STM Take
Boutte's climb from STTM #68 tier 8 in 2024 to #45 tier 6 in 2025 reflects the Drake Maye OROY-runner-up tier-1 QB jump finally lifting the entire Patriots WR room. The 6th-round draft slot now looks like a smart Patriots scout pick. The 14.9 YPC career profile is high for a slot-plus-Z hybrid; year three with Maye is the breakout case if the role expands.
Boutte was born in New Iberia, Louisiana, attended Westgate, and was a 5-star recruit. He played three years at LSU where he set the SEC single-game receiving yards record (308 vs. Ole Miss in 2020). New England took him 187th overall in the 2023 NFL Draft. Career line is 78 catches for 1,159 yards and 9 TDs across three seasons.
Strengths
- Career 14.9 YPC on 78 receptions; the efficiency profile is real even in a developmental role.
- 23-rank improvement from 2024 to 2025 alongside Maye's STTM #1 QB jump; the trajectory is positive.
Concerns
- 78 career catches across three seasons; the per-game volume is still part-time WR3 territory.
- Recent game log peaks at 16.5 PPR (Wk 8) with multiple sub-5 PPR weeks; the floor games come often.
What to watch: Whether Maye's year-three offense lifts Boutte into a clear WR2 role or whether Stefon Diggs (or a free-agent addition) reclaims the share in 2026.
