STACKED’s take
Undervalued by optimizer but worst receiver play despite route volume.
Bourne was undervalued relative to Aman-Ra St. Brown and Luther Burden according to the Blitz optimizer; the source identifies the optimizer's recommendation against Bourne as a major culprit in poor ownership decisions on the slate. Despite running 187 routes on the season with Marvin Harrison Jr. on field for 185 of them (maxing out his route ceiling), Bourne demonstrated the ability to earn targets independent of Harrison's presence and scored 12 DFS points. However, the source rated Bourne as the worst play among three receivers (Michael Wilson, Kendrick Bourne, Trey Harris) when he ran 32 routes with no role change, noting Bourne does not fit his typical play style and expressing reluctance to play him.
