"The New England Patriots made a splash in the offseason when they brought in Stefon Diggs on a three-year contract. The former Viking, Bill, and Texan had immense success throughout his career, with four Pro Bowls and a pair of All-Pros to his name since 2020. From 2018 to 2023, he hit the 1,000-yard mark each season and was on pace to do so again with the Texans last season before tearing his ACL."
"This being the case, after a two-catch rookie season would have had fans scratching their heads a year ago, but he ended 2024 on a high note. 11 catches for 240 yards and two touchdowns came in the final three games of the year. In those three games, his production was 25.6%, 40.7%, and 66.7% of his production, respectively, for the year."
The Patriots signed veteran Stefon Diggs to a three-year deal and added Mack Hollins and third-round rookie Kyle Williams to increase wide receiver depth. Diggs posted consistent 1,000-yard seasons from 2018–2023 and suffered an ACL tear with the Texans last season. Despite those additions and increased competition, Kayshon Boutte has become the team's primary receiver through three games, playing the most snaps of any receiver. Boutte produced a 103-yard Week 1 outing but totaled 44 yards across the next two games. Boutte finished 2024 strongly with 11 catches for 240 yards and two touchdowns in the final three games.
