Is Kayshon Boutte playing today? Why Patriots WR is off to slow start in AFC title game

Kayshon Boutte has had a career year with the New England Patriots in 2025.

During the regular season, Boutte posted 551 yards and six touchdowns, and he's been even better in the playoffs. The 23-year-old had 75 yards and a touchdown in New England's divisional round win versus the Houston Texans.

Though Boutte has been a dynamic target for quarterback Drake Maye this year, he's off to a slow start in the AFC title game.

Is Kayshon Boutte playing today?

Yes, Boutte is active and playing.

However, he has yet to haul in a reception. Boutte did draw a target on the Patriots' second drive, but it was knocked down by Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain II.

We'll see if Boutte can get it going with New England's Super Bowl hopes on the line.
