NFL wide receiver Kendrick Bourne is a potential 2021 fantasy football sleeper and ADP draft value. Target him as an undervalued WR in fantasy football drafts.
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~280 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~327
ANALYSIS:
In San Francisco, clutch receiver Kendrick Bourne was locked in as the third option. After signing with the Patriots as a free agent, he could quickly outshine Nelson Agholor and Jakobi Meyers to become New England’s top dog. Bill Belichick brought him in for a reason. Bourne, preparing to enter his fifth season, is already clicking with quarterback Cam Newton. Though Bourne’s surface numbers have never been gaudy – or for that matter, fantasy-relevant beyond ultra-deep leagues – his performance on key plays stands out. Of Bourne’s 137 career catches for the 49ers, 73% went for first downs, compared with rates of 53% for Agholor and 64% for Meyers.
The Pats figure to remain a run-oriented attack, especially if Newton staves off Mac Jones as the starting QB. Still, with the versatility to play in the slot or line up wide, Bourne should earn enough playing time and targets to put up a line of around 65-750-5. That wouldn’t live up to the 1,000-yard breakout he sees for himself but it would more than justify his average draft position of 327 in PPR leagues.
