Patriots WR Kendrick Bourne (knee) has been activated from the PUP list and will make his 2024 debut vs. the Dolphins on Sunday, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports. It'll be Bourne's first action since last October's torn ACL.

2024 Fantasy Football Impact

Bourne averaged 7.3 targets, 4.9 catches, 53 yards, and 0.4 TDs over the first seven games of last season. He was sitting 27th among WRs in PPR points at that time.

Now he returns to a Patriots offense sitting:

23rd in pass attempts
32nd in pass yards
30th in pass TDs

Bourne won't have a chance at fantasy value until and if QB Drake Maye sparks this passing game.

Hopefully Bourne doesn't take playing time from WR Ja'Lynn Polk, who registered a season-high 87% route rate last week.
