Texans trade for WR Kayshon Boutte

Aug 24, 2026

Trade! The Patriots are sending WR Kayshon Boutte to the Texans for safety Jaylen Reed and a draft pick.

Related players: Nico Collins, Jayden Higgins, Jaylin Noel, Tank Dell

Fantasy Impact:

The trade makes a lot of sense for both teams as Boutte was buried on the depth chart in New England when the Pats added Romeo Doubs and A.J. Brown. With Higgins lost for the season for the Texans with a torn ACL, and Dell coming back from a serious knee injury, Boutte could step right in as a deep threat option. Last year, Boutte had 33 receptions for 551 yards and six touchdowns. He should at least be on your fantasy radar.

Josh Jacobs is taking team reps after returning from groin injury.

Fantasy Impact:

The even better news is Jacobs looks fresh, according to the rest of Wood's post. Wood went on to say Jacobs had a good burst in the middle on his inside zone runs. Jacobs is one of a few NFL players who could be subject to discipline by the league and could get suspended. But he seems to back from his groin injury.

Panthers will use committee backfield

Canales: If Chuba Hubbard is good to go, it will be RB by committee (with Jonathan Brooks) in Week 1.

Fantasy Impact:

Hubbard has been dealing with a hamstring injury and is looking to get healthy before the start of the season. It shouldn't be a surprise the team is going to use both backs, but it's possible one emerges as the leader. That's something we'll likely have to wait and see on. For our money, we have Brooks ranked higher on our RB list, but we all know about the major knee injuries over the past three seasons. It looks like Brooks is finally healthy and the team may ease him into a bigger workload early in the season. If he can survive that, Brooks should have more fantasy value for the long term.

Eagles WR Makai Lemon (hamstring) practicing fully

Eagles rookie wide receiver Makai Lemon is making a full return of practice today. Just participated in 7 v 7s.

Fantasy Impact:

Other reports say Lemon was working with the starting offense in the drills, which is what the Eagles had in mind when drafting Lemon in the first round this past spring. Several WRs have stepped up in camp with Lemon out, including Wicks and Cooper. It remains to be seen of Lemon can make a late push and be ready to go as the team's WR2 behind Smith, but it's a good sign he's back practicing fully.
