"An impressive few weeks by the Patriots' receiving corps continued against the Falcons on Sunday, with Stefon Diggs scoring his second touchdown of the season, and DeMario Douglas having the best game of his career, recording four receptions for 100 yards and a score. Kayshon Boutte was also expected to be a big part of the offensive game plan, but suffered a hamstring injury that forced him to leave the game early."
"He has been near the top of the Patriots' list of desirable targets, mainly because of his age and likely availability ahead of Tuesday's deadline. For the most part, adding another weapon to the offense didn't seem as necessary as other positions, like pass rusher, but with Boutte sidelined for the time being, some feel it might be worth it for Mike Vrabel and Co. to explore their options on Shaheed."
Patriots receivers have performed well recently, with Stefon Diggs scoring and DeMario Douglas posting four receptions for 100 yards and a touchdown. Kayshon Boutte suffered a hamstring injury and revealed a grade 1 sprain, creating the possibility he could miss more than one game. Some fans and team observers have suggested pursuing Saints receiver Rashid Shaheed before the trade deadline. Shaheed, 27, has been consistently productive despite quarterback changes and has 44 receptions for 499 yards and two touchdowns this season, making him a comparable and potentially long-term addition to the Patriots' receiving group.
