I love this kid.
he’s not quite JSN but he’s damn close. Landing spot will have a lot to do with upside, but I have them as 1A and 1B for 2023.

Yeah, that’s the mystery. He’s expected to play this year, so as long as he continues to perform at a high level I’m not sure it matters.

I love this. I now have another WR target, and (hopefully) a later one at that. If he’s available in the 10-13 range I’ll have 2 shots at him. Maybe he’ll fall to 3.01
Appreciate the news. I wonder if he’ll get day 2 draft capital.

I'd rather he be the next Kayshon Boutte. I think the fantasy community has forgotten about hm to some degree and could be a surprise pick in 2nd rounds of dynasty drafts.

He was a YAC monster in 2021 prior to injury. He had a silly 9 TDs in 6 games, and I agree - that he was kind of under the radar with various injuries in 2022 makes him a potential bargain in the 2023 draft & in rookie drafts.
Plus the reported freaky sex thing adds some “character” baggage, which won’t matter much to teams like OAK or DAL and several other teams who’ve ignored character issues in the past.
His physical profile is a lot like JSN at 6’ 205 LBs. He’s a different kind of receiver than JSN though - he’s twitchy and makes defenders miss. He’s also a decent route runner, who can also get deep in an hurry (see: his long receptions of 50+, 60+) and if he lands in the right spot he’s gonna be a very good FF WR.
Dallas would seem to be a likely landing spot - if that happens, playing across from Lamb or out of the slot as the WR2, his FF draft stock should climb into the back end of the 1st.
I will absolutely be looking to take him there (have the 1.10)

You only get to comp to guys from his school. I don't make the rules.
I'm going with somewhere between Reuben Randle and Eddie Kennison with the upside of motivated Dwayne Bowe.
But for real, he does seem like he could be a steal if he's going around the 1.12/2.01 turn. Hopefully it's not another small sample size trap like Terrace Marshall ended up being

Can he have a rookie season like Michael Clayton?

He’s been listed at 6’ forever. Every video I’ve seen and every FF writer has him at 6’. Reputable sites I follow/subscribe to have him at 6’.Most sources list Boutte taller than 5'10", so this is interestingPFN Fantasy Football @PFNFantasy

I’m not sure I’m ready to believe a twitter account with less than 3K follows on this.

There was also an issue in his relationship with the LSU QB…
Not sure of the details but when the QB announced he was returning to LSU, Boutte flipped to head to NFL
Hot Sauce Guy
Footballguy
Also reports of off-field relationship with a staff member?
Whatever. If he lands in a good situation & is there at 2.01 he’s probably going to be on my roster. Kid can play.
Birdie048
Footballguy
I agree that 2.01 or 2.03 he is on my target list.
I thought I recall the "off field" issue was in regards to his missing a game due to the birth of his child, (Sept 2022)
Or are you referring to the Texas A&M rumor of the "Sex Party" he was allegedly involved ??

That’s the one. I hope it scares me leaguemates away.

Kayshon Boutte vs Derek Stingley
Boutte led all of LSU in receiving yards in both 2020 and 2021.
Don’t SLEEP on the LSU WR.
The testing today was a surprise. I'm pretty sure he was a big track star and frankly makes me question one of those red flags I've heard on him which was his commitment level to the game.
Getting a heavy Chiefs day 3 vibe on him.

Maybe someone could have the best of both worlds if he has herpes.

I had hoped for him late 1st… now possible late 2nd?

Footballguy
Think he'll be gone late 1st/early 2nd IMO. I'd still look hard at him with my late 1st.
Boston
Footballguy
Right now (subject to change) I won't take him over any of the other "legit" prospects...could backfire but I generally avoid this type of prospect unless I know the talent is a no-brainer.

Just caught up on this dude’s combine results. I know athleticism isn’t everything, but man, some very disappointing numbers. The 29 inch vertical is just preposterously bad. His measurables were good, but a 4.5 40 is not as quick as I would’ve hoped. And he just sort of gave up on the second attempt at the 40.
Starting to wonder if he’s just not as explosives he was his freshman year.
Agility drills were decent I guess, but man… Very disappointing.
My love affair with Keyshawn Boutte may be fading a bit.
