Kayshon Boutte Fantasy Football Outlook (2026)

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Sun, Sep 6th 2026, 4:12pm EDT

Kayshon Boutte lands with the Houston Texans and should serve as their field stretcher and the wide receiver who is playing in two-wide sets with Nico Collins. Last year, Boutte was the WR47 in fantasy points per game, with five games in weekly fantasy scoring as a top-24 option. Among 109 qualifying receivers, he ranked 48th in separation score and 44th in route win rate (per Fantasy Points Data). Among that same sample of receivers, he ranked fourth in aDOT (17.5) while drawing a 10.9% target share with 39.4 receiving yards per game, 1.56 yards per route run, a 14% first-read share, and 0.076 first downs per route run. Boutte will be a matchup-dependent flex this season, likely filling a similar role with Houston, but there's upside for more in 2026 if C.J. Stroud can recapture any of his rookie season magic.
