PositiveValueOct 23, 2026Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz
Kendrick Bourne is Ian Hartitz's top-ranked Rams alternative if Puka Nakua is unavailable due to his calf injury, ranked ahead of Kannata Munfield, Jordan Whittington, and other options. Additionally, Hartitz recommends the over 3.5 receptions prop for Bourne. Without Marvin Harrison Jr., Bourne has averaged 8 targets and 5 catches in both recent games. Jeremiah Love's absence removes underneath backfield opportunities, funneling more targets to Bourne; his average route depth ranks among the shallowest in the league (comparable to Kio Shakir and Debo Samuel), positioning him as a gadget/underneath receiver. Hartitz expects at least 4 catches despite modest yardage projection.

PositiveRoleOct 23, 2026Yahoo Fantasy Football
With Marvin Harrison now in Houston, Bourne has stepped into a meaningful role for the Cardinals' passing attack. Bourne's 59 routes run since Week 5 are the second-most of any Cardinals receiver, while his 16 targets and 27.1 percent targets per route rate (TPRR) lead all players on the team—including Trey McBride (22.6 percent TPRR). He has turned his 16 targets into 10 receptions for 117 scoreless yards, finishing as PPR WR26 and WR39 in his last two games. His 28.5 expected fantasy points are good for 15th-most among all receivers. Tied to an offense that ranks third in early down pass rate (56.7 percent) and expected to be without Jeremiyah Love (ankle) for at least one more week, Bourne could be on the fantasy radar as a fringe WR3/WR4 play even against a stout Broncos defense.

NegativeProjectionOct 22, 2026FantasyPros Articles
Bourne has had some flex value this season with two outings with at least 12 PPR points; he has an 11.9% target share, 1.34 YPRR, five red zone targets, one deep target, and 14.5% first-read share; Denver is 17th in yards per target allowed to slot receivers while giving up the 14th-fewest fantasy points per opportunity to the position; the source says Bourne is flex viable again this week and is not expecting a massive game but can give PPR production in a pinch.

PositiveUsageOct 21, 2026RotoWire NFL Articles
Has an average route depth of just 6.6 yards this season — that's fourth lowest at the position and in the same range as more-gadgety guys like Deebo Samuel (5.4) and Khalil Shakir (5.2). Good news: Jacoby Brissett is no stranger to peppering his receivers in the underneath areas of the field, and Bourne accordingly has racked up 16 targets in two weeks without MHJ — that's more than Michael Wilson (14), and hell, not too far removed from Trey McBride (19). Is this good for the Cardinals' real-life offense? Probably not, but similar to Washington, the points add up in full-PPR land (WR27 these last two weeks).

Bourne has an average route depth of just 6.6 yards (fourth-lowest at the position), similar to gadget players like Deebo Samuel (5.4) and Khalil Shakir (5.2). Jacoby Brissett peppers his receivers in underneath areas, and Bourne has racked up 16 targets in two weeks without Marvin Harrison Jr.—more than Michael Wilson (14) and nearly matching Trey McBride (19). While not ideal for the Cardinals' real-life offense, this translates to WR27-level production in full-PPR over the last two weeks.
