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.

RANKS
Signed a one-year, $1.77 million contract with the 49ers in September of 2025.
Matches last week's career output
Bourne finished with five receptions on nine targets for 142 yards in Sunday's 30-19 loss to the Buccaneers.
ANALYSIS
Fresh off posting a career-best 142 receiving yards against the Rams in Week 5, Bourne likely made his managers double take at the box score after hitting that same mark in consecutive contests. The 29-year-old has shown great chemistry with old teammate Mac Jones, as the former Patriots continue to post video-game numbers filling in for injured 49ers starters in 2025. Bourne continued starting in place of Ricky Pearsall (knee) while Jauan Jennings (ribs) returned in a limited capacity but revealed that he was playing with five broken ribs after the contest. If Pearsall is forced to miss a third consecutive game in Week 7, then Bourne's stock would remain elevated for next Sunday's tilt against the Falcons.

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
Another prominent role expected
Bourne, who posted a breakout 10-catch, 142-yard performance against the Rams in Week 5, is likely to operate as no less than the 49ers' No. 2 receiver for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Bourne worked as the Niners' No. 1 receiver versus Los Angeles due to the multitude of absent 49ers pass catchers in that contest. It's possible San Francisco's air attack will be stretched just as thin versus Tampa Bay, as Jauan Jennings, who is dealing with rib and ankle injuries, is the only player that was sidelined in Week 5 that has a chance to play Sunday. Bourne's aforementioned success against the Rams came with Mac Jones under center, and the latter will once again serve as San Francisco's starting quarterback in Week 6 since Brock Purdy has been ruled out due to his toe injury.
