The Patriots have had one of the league’s worst wide receiver corps for half a decade. Since 2020, no team’s receivers have combined for fewer touchdowns or yards per reception, and only the Chiefs have lost more fumbles.
DeMario Douglas, Ja’Lynn Polk, and Javon Baker offer plenty in the way of talent. Kayshon Boutte also took a step forward after a quiet rookie season, and Kendrick Bourne should benefit from a reunion with offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. Still, the wide receiver room lacks a reliable go-to target and proven leader to guide greener players.
