ANALYSIS: New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne caught all five of his passes for 70 yards and a touchdown in his team's loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 11. The only thing to take away from this is that quarterback Drake Maye is coming along in his development and can support fantasy relevant pass-catchers.

Fellow Pats WRs DeMario Douglas (seven targets, five catches), Kayshon Boutte (six targets, four catches), and tight end Hunter Henry (nine targets, six catches) all out-targeted Bourne. Running backs Rhamondre Stevenson (four targets), Antonio Gibson (one target), and even offensive lineman Vederian Lowe (one target) saw action in the passing game.
Maye is effective at spreading the ball around and will likely continue to do so. Over the last five games, it's actually been Henry that's seen the most targets (nine, six, eight, four, and nine), and he appears to be the team's most reliable pass-catcher. The others may be difficult to trust on a weekly basis.
