourne was on the reserve/PUP list through Week 4 as he bounced back from a knee injury he sustained Oct. 29, 2023, it's not surprising that the Patriots are easing the wideout back into the mix. We'd expect Bourne to be available to face Houston on Sunday, with confirmation of his status set to arrive once New England's inactives are known ahead of the team's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. After logging a 27 percent snap share in his season debut versus Miami in Week 5, Bourne could see an…read more

Still limited at practice
Bourne (knee) remained limited at practice Thursday.
Analysis: Bourne also was limited Wednesday, but chances are his limitations are maintenance-related rather than indicative of any setbacks with the knee injury that kept him on the reserve/PUP list through Week 4. Friday's injury report will reveal whether the wideout approaches Sunday's game against the Texans with an injury designation or fully cleared for Week 6 action.

Limited practice Wednesday
Bourne (knee) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
Analysis: After being activated from the PUP list Saturday, Bourne made his season debut in the Patriots' Week 5 loss to the Dolphins a day later, playing 16 of 60 snaps on offense while reeling in his lone target for a six-yard receptions. With no reported setbacks with his surgically repaired knee coming out of the game, Bourne's limitations Wednesday are most likely maintenance-related. Assuming that's the case, the wideout should be available against the Texans on Sunday, when he'll likely see his…read more

Quiet season debut Sunday
Bourne brought in his only target for six yards in the Patriots' 15-10 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
Analysis: The veteran wideout made his return to the field following his late-October 2023 ACL tear, but he had a minimal role overall in his taste of game action. Given the Patriots' dearth of reliable pass-catching options, Bourne, who had a 37-406-4 line in eight regular-season games before suffering his injury last season, should quickly see his role in the air attack expand as he develops chemistry with both Jacoby Brissett and Drake Maye.

Active versus Dolphins
Bourne (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: Bourne -- who came off the PUP list Saturday -- is thus set to make his first game appearance since tearing his right ACL on Oct. 29, 2023. In his return to the lineup, it's possible that Bourne will be eased back into the mix, but either way, his presence should provide a needed boost to a New England offense that ranks 31st in the league in scoring (13.0 points per game), per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com. With K.J. Osborn (shoulder) inactive versus Miami, Bourne has an immediate opportunity to step…read more

In line for season debut
Bourne (knee), who was activated off the reserve/PUP list Saturday, is listed as questionable for Sunday's game but is expected to play, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.
Analysis: Bourne was expected to make his season debut Sunday after practicing in limited fashion all week. He'll join a beleaguered Patriots passing attack that has yet to surpass 170 passing yards in any of the four contests this campaign. The veteran receiver quietly had developed into a featured pass catcher last season in a similarly dire passing offense, recording at least two catches in all eight games before going down with a season-ending ACL tear, but it's hard to imagine Bourne significantly…read more

Questionable for Sunday
Bourne (knee), who remains on the reserve/PUP list, is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Analysis: Since the Patriots opened his 21-day window to return from the reserve/PUP list Wednesday, Bourne has been limited in practice as he continues his recovery from the right ACL tear that he sustained Week 8 of last season. Coach Jerod Mayo told Mark Daniels of MassLive.com on Friday that Bourne has displayed "that he's healthy" this week, but the Patriots also are determining whether the wide receiver will take one of the three open spots on their active roster, according to Daniels.

Feels good after first practice
Bourne noted Thursday that he "feels good" and that his knee has responded well to his return to practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: Per Lazar, Bourne, who was limited in his return to practice Wednesday, is on a snap count for the time being. The wideout remains on the reserve/PUP list, and it's unclear at this stage if he'll be activated ahead of Sunday's contest against the Dolphins. Once Bourne returns to the mix, however, he'll have a chance to reclaim a key role in a New England WR corps currently led by DeMario Douglas, Ja'Lynn Polk and K.J. Osborn (shoulder).

Returning to practice
Bourne (knee) is slated to practice Wednesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Bourne, who remains on the PUP list, will thus have his 21-day practice window opened up as the Patriots kick off Week 5 prep. In terms of the wideout's availability for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, head coach Jerod Mayo said that the possibility of Bourne playing this weekend isn't unrealistic, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports. Bourne is nearing the finish line of his recovery from a torn ACL in his right knee, an injury he sustained last October.

Nears return to practice
Bourne (knee) is expected to have his practice window opened this coming week, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Bourne, who is on the PUP list, continues to progress in his recovery from an ACL tear he sustained last October. Assuming he does return to practice this coming week, it remains to be seen how long it will be before he's ready for game action, but barring any setbacks, Bourne will eventually have an opportunity to reclaim a key role in a New England wideout corps currently led by DeMario Douglas, K.J. Osborn and Ja'Lynn Polk.

Making progress
Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo said Monday that Bourne (knee) continues to progress toward making his season debut, though the receiver is without a clear timeline to be activated from the reserve/PUP list, Khari Thompson of The Boston Globe reports. "Yeah, he's making great progress. He's running fast. He looks good in his routes. When he's ready to be out there, he'll be out there," Mayo said of Bourne.
Analysis: Bourne will miss at least one more contest while he continues his recovery from the torn ACL he suffered last October, but it's possible that he could return to practice after the Patriots' Sept. 29 game against the 49ers. Once he's back up to speed, the 29-year-old should reclaim a key role in the team's receiving corps, which has been led by DeMario Douglas, K.J. Osborn and Ja'Lynn Polk through the first three weeks of the season.

Opening season on PUP list
Bourne (knee) is starting the regular season on the PUP list, making him ineligible to play until at least Week 5, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.
Analysis: Bourne meets the same fate as most of the other players that suffered ACL tears last season, unable to make good on his winter optimism that he'd be ready for Week 1. He tore his ACL in Week 8 last year, finishing with a 37-406-4 line on 55 targets and a career-high 50.8 receiving yards per game. There's no guarantee Bourne gets that kind of opportunity once he's ready to play this season, as the Patriots have young wide receivers Ja'Lynn Polk, DeMario Douglas and Javon Baker vying for targets…read more

Still on PUP list
Bourne (knee) remains on the active/PUP list ahead of the Patriots' Aug. 25 preseason finale, Jacob Rousseau and Bill Kochof the Providence Journal report.
Analysis: It remains to be seen when Bourne -- who is bouncing back from a torn right ACL that he suffered last October -- will be able to resume practicing, but as Week 1 approaches, it becomes increasingly plausible that the veteran wideout could start the coming campaign on the PUP list. With the Patriots guided by a new coaching staff and transitioning at the quarterback and wide receiver positions, we suspect that the team will err on the side of caution with Bourne out of the gate this season.

Bourne (knee) will open training camp on the active/PUP list, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Bourne is bouncing back from a torn right ACL that he suffered last October, so it's not especially surprising that he isn't quite ready to practice as training camp opens. Previous reports relayed that Bourne anticipated being ready for Week 1 action, but while he's unavailable, DeMario Douglas, Ja'Lynn Polk, K.J. Osborn, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Javon Baker, Jalen Reagor and Tyquan Thornton are slated to compete for slotting in the Patriots' re-tooled WR corps.

Coach Jerod Mayo said Monday that Bourne (knee) will not participate in OTAs, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.
Analysis: Bourne is working his way back from a right ACL tear that forced him to miss the final nine games of the 2023 campaign, and while he said back in March that he expects to be a "full go" for training camp, it looks like spring activities would be too early a benchmark. That will cost Bourne an early chance to build chemistry with new quarterbacks Jacoby Brissett and Drake Maye, but as long as he's indeed able to get on the practice field for training camp, there shouldn't be real concerns about…read more

Gets only $5.5 million guaranteed
The Patriots have minimal commitment to Bourne (knee) beyond the 2024 season, despite re-signing the receiver Wednesday to a three-year contract worth up to $33 million, Ben Volin of The Boston Globe reports.
Analysis: The deal is loaded with incentives and light on guarantees, with a base value of $19.5 million and only $5.5 million guaranteed at signing. Another $2.5 million becomes guaranteed for 2025 if Bourne reaches 800 receiving yards in 2024, though the Patriots presumably would want to keep him around in that case anyway. The 28-year-old had a career-high 800 receiving yards in 2021, his first season with the Patriots, and he was on pace for 863 yards and eight touchdowns in 2023 until an ACL tear…read more

Re-ups with New England
Bourne (knee) and the Patriots agreed to terms on a three-year deal worth up to $33 million on Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Before suffering a season-ending torn ACL in Week 8 last season, Bourne was easily the Patriots' best receiver. It wasn't a high bar to clear, but it made too much sense to bring Bourne back after he put up a 37-406-4 line on 55 targets across eight appearances. He was on pace for a career year and will head into his age-29 season later this year. Bourne has already stated he expects to be ready for training camp.

Analysis: Bourne is rehabbing from a torn ACL that he suffered in Week 8 of the 2023 season. He was on pace to shatter his personal bests in nearly every statistical category before his campaign was cut short.

Bourne is now scheduled for unrestricted free agency in March, and while he hopes to stay in New England under a new coaching staff, he acknowledged that he's not actually sure what the future will hold.

Should be ready for training camp
Bourne (knee) underwent surgery to repair his right ACL on Wednesday and is expected to be ready for the start of training camp in the coming offseason, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.
Analysis: Bourne, who landed on injured reserve in late October, will miss the rest of the 2023 campaign but is already on the road to recovery. He tallied a 37-406-4 receiving line on 55 targets across the first eight games of the season, while operating as the Patriots' most productive wideout. The 28-year-old is on track to become an unrestricted free agent in the offseason, but New England could have incentive to re-sign him, assuming his recovery goes smoothly.

Diagnosed with torn ACL
Bourne (knee) suffered a torn right ACL during Sunday's loss to the Dolphins, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Bourne was initially hoped to have escaped with a less serious MCL issue, but his MRI results revealed a season-ending injury. The veteran wideout was in the midst of a promising 2023 campaign, having logged back-to-back games with a touchdown prior to his exit Sunday, and his injury is a brutal loss for New England's already thin wide receiver corps.

Set to undergo MRI
Bourne is slated to undergo an on MRI on his right knee Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Per Rapoport, based on the initial diagnosis, the hope is that Bourne is dealing with an MCL injury. If New England's leading receiver is forced to miss time, the team's wideout corps could be shorthanded in Week 9, with DeVante Parker also having left Sunday's game against the Dolphins with a head injury. If both players are out next weekend against the Commanders, Tyquan Thornton and/or Kayshon Boutte would be candidates to suit up after having been inactive versus Miami.

With both Bourne and DeVante Parker (head) having been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest, Demario Douglas, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Jalen Reagor are the Patriots' remaining wide receiver options in Week 8.

Scores first TD since Week 1
Bourne caught six of seven targets for 63 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 29-25 win over the Bills, and he also lost a fumble.
Analysis: Bourne's four-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter was his first trip to the end zone since a two-touchdown performance against the Eagles in the season opener. That play put the Patriots up 22-10 with 7:36 remaining, but after Buffalo responded with a touchdown, Bourne made a critical error on New England's next possession, as he lost a fumble to set the Bills up in Patriots territory.

Big volume in Sunday's loss
Bourne caught 10 of 11 targets for 89 yards in Sunday's 21-17 loss to the Raiders.
Analysis: He also gained four rushing yards on his only carry. Bourne not only led the Patriots in receptions and yards, no other New England wideout hauled in more than one pass or saw more than three targets. The veteran receiver set new season highs in catches and receiving yards as well, and Bourne has been the one semi-consistent option in the team's offense so far, posting a 28-307-2 line on 44 targets through six contests.

Team-high yardage total in loss
Bourne brought in two of five targets for 43 yards in the Patriots' 34-0 loss to the Saints on Sunday.
Analysis: Bourne's modest receiving yardage total led the Patriots on a completely forgettable day for New England's offense, and he also paced the team in targets. The veteran's fantasy outlook remains dim due to its symbiotic relationship with the team's dismal quarterback situation, but Bourne will have a solid matchup on a paper in a Week 6 road matchup versus the Raiders.

Held to 36 yards
Bourne recorded two receptions on three targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 38-3 loss to the Cowboys.
Analysis: Bourne was among a group of five pass catchers with three targets for New England. Opportunity was evenly spread in part because the Patriots were losing in blowout fashion, though Bourne has progressively seen his involvement in the offense decrease. Since his two-touchdown performance in Week 1, Bourne has failed to top 50 receiving yards in each of his next three games.

Four catches in Week 3
Bourne caught four of five targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 15-10 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Bourne tied tight end Hunter Henry for the team lead in targets, and the 28-year-old wide receiver leads New England with 25 targets through three weeks -- seven ahead of second-place Henry. Bourne also leads the team with 14 catches and 139 receiving yards heading into a Week 4 trip to Dallas.

Does little with nine targets
Bourne had four catches on nine targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to Miami.
Analysis: Bourne wound up leading the team in targets, but finished fourth in terms of receiving yardage. The veteran wideout made a valiant effort on one of Mac Jones' few deep pass attempts Sunday, but the ball pulled him out of bounds. The end result was a disappointing follow-up to last week's two-touchdown showing from Bourne. Fantasy managers should expect results somewhere in between his first two games when the Patriots take on the Jets next Sunday.

Two scores in Week 1
Bourne recorded six receptions on 11 targets for 64 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 25-20 loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: Bourne had his path to a significant offensive role cleared with both Tyquan Thornton (shoulder) and DeVante Parker (knee) sidelined for the contest. He commanded 11 targets to lead the team and also hauled in a pair of touchdown receptions from 19 and 11 yards away, respectively. Bourne will face more competition for opportunity at some point this season, but in the short term he could remain the favorite target of Mac Jones.

Could claim key role
With Tyquan Thornton (shoulder) having been placed on IR, Bourne approaches the coming season in a Patriots wideout corps that also features JuJu Smith-Schuster, DeVante Parker and rookies Demario Douglas and Kayshon Boutte.
Analysis: In that context, Bourne has a chance to claim a key role in New England's passing offense out of the gate, though his target volume could fluctuate as long as his fellow key pass catchers (a group that also includes TEs Hunter Henry and Mike Gesicki) remain healthy. Still, after catching 35 passes in 16 games last season, Bourne, who recorded 55 catches in 2021, has an opportunity to see an uptick in production in 2023, and if that happens he could reemerge as a factor in deeper PPR formats.

Three catches Saturday
Bourne caught three of his four targets for 34 yards during Saturday's preseason contest against the Packers.
Analysis: Per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, coach Bill Belichick noted of Bourne on Monday that the wideout "had a good spring. That spring led into having a good training camp. He's done very well in all phases -- played multiple spots, caught the ball well, blocked well."

Hits stride in training camp
Bourne has had some impressive practices in the last week, according to Mike Dussault of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: Dussault notes that Bourne, who turned in strong practices Sunday and Monday, is finding his stride in coordinator Bill O'Brien offense. As the coming season approaches, the 28-year-old Bourne -- who logged a 35-434-1 receiving line in 16 games last year -- appears poised to claim a steady role in a Patriots WR corp that also includes newcomer JuJu Smith-Schuster, as well as returnees DeVante Parker and Tyquan Thornton.

Bourne stood out during Thursday's practice as one of the Patriots' most active wideouts, Phil Perry of NBCsportsboston.com reports.
Analysis: Perry notes that the effort -- which featured Bourne catching three of his four targets, including a toe-tapping grab along the sideline -- followed a relatively quiet start at training camp for the wideout over the first week of practice. As the coming season approaches, Bourne will look to earn a consistent role in a Patriots WR corps that also includes newcomer JuJu Smith-Schuster, DeVante Parker and 2022 second-rounder Tyquan Thornton.

Catches 35 passes this season
Bourne finished the 2022 season with 35 catches on 48 targets for 434 yards and a TD in 16 games to go along with six carries for 39 yards.
Analysis: In his second campaign with the Patriots, Bourne's production took a dip from the 55/800/5 stat line he logged in 2021. The 27-year-old remains under contract with the Patriots next season, but Bourne's chances of a fantasy bounce-back in 2023 hinge on the composition of the team's wideout corps following free agency and the NFL draft. With that in mind, Nelson Agholor and Jakobi Meyers are slated to be free agents this offseason, while DeVante Parker and Tyquan Thornton remain under contract…read more

Bourne was on the field for 28 of a possible 60 snaps in Sunday's 23-21 win over the Dolphins, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, en route to catching one of his two targets for 16 yards and carrying the ball once for two yards.
Analysis: After catching six of his nine targets for a season-high 100 yards and a TD in the Patriots' Week 16 loss to the Bengals, Bourne's role in the team's offense took a hit versus Miami, with Jakobi Meyers (nine targets) and Tyquan Thornton (seven targets) working as Mac Jones' top wideout targets in the contest. Looking ahead the New England's regular-season finale this Sunday against the Bills, Bourne profiles as a hit-or-miss fantasy option.

Garners 129 total yards in loss
Bourne brought in six of nine targets for 100 yards and a touchdown and rushed once for 29 yards in the Patriots' 22-18 loss to the Bengals on Saturday.
Analysis: Bourne was the surprise leader in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon in what was DeVante Parker's second straight absence due to a concussion. Bourne's season-high reception and receiving yardage figures came on the heels of a blanking over just 10 snaps against the Raiders in Week 15, making it all the more surprising. The sixth-year pro's first chance to build on the resurgent effort comes in a Week 17 home matchup against the Dolphins on Sunday, Jan. 1.

Logs 11 snaps Sunday
Bourne was on the field for 11 of a possible 65 snaps on offense in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Raiders, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: In the process, Bourne -- who caught five passes for 47 yards in Week 14 -- didn't haul in his only target. Given that he was out-snapped by Tyquan Thornton (60), Nelson Agholor (54) and Jakobi Meyers (40) on Sunday, Bourne isn't a high-percentage fantasy option for Saturday's contest against the Bengals.

Catches five passes Monday
Bourne was on the field for 42 of a possible 59 snaps on offense in Monday's 27-13 win over the Cardinals en route to catching all five of his targets for 47 yards.
Analysis: The five catches marked a season high for Bourne, whose profile in the Patriots' passing game expanded with Jakobi Meyers (concussion) inactive and DeVante Parker (head) limited to just six snaps in the contest. Bourne's fantasy prospects in Week 15 hinge in large part on the availability of Meyers and Parker, but if neither are cleared for Sunday's game against the Raiders, he could merit lineup consideration in deeper formats.

Analysis: In the process, Bourne caught one of his two targets for 15 yards. With 19 catches for 226 yards (on 26 targets) through 11 games to date, Bourne is off the fantasy radar in all but the deepest of formats while working in a wideout corps that also includes Jakobi Meyers, DeVante Parker, Nelson Agholor and Tyquan Thornton.

Records three catches
Bourne recorded three receptions on four targets for 36 yards in Thursday's 33-26 loss to the Vikings. He also had one rush for minus-seven yards.
Analysis: Bourne got involved in the offense in the fourth quarter as New England attempted to make up a one-score deficit. He hauled in catches of 14 and 17 yards, though the latter came with only 28 seconds left and the Vikings playing prevent defense. Bourne played 38 offensive snaps, but that was in part due to an injury scare for Jakobi Meyers (shoulder), who played a season-low 16 snaps on the night.

Bourne, who was on the field for 24 of a possible 63 snaps on offense in Sunday's 10-3 win over the Jets, caught his only target in the contest for eight yards, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: For the fourth time in his last five games, Bourne recorded just one target, a rate of volume that keeps the 27-year old off the fantasy radar ahead of Thursday's game against the Vikings. Overall, Bourne -- who recorded 55 catches last season -- has caught 15 of his 20 targets for 175 yards through nine contests.

Bourne, who was on the field for 48 of a possible 63 snaps on offense in Sunday's 26-3 win over the Colts, caught three of his four targets for 11 yards in the contest, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: After having recorded just one target in three consecutive games, Bourne -- who also carried once for one yard -- was more involved in the Patriots' passing game Sunday with DeVante Parker (knee) out, but it didn't amount to much fantasy production. With Parker potentially back in action following the Patriots' bye, Bourne's lineup upside remains limited ahead of the team's next contest against the Jets on Sunday, Nov. 20.

Bourne (toe) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jets after practicing fully Friday.
Analysis: Bourne, who didn't play this past Monday against the Bears, logged limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday before practicing fully Friday. The wideout is thus slated to suit up this weekend, though given his 11-156-0 receiving line on 14 targets through six games to date, he's not a high-percentage fantasy option.

Bourne appears to be dealing with a mild case of turf toe, Zack Cox of NESN reports.
Analysis: Turf toe can cause multi-week absences for players, but Bourne's case "doesn't seem that serious," so he might be able to keep playing through it. The wide receiver played just four snaps Week 6 against the Browns before exiting the game, though he remained on the sideline with his teammates.

Analysis: Bourne also rushed once for minus-1 yard Sunday, in a contest in which Jakobi Meyers (7-111-1 on eight targets) was clearly QB Bailey Zappe's preferred WR option. With a 10-139-0 line on 13 targets through five games, Bourne will remain off the fantasy radar in all but the deepest of formats until he starts seeing consistent volume.

Analysis: Though fellow wideout Jakobi Meyers (knee) remained sidelined Sunday, Bourne didn't see heavy volume Week 4, and with the Patriots' QB situation looking cloudy in the short term due to injuries to Mac Jones (ankle) and Brian Hoyer (head), Bourne remains a speculative fantasy option ahead of this weekend's game against the Lions.

Bourne brought in four of five targets for 58 yards and committed a fumble that was recovered by the Patriots in a 37-26 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
Analysis: Even with fellow wideout Jakobi Meyers (knee) sidelined, Bourne couldn't take full advantage. However, after a relatively lackluster first two games, Bourne at least set new season highs in receptions, receiving yards and targets. The veteran wideout posted an encouraging 55-800-5 line across 17 games in his first Patriots campaign in 2021, and perhaps Sunday's improved showing is a sign he'll become progressively more involved as the season unfolds.

Analysis: Bourne was more involved in the Patriots offense Sunday than he was in the team's season opener (two snaps), but until he sees more consistent playing time and targets, he'll be a risky fantasy lineup option.

Until steady snaps and targets come his way, Bourne is off the fantasy radar, though it's quite possible that he'll be more involved in the team's Week 2 contest against the Steelers, with his workload this coming Sunday thus worth monitoring.

Coach Bill Belichick said Bourne "wasn't available" for Friday's preseason game versus the Panthers, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
Analysis: Bourne wasn't involved in pregame warmups and wasn't in uniform for the Patriots' second exhibition. His current standing on the team may stem from being ejected from a joint session with the Panthers earlier this week, but he also recently was relegated to the second-team offense in practice, per Cox.

The 26-year-old, who is signed through 2023, once again should be joined by Jakobi Meyers (a pending restricted free agent) and Nelson Agholor (signed through 2022), but how the team's WR depth chart will look beyond that trio remains to be seen.

Bourne also logged multiple rush attempts for the second time in the last three games, and his role as a rusher has expanded some in the second half of the season.

It's still probably no better than 50/50, and the Pats also have other issues at wide receiver with Nelson Agholor (head) and N'Keal Harry (head) both getting banged up during Saturday's loss to Indianapolis.

Lands on COVID list
Bourne (undisclosed) has been placed on the reserve/COVID 19 list, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: With Nelson Agholor (head) having suffered a head injury during Saturday's game against the Colts, N'Keal Harry (undisclosed) possibly banged up and Bourne now on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Jakobi Meyers and Gunner Olszewski are the Patriots' top available WR options who are free of any Week 16 availability concerns.

No targets in windy win
Bourne was not targeted during Monday's 14-10 win over the Bills. He did have one carry for three yards.
Analysis: Bourne posted a two-touchdown, 61-yard performance against the Titans prior to being shut out against Buffalo, a game which was played in extremely windy conditions and saw the Patriots offense lean on its running game almost every snap. In fact, quarterback Mac Jones attempted just three passes in the divisional win. After the team's Week 14 bye, Bourne will get a chance to bounce back on the road in Indianapolis.

Two TDs in Week 12 win
Bourne caught five of six targets for 61 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 36-13 win over the Titans.
Analysis: Bourne scored a four-yard touchdown in the first quarter, but most of his damage came on a 41-yard touchdown grab in the third. New England's offense tends to rotate its featured options on a weekly basis, but Bourne has emerged as the top scoring threat among the team's wide receivers. Bourne's five receiving touchdowns rank second behind tight end Hunter Henry's seven, and Nelson Agholor (three) is the only other player on the team with more than one. Building on this effort won't be easy for…read more

Team-high receiving yardage tally
Bourne secured all four of his targets for 42 yards in the Patriots' 25-0 win over the Falcons on Thursday night. He also rushed once for seven yards.
Analysis: Bourne's yardage total narrowly outpaced that of Nelson Agholor's (40) for the team lead. The 26-year-old now has at least four receptions in four of the last five contests, and he's become an increasingly reliable target for rookie quarterback Mac Jones with a catch rate that now sits at an impressive 78.7 percent. Bourne's next opportunity to add to his numbers comes in a Week 12 home matchup a week from Sunday against a Titans defense that's been very generous to wide receivers all season.

Leads team in receiving
Bourne caught four passes for 98 yards and one touchdown on four targets against Cleveland on Sunday.
Analysis: Nelson Agholor (two catches for 21 yards on four targets) has played more than Bourne this year, with the latter mostly playing in three-wide formations. However, production like Sunday's might force the Patriots to reconsider how they distribute playing time among their wide receivers. Agholor has more speed to offer than Bourne, who doesn't have much himself, but the former is much less adept in traffic. The playing time split between Bourne and Agholor is worth monitoring as the Patriots…read more

Leads receiving unit with 34 yards
Bourne caught three of four targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 24-6 win over the Panthers.
Analysis: The Patriots led comfortably for the majority of this contest, so the air attack wasn't asked to do much overall. Bourne ended up leading all wideouts in targets, receptions and yardage. The veteran wideout has posted a couple of strong statistical games this year, but his upside is generally capped by a conservative offensive gameplan. Bourne and the Patriots will face a stiff test against the Browns' tough pass defense in Week 10.

Catches four passes Sunday
Bourne caught four of his seven targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Chargers.
Analysis: Per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, Bourne's 23 snaps in the contest were a season low, as he mostly stayed on the sideline after a third-quarter fumble. He'll look to bounce back this week against the Panthers, but with Jakobi Meyers, Nelson Agholor and N'Keal Harry also in the team's wideout mix, Bourne's weekly production could be sporadic.

Active against Chargers
Bourne (shoulder) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Analysis: Bourne, who practiced in a limited fashion this week, will give it a go Sunday, but he profiles as a hit-or-miss fantasy option, while sharing the Patriots' wide receiver looks with Jakobi Meyers, Nelson Agholor and N'Keal Harry, to a lesser degree. In last Sunday's 54-13 win over the Jets, Bourne - who is averaging four targets and 50 receiving yards a game to date -- caught all four of the passes thrown his way for 68 yards, while adding a 25-yard TD toss to Agholor.

Listed as questionable for Sunday
Bourne (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers after practicing in a limited fashion this week.
Analysis: That said, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald relayed Friday that Bourne is expected to be available this weekend. Official confirmation of the wideout's Week 8 status will arrive upon the release of the Patriots' inactives prior to Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff, but it looks like Bourne -- who caught all four of his targets for 68 yards last weekend in a win over the Jets -- is trending toward active status.

Limited by shoulder injury
Bourne was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice due to a shoulder injury, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
Analysis: Cox notes that Bourne fell on his shoulder on his 46-yard reception in this past Sunday's win over the Jets, but so far there's nothing to suggest that the wideout's Week 8 status is in danger. That said, Bourne will presumably need to practice fully Thursday or Friday in order to head into Sunday's game against the Chargers minus an injury designation.

Tosses TD pass Sunday
Bourne logged 41 of a possible 76 snaps on offense in Sunday's 54-13 win over the Jets, en route to catching all four of his targets for 68 yards, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Bourne's Week 7 fantasy stat line was bolstered by a 25-yard touchdown pass that he threw to Nelson Agholor to open the scoring in what turned into a blowout. Though seven contests this season, Bourne -- whose only catch Week 6 resulting in a 75-yard score -- is averaging four targets per game, a context that makes him a hit-or-miss lineup option heading into New England's Week 8 road tilt against the Chargers.

Hauls in long TD in wild loss
Bourne caught one of two targets for a 75-yard touchdown in Sunday's 35-29 overtime loss to the Cowboys.
Analysis: In a wild back-and-forth contest, Bourne was involved in maybe the two wildest plays of all. On the first ball Mac Jones threw his way, Bourne let the pass tip off his fingers straight to Trevon Diggs, who returned it 42 yards for a TD that put Dallas ahead 26-21. On New England's very next possession, Jones looked Bourne's way again, and this time the receiver hung onto the ball between two defenders before racing to the end zone for what proved to be the final points of the game for the Pats.…read more

Analysis: Bourne logged 32 of a possible 64 snaps on offense in the contest, while Jakobi Meyers was out there for 58 snaps and Nelson Agholor saw action on 43 plays. Prior to Sunday's modest statistical effort, Bourne had caught 11 of 13 targets for 154 yards and a TD over his previous two outings.

Catches all five targets
Bourne logged 36 of a possible 59 snaps on offense in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Buccaneers, en route to catching all five of his target for 58 yards, NESN's Zack Cox reports.
Analysis: Bourne, who opened the season with two modest efforts, now has 11 catches on 13 targets for 154 yards and a TD over his last two games. While Jakobi Meyers (27 catches for 246 yards to date) has emerged as QB Mac Jones' favorite target, Bourne's recent chemistry with the rookie signal-caller suggests that he could maintain PPR utility Week 5 with what looks like a favorable matchup versus Houston on tap.

Posts big game in losing effort
Bourne had six receptions (eight targets) for 96 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-13 loss to the Saints.
Analysis: Bourne broke out in a big way after posting just three receptions for 17 yards over the first two games of the season. A big reason for the uptick in production was Mac Jones' inability to connect with top target Nelson Agholor (two catches on eight targets), who had to deal with the return of shutdown corner Marshon Lattimore (hand). Bourne remains third on the wide receiver depth chart, so fantasy managers shouldn't overreact to this huge performance. Up next is a matchup with the Buccaneers…read more

Two catches in Week 2
Bourne caught two of his three targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 25-6 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Bourne, who was out there for 31 of the team's 58 snaps on offense, was once again out-snapped by fellow WRs Jakobi Meyers (52) and Nelson Agholor (50), en route to his second straight three-target contest. Down the road, there will be games where Bourne is more involved in the team's passing game, but for now he profiles as a complementary option in an offense that spreads the ball around.

Analysis: Bourne was out-snapped by fellow WRs Jakobi Meyers (74) and Nelson Agholor (64), en route to catching one of his three targets for 17 yards. Though he'll no doubt have weeks where he's more involved in the team's passing game, steady volume may be hard to come by for him with RB James White and TEs Jonnu Smith and Hunter Henry also commanding their share of targets on a weekly basis.

Logs 31 snaps Thursday
Bourne caught one of his two targets for 23 yards in Thursday's 35-0 preseason win over the Eagles.
Analysis: Per NESN's Zack Cox, Bourne logged 31 snaps in the contest, while Jakobi Meyers and Nelson Agholor "got the starting wideout treatment, playing 15 and 14 snaps, respectively." Cox also noted that the trio look "like sure bets to be the Patriots' top receivers this season." In that context, Bourne could emerge as a fantasy factor in deeper formats, though it must be noted that New England's attack could well feature a run-heavy approach and plenty of two-TE sets, a scenario that could make…read more

Looks to cement role
In his latest 53-man roster projection, Paul Perillo of the Patriots' official site predicts that Jakobi Meyers, Nelson Agholor, Bourne and Gunner Olszewski will head the team's wideout corps out of the gate.
Analysis: Perillo's projection supposes that N'Keal Harry, who's had a strong training camp to date, remains a candidate to be dealt, though that's not a lock to occur if the 2019 first-rounder continues his strong play. Either way, Bourne -- who signed a three year, $15 million contract with New England this offseason -- seems destined for a key role in New England's passing attack in 2021, with his ability to line up outside or in the slot an asset in that regard. That said, steady volume may be an…read more

Could see work in slot
Bourne has an opportunity to emerge as the Patriots' top slot option with Julian Edelman having retired, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
Analysis: Like fellow free-agent acquisition Nelson Agholor and returnee Jakobi Meyers, Bourne has the versatility to line up outside or in the slot. Edelman's departure following a productive stint with the Patriots that began in 2009 sets the stage for a revamped wide receiver depth chart in New England this coming season. As things stand, Bourne -- who logged a 49-667-2 stat line in 15 games for the 49ers in 2020 -- is in line to be a key target for Cam Newton. If Agholor is deployed as a deep threat…read more

The Patriots and Bourne agreed to terms on a three-year, $22.5 million contract Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: On the first day of the legal tampering period, New England has restocked its receiving corps with the additions of Bourne, wideout Nelson Agholor and tight end Jonnu Smith. Bourne's versatility should allow him to stay on the field regularly, and he's coming off career bests in catches (49), receiving yards (667) and targets (74) with the 49ers in 2020.

The 2017 undrafted free agent is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent for the first time, following a 2020 campaign in which he posted career highs for targets (74), catches (49), receiving yards (667), yards per catch (13.6) and yards per target (9.0).

Bourne finished the 202 season with 49 receptions (74 targets) for 667 yards and two touchdowns over 15 contests.
Analysis: The 49ers had high hopes for their trio of high-round picks entering the 2020 season, but just like most things last calendar year, nothing went as planned.

Big drop in playing time
Bourne logged just 19 snaps on offense (34 percent) Saturday, catching his lone target for 16 yards in a 20-12 win over Arizona.
Analysis: The 49ers featured a heavy rushing gameplan against the Cardinals, resulting in just 22 pass attempts, with only four going toward wide receivers. Bourne also saw his playing time decrease as a result of George Kittle coming off injured reserve, as the team ran more formations with two tight ends and two or fewer wideouts on the field. Two of San Francisco's top three pass catchers are arguably its tight ends (Kittle and Jordan Reed), so Bourne -- who is currently the team's slot man -- may…read more

Bourne logged 42 offensive snaps (50 percent) and hauled in all four of his targets for 86 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-33 loss to Dallas.
Analysis: Bourne made an impressive leaping grab above a sea of Dallas defenders on a 49-yard heave by C.J. Beathard on the final play of the contest. The score had no effect on the final result, but garbage time or not, the end result was a new season high in receiving yards for the veteran wideout.

Bourne caught three of seven targets for 42 yards during Sunday's 23-15 loss to Washington.
Analysis: Deebo Samuel (hamstring) was injured on the second play from scrimmage, leaving Bourne to pick up the slack in the passing game. He finished second on the team in targets but caught less than half the balls thrown his way and finished with rather modest production. If Samuel is forced to miss next Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Bourne could again see some extra targets.

Bourne caught four of five targets for 26 yards during Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Saints.
Analysis: Bourne finished third on the team in both targets and receptions, though his average of 6.5 yards per catch was nothing to write home about. He was on the reserve/COVID-19 list in the days leading up to the game, but he displayed no ill effects after taking the last couple of weeks to recuperate.

Bourne recorded eight receptions on 10 targets for 81 yards in Week 8 against the Seahawks.
Analysis: Bourne showed a connection with Nick Mullens during the fourth quarter, racking up 59 of his 81 yards on the team's final two drives. He was able to command a season-best eight targets in the absence of Deebo Samuel (hamstring) and George Kittle (ankle). Game script also aided Bourne's output, as the team was playing from behind throughout the entire second half.

Bourne did not have a reception (one target) in Sunday's 33-6 victory over the Patriots.
Analysis: The 49ers turned in a performance reminiscent of its run to the Super Bowl in 2019 where the ground game and defense dominated the opponent so effectively that they barely needed to pass. This game script affected Bourne the most, as he was left without a reception for the first time this season despite being on the field for 45 percent of the team's offensive snaps.

Analysis: Bourne finished third in receptions, targets and yardage for the 49ers while playing 56 percent of offensive snaps in a game where the passing offense returned to life. The 25-year-old also appears to be firmly entrenched at third on the wide receiver depth chart behind Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk, which lowers the cap on his already limited fantasy value. Bourne likely will have to find the end zone in order to provide fantasy value against the Patriots on Sunday.

The negative news for the veteran wideout is that he moved to third on the depth chart (66 percent of offensive snaps) with both Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk fully healthy and on the field together for the first time this year.

Analysis: Bourne's six targets actually led all San Francisco wideouts, but in true Kyle Shanahan style, a running back and tight end surpassed his target share. The veteran wideout has had a steady floor through four games, but the lack of touchdowns has hurt the potential for fantasy value. The return of Deebo Samuel (foot) and the emergence of rookie Brandon Aiyuk could end up cutting into Bourne's production going forward.

Bourne now has eight receptions for 130 yards on 11 targets in the last two games, and with Deebo Samuel (foot) not likely to return until Week 5, Bourne should see another starting opportunity in a Week 4 Sunday night matchup against the Eagles.

Leads team in receiving
Bourne had four catches (five targets) for 67 yards in Sunday's 31-13 win over the Jets.
Analysis: With Deebo Samuel (foot) still on IR, Bourne stuck as the club's top producer on the outside even with the debut of rookie Brandon Aiyuk. The 49ers were hurt by a slew of lower-body injuries sustained during Week 2, so this offense may look completely different while down two key running backs and, most likely, its starting quarterback. This could lead to more passing volume for Bourne and San Francisco's other top receiving options even with backup Nick Mullens under center, as Mullens proved…read more

Catches two of five targets
Bourne caught two of five targets for 34 yards during Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Cardinals.
Analysis: With injuries mounting in the wideout room, Bourne saw an uptick in playing time in the season opener. He tied for the team lead in targets and made a couple of impressive gains, but he simply didn't see enough usage to post fantasy-friendly numbers. Bourne should see his share of targets next Sunday against the Jets, but he could be fairly reliant on big plays to make a splash.

Listed as starter
Bourne is listed as a starter on the unofficial depth chart released by San Francisco on Wednesday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Bourne's standing above rookie first-round pick Brandon Aiyuk (hamstring) could be attributed in part to veteran deference, but it's worth noting that neither Aiyuk or Deebo Samuel (foot) can be considered a lock for Week 1. If any combination of Samuel and Aiyuk were forced to sit out Sunday's contest against the Cardinals, Bourne would certainly see increased work, and the depth chart has him ahead of both Trent Taylor and Dante Pettis. Bourne showcased a knack for the red zone in 2019, with…read more

Hoping for extension
Bourne and the 49ers have discussed a contract extension, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Bourne is signed to a second-round restricted free agent tender for 2020, scheduled to pay him $3.26 million. The 2017 UDFA has never been much of a fantasy asset, but he did solid work for the Niners as a No. 3 receiver the past two seasons, averaging 7.7 yards on 110 targets while primarily operating from the slot. Bourne could see an uptick in usage early this season if Deebo Samuel is slow to recover from June foot surgery.

Signs RFA tender
Bourne signed his restricted free agent tender Monday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: San Francisco will pay Bourne $3.26 million in 2020 after tendering him at the second-round level last month. The wideout tallied 30 receptions for 358 yards and five touchdowns while playing a full 16-game slate last season.

Getting second-round tender
The 49ers are giving Bourne a second-round tender, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The draft pick protection will be more than sufficient to dissuade any offer sheets for the restricted free agent. Bourne did solid work out of the slot last season, but he won't necessarily be guaranteed the same job in 2020. His role depends on what the Niners do this offseason, starting with impending free agent Emmanuel Sanders.

Finishes season with 42 yards
Bourne caught two of four targets for 42 yards in a 31-20 loss to Kansas City in the Super Bowl.
Analysis: Bourne played 48 percent of the snaps on offense and also got some work (eight snaps) on special teams. His 26-yard gain late in the third quarter helped set up a touchdown for Raheem Mostert, who plunged in from one yard out to give the Niners a 20-10 lead. Bourne consistently served as the 49ers' No. 3 wide receiver throughout the 2019 season, but the role typically doesn't require a ton of snaps or targets, as coach Kyle Shanahan favors two-back formations (with fullback Kyle Juszczyk) over…read more

Catches one pass
Bourne caught his lone target for a six-yard gain in Sunday's 37-20 win over Green Bay in the NFC Championship Game.
Analysis: Bourne played a key role the previous week but was limited to a 25 percent snap share in Sunday's blowout victory. He's locked in as the 49ers' No. 3 wide receiver ahead of a Super Bowl matchup with the Chiefs.

Scores first career postseason TD
Bourne caught three of five targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 27-10 NFC divisional-round victory over Minnesota.
Analysis: Bourne's three catches tied Deebo Samuel for the team lead in receptions, but the former was the only receiver to hit paydirt. It's tough to take away a whole lot from the 49ers' passing attack in this one, as the team played with the lead for the final three quarters and ran the ball 71 percent of the time. The 6-foot-1 wideout does offer upside in terms of his red-zone skills, as he now has six touchdowns on just 33 receptions this season, but he remains a cheap flyer in DFS formats heading…read more

Finishes season with five scores
Bourne had 30 receptions for 358 yards and five touchdowns in 16 games this season.
Analysis: Bourne started the year as a reserve, but injuries and improved play by the wideout boosted him to third on the depth chart to finish the season. His production was mainly touchdown-dependent, which kept the 23-year-old out of the fantasy picture for the most part. Bourne will enter the 2020 season as a restricted free agent, and his play during the playoffs could influence whether the club elects to keep him around for a fourth year.

Gains 29 yards in win
Bourne had two catches (three targets) for 29 yards in Saturday's 34-31 win over the Rams.
Analysis: Bourne didn't have a strong fantasy day, but his 16-yard reception on a crucial third-and-16 on the game's final drive helped propel the 49ers to victory. The 24-year-old has taken a stranglehold of the third spot on the wide receiver depth chart, although that role in San Francisco's offense doesn't provide much in terms of volume. Bourne will need to find the end zone -- like he did against Seattle back in Week 10 -- in order to have fantasy value Sunday against the Seahawks.

Just 11 yards in loss
Bourne had one catch (two targets) for 11 yards in Sunday's 29-22 loss to Atlanta.
Analysis: Bourne saw even fewer looks than usual and was unable to get in the end zone to supplement his fantasy value as in previous weeks. Duds like these are the risk with the 24-year-old as the fourth option in the passing game on a power-run offense. Bourne remains a deep-league option largely dependent on scoring heading into a Week 16 matchup with the Rams.

Scores twice on three catches
Bourne caught three of four targets for 18 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 48-46 win over the Saints.
Analysis: Bourne's strong fantasy line was buoyed by a pair of TD grabs, bringing his season total up to a new career high of five through 13 games. The 24-year-old's nose for the end zone isn't a fluke, as his size (6-foot-1) makes him an ideal target on the outside when stacked up against his fellow wideouts, who all check in under six feet. Bourne maintained his spot as third on the wide receiver depth chart -- 57 percent of the offensive snaps -- but he doesn't garner enough targets (he's averaging…read more

Holds onto No. 3 receiver role
Bourne caught all three of his targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: The 24-year-old's 42 yards actually paced all San Francisco receivers on a day when the rushing attack led the charge. Deebo Samuel has emerged as the starter opposite deadline acquisition Emmanuel Sanders, but Bourne has surpassed both Marquise Goodwin and Dante Pettis (knee) as the No. 3 receiver on the depth chart. Bourne is still a touchdown-dependent fantasy asset however, as he has surpassed 50 yards receiving just once this season (three catches for 69 yards back in Week 7). He should be…read more

Two catches in SNF win
Bourne caught both of his targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 37-8 win over Green Bay.
Analysis: Bourne technically outproduced Emmanuel Sanders (one catch for 15 yards), but the latter played a starter's share of snaps (67 percent) compared to the former's 50 percent. The 24-year-old only appears to gain value when the 49ers' receiving corps isn't at full strength, and it was as close to full go as it has been in some time Sunday. Sanders (ribs) and George Kittle (knee/ankle) figure to only get healthier down the stretch, limiting Bourne's fantasy appeal heading into a Week 13 matchup…read more

TD streak continues
Bourne caught four passes on six targets for 31 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-26 win over the Cardinals.
Analysis: Emmanuel Sanders (ribs) was able to start the contest but was clearly limited physically, which allowed Bourne to remain involved in a pseudo-starting role. The 24-year-old responded with his third consecutive game with a receiving touchdown. Undrafted in 2017, the wideout has proven to be more reliable than receivers on the team with a higher pedigree, keeping him in the top three on the wide receiver depth chart ahead of the likes of Dante Pettis and Marquise Goodwin. Bourne's 6-foot-1 frame…read more

Scores another touchdown
Bourne caught four of eight targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 27-24 overtime loss to the Seahawks.
Analysis: Bourne started the game with a 10-yard touchdown catch to cap San Francisco's second drive, giving him scores in back-to-back outings. However, after that point, he endured a couple of drops, including one that he tipped for a Seahawks interception. This all came on a night fellow wideout Emmanuel Sanders was forced into an early exit due to a rib injury and tight end George Kittle (knee/ankle) didn't suit up at all. Despite his inconsistency, Bourne trailed only rookie Deebo Samuel in the…read more

Scores on lone catch
Bourne was targeted just once, but he caught that pass for a seven-yard touchdown in Thursday's 28-25 win over Arizona,
Analysis: Bourne played less than a third of the team's offensive snaps for the sixth time through eight games this season. The touchdown was a positive for the 24-year-old -- and his 6-foot-1 frame does make him a decent red-zone target -- but it's tough to provide fantasy value as the fourth wideout on the depth chart. Bourne should not be a waiver target heading into a Week 9 matchup against the Seahawks.
