2025 Fantasy Outlook
Bourne, who suffered a torn right ACL in Week 8 of the 2023 season, began the 2024 campaign on the PUP list before being activated ahead of Week 5 action. Upon his return to the mix, the 29-year-old finished tallied 28 catches (on 38 targets) for 305 yards and a TD in 12 contests. Bourne is under contract with New the Patriots through 2026, but his role in the team's revamped wideout corps, with all of Kyle Williams, Mack Hollins, Kayshon Boutte, Ja'Lynn Polk, Javon Baker and Efton Chism also competing for targets that don't go to Stefon Diggs and DeMario Douglas.

Career-best yardage in OT win
Bourne brought in 10 of 11 targets for 142 yards in the 49ers' 26-23 overtime win over the Rams on Thursday night.
ANALYSIS
The veteran receiver set a new career high in receiving yards during the hard-fought win, one in which Bourne played the role of No. 1 receiver thanks to the absences of Jauan Jennings (ankle/ribs) and Ricky Pearsall (knee). Bourne's reception and receiving yardage totals were both team highs, and he tied tight end Jake Tonges for the lead in targets as well. Were all of San Francisco's receivers, including Brandon Aiyuk (knee, reserve/PUP list), healthy, Bourne would be either the No. 4 or No. 5 receiver, but his performance Thursday corroborated what he can do with an elevated role. Bourne could well be one of the 49ers' top three wideout options again in a Week 6 road matchup against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Oct. 12.

Bourne re-signed with New England as a free agent this spring, deciding to stick around under a new coaching staff. During his seven-year career, Bourne played his best football with the Patriots over the last three season. In 2021, he had 925 yards from scrimmage and five touchdowns. After a down year in 2022, Bourne came back strong last season with 406 yards and four touchdowns before suffering an ACL tear in Week 8. He'll now focus on rehab ahead of his age-29 season, hoping to regain a starting spot in a WR group that added veteran K.J. Osborn and rookies Ja'Lynn Polk and Javon Baker this offseason. The Patriots still lack a clear top target, but their WR depth looks a bit better than in Bourne's previous seasons, potentially leaving him with less volume even if he makes it back for Week 1 and claims a top-three role in an offense that will have either Drake Maye or Jacoby Brissett under center.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Visits set with SF, Washington
Bourne is set to visit the 49ers on Monday, per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, and then the Commanders on Tuesday, per Commanders reporter Ben Standig.
ANALYSIS
Bourne has at least two suitors in free agency after being released by the Patriots. The veteran wide receiver will likely try to make a decision quickly to give himself a chance to learn the playbook of whichever team he signs with prior to the regular season.
