  • Two TDs in Week 12 win

    Bourne caught five of six targets for 61 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 36-13 win over the Titans.

    Analysis: Bourne scored a four-yard touchdown in the first quarter, but most of his damage came on a 41-yard touchdown grab in the third. New England's offense tends to rotate its featured options on a weekly basis, but Bourne has emerged as the top scoring threat among the team's wide receivers. Bourne's five receiving touchdowns rank second behind tight end Hunter Henry's seven, and Nelson Agholor (three) is the only other player on the team with more than one. Building on this effort won't be easy for…read more

  • Team-high receiving yardage tally

    Bourne secured all four of his targets for 42 yards in the Patriots' 25-0 win over the Falcons on Thursday night. He also rushed once for seven yards.

    Analysis: Bourne's yardage total narrowly outpaced that of Nelson Agholor's (40) for the team lead. The 26-year-old now has at least four receptions in four of the last five contests, and he's become an increasingly reliable target for rookie quarterback Mac Jones with a catch rate that now sits at an impressive 78.7 percent. Bourne's next opportunity to add to his numbers comes in a Week 12 home matchup a week from Sunday against a Titans defense that's been very generous to wide receivers all season.

  • Leads team in receiving

    Bourne caught four passes for 98 yards and one touchdown on four targets against Cleveland on Sunday.

    Analysis: Nelson Agholor (two catches for 21 yards on four targets) has played more than Bourne this year, with the latter mostly playing in three-wide formations. However, production like Sunday's might force the Patriots to reconsider how they distribute playing time among their wide receivers. Agholor has more speed to offer than Bourne, who doesn't have much himself, but the former is much less adept in traffic. The playing time split between Bourne and Agholor is worth monitoring as the Patriots…read more

  • Leads receiving unit with 34 yards

    Bourne caught three of four targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 24-6 win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: The Patriots led comfortably for the majority of this contest, so the air attack wasn't asked to do much overall. Bourne ended up leading all wideouts in targets, receptions and yardage. The veteran wideout has posted a couple of strong statistical games this year, but his upside is generally capped by a conservative offensive gameplan. Bourne and the Patriots will face a stiff test against the Browns' tough pass defense in Week 10.

  • Catches four passes Sunday

    Bourne caught four of his seven targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: Per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, Bourne's 23 snaps in the contest were a season low, as he mostly stayed on the sideline after a third-quarter fumble. He'll look to bounce back this week against the Panthers, but with Jakobi Meyers, Nelson Agholor and N'Keal Harry also in the team's wideout mix, Bourne's weekly production could be sporadic.

  • Active against Chargers

    Bourne (shoulder) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

    Analysis: Bourne, who practiced in a limited fashion this week, will give it a go Sunday, but he profiles as a hit-or-miss fantasy option, while sharing the Patriots' wide receiver looks with Jakobi Meyers, Nelson Agholor and N'Keal Harry, to a lesser degree. In last Sunday's 54-13 win over the Jets, Bourne - who is averaging four targets and 50 receiving yards a game to date -- caught all four of the passes thrown his way for 68 yards, while adding a 25-yard TD toss to Agholor.

  • Listed as questionable for Sunday

    Bourne (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers after practicing in a limited fashion this week.

    Analysis: That said, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald relayed Friday that Bourne is expected to be available this weekend. Official confirmation of the wideout's Week 8 status will arrive upon the release of the Patriots' inactives prior to Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff, but it looks like Bourne -- who caught all four of his targets for 68 yards last weekend in a win over the Jets -- is trending toward active status.

  • Limited by shoulder injury

    Bourne was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice due to a shoulder injury, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

    Analysis: Cox notes that Bourne fell on his shoulder on his 46-yard reception in this past Sunday's win over the Jets, but so far there's nothing to suggest that the wideout's Week 8 status is in danger. That said, Bourne will presumably need to practice fully Thursday or Friday in order to head into Sunday's game against the Chargers minus an injury designation.

  • Tosses TD pass Sunday

    Bourne logged 41 of a possible 76 snaps on offense in Sunday's 54-13 win over the Jets, en route to catching all four of his targets for 68 yards, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Bourne's Week 7 fantasy stat line was bolstered by a 25-yard touchdown pass that he threw to Nelson Agholor to open the scoring in what turned into a blowout. Though seven contests this season, Bourne -- whose only catch Week 6 resulting in a 75-yard score -- is averaging four targets per game, a context that makes him a hit-or-miss lineup option heading into New England's Week 8 road tilt against the Chargers.

  • Hauls in long TD in wild loss

    Bourne caught one of two targets for a 75-yard touchdown in Sunday's 35-29 overtime loss to the Cowboys.

    Analysis: In a wild back-and-forth contest, Bourne was involved in maybe the two wildest plays of all. On the first ball Mac Jones threw his way, Bourne let the pass tip off his fingers straight to Trevon Diggs, who returned it 42 yards for a TD that put Dallas ahead 26-21. On New England's very next possession, Jones looked Bourne's way again, and this time the receiver hung onto the ball between two defenders before racing to the end zone for what proved to be the final points of the game for the Pats.…read more

  • Three catches in Week 5 win

    Bourne caught all three of his targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 25-22 win over the Texans.

    Analysis: Bourne logged 32 of a possible 64 snaps on offense in the contest, while Jakobi Meyers was out there for 58 snaps and Nelson Agholor saw action on 43 plays. Prior to Sunday's modest statistical effort, Bourne had caught 11 of 13 targets for 154 yards and a TD over his previous two outings. He'll look to pick up the pace in this coming Sunday's game against Dallas, but as long as Meyers, Agholor and TEs Hunter Henry and Jonnu Smith command their share of targets, Bourne's PPR production could be…read more

  • Catches all five targets

    Bourne logged 36 of a possible 59 snaps on offense in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Buccaneers, en route to catching all five of his target for 58 yards, NESN's Zack Cox reports.

    Analysis: Bourne, who opened the season with two modest efforts, now has 11 catches on 13 targets for 154 yards and a TD over his last two games. While Jakobi Meyers (27 catches for 246 yards to date) has emerged as QB Mac Jones' favorite target, Bourne's recent chemistry with the rookie signal-caller suggests that he could maintain PPR utility Week 5 with what looks like a favorable matchup versus Houston on tap.

  • Posts big game in losing effort

    Bourne had six receptions (eight targets) for 96 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-13 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: Bourne broke out in a big way after posting just three receptions for 17 yards over the first two games of the season. A big reason for the uptick in production was Mac Jones' inability to connect with top target Nelson Agholor (two catches on eight targets), who had to deal with the return of shutdown corner Marshon Lattimore (hand). Bourne remains third on the wide receiver depth chart, so fantasy managers shouldn't overreact to this huge performance. Up next is a matchup with the Buccaneers…read more

  • Two catches in Week 2

    Bourne caught two of his three targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 25-6 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Bourne, who was out there for 31 of the team's 58 snaps on offense, was once again out-snapped by fellow WRs Jakobi Meyers (52) and Nelson Agholor (50), en route to his second straight three-target contest. Down the road, there will be games where Bourne is more involved in the team's passing game, but for now he profiles as a complementary option in an offense that spreads the ball around.

  • One catch in Week 1

    Bourne was on the field for 33 of a possible 75 snaps on offense in Sunday's 17-16 loss to the Dolphins, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Bourne was out-snapped by fellow WRs Jakobi Meyers (74) and Nelson Agholor (64), en route to catching one of his three targets for 17 yards. Though he'll no doubt have weeks where he's more involved in the team's passing game, steady volume may be hard to come by for him with RB James White and TEs Jonnu Smith and Hunter Henry also commanding their share of targets on a weekly basis.

  • Logs 31 snaps Thursday

    Bourne caught one of his two targets for 23 yards in Thursday's 35-0 preseason win over the Eagles.

    Analysis: Per NESN's Zack Cox, Bourne logged 31 snaps in the contest, while Jakobi Meyers and Nelson Agholor "got the starting wideout treatment, playing 15 and 14 snaps, respectively." Cox also noted that the trio look "like sure bets to be the Patriots' top receivers this season." In that context, Bourne could emerge as a fantasy factor in deeper formats, though it must be noted that New England's attack could well feature a run-heavy approach and plenty of two-TE sets, a scenario that could make…read more

  • Looks to cement role

    In his latest 53-man roster projection, Paul Perillo of the Patriots' official site predicts that Jakobi Meyers, Nelson Agholor, Bourne and Gunner Olszewski will head the team's wideout corps out of the gate.

    Analysis: Perillo's projection supposes that N'Keal Harry, who's had a strong training camp to date, remains a candidate to be dealt, though that's not a lock to occur if the 2019 first-rounder continues his strong play. Either way, Bourne -- who signed a three year, $15 million contract with New England this offseason -- seems destined for a key role in New England's passing attack in 2021, with his ability to line up outside or in the slot an asset in that regard. That said, steady volume may be an…read more

  • Could see work in slot

    Bourne has an opportunity to emerge as the Patriots' top slot option with Julian Edelman having retired, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

    Analysis: Like fellow free-agent acquisition Nelson Agholor and returnee Jakobi Meyers, Bourne has the versatility to line up outside or in the slot. Edelman's departure following a productive stint with the Patriots that began in 2009 sets the stage for a revamped wide receiver depth chart in New England this coming season. As things stand, Bourne -- who logged a 49-667-2 stat line in 15 games for the 49ers in 2020 -- is in line to be a key target for Cam Newton. If Agholor is deployed as a deep threat…read more

  • Off to New England

    The Patriots and Bourne agreed to terms on a three-year, $22.5 million contract Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: On the first day of the legal tampering period, New England has restocked its receiving corps with the additions of Bourne, wideout Nelson Agholor and tight end Jonnu Smith. Bourne's versatility should allow him to stay on the field regularly, and he's coming off career bests in catches (49), receiving yards (667) and targets (74) with the 49ers in 2020.

  • Hoping to stay in San Fran

    Bourne said Wednesday that he and the 49ers are discussing a new contract, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Analysis: Bourne acknowledged that he won't be the team's top priority this offseason, but he still hopes to work something out. The 2017 undrafted free agent is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent for the first time, following a 2020 campaign in which he posted career highs for targets (74), catches (49), receiving yards (667), yards per catch (13.6) and yards per target (9.0). Bourne never saw a ton of volume, but his ability to play both outside and in the slot helped San Francisco's…read more

  • Career high in receiving yards

    Bourne finished the 202 season with 49 receptions (74 targets) for 667 yards and two touchdowns over 15 contests.

    Analysis: The 49ers had high hopes for their trio of high-round picks entering the 2020 season, but just like most things last calendar year, nothing went as planned. Deebo Samuel (second round in 2019) suffered a foot injury during training camp and Dante Pettis (second round in 2018) squandered yet another opportunity and wound up being released in October.

  • Big drop in playing time

    Bourne logged just 19 snaps on offense (34 percent) Saturday, catching his lone target for 16 yards in a 20-12 win over Arizona.

    Analysis: The 49ers featured a heavy rushing gameplan against the Cardinals, resulting in just 22 pass attempts, with only four going toward wide receivers. Bourne also saw his playing time decrease as a result of George Kittle coming off injured reserve, as the team ran more formations with two tight ends and two or fewer wideouts on the field. Two of San Francisco's top three pass catchers are arguably its tight ends (Kittle and Jordan Reed), so Bourne -- who is currently the team's slot man -- may…read more

  • Late TD bolsters stat line

    Bourne logged 42 offensive snaps (50 percent) and hauled in all four of his targets for 86 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-33 loss to Dallas.

    Analysis: Bourne made an impressive leaping grab above a sea of Dallas defenders on a 49-yard heave by C.J. Beathard on the final play of the contest. The score had no effect on the final result, but garbage time or not, the end result was a new season high in receiving yards for the veteran wideout. Bourne is stuck at third on the depth chart even after starter Deebo Samuel (hamstring) was ruled out for the rest of the year. It was Richie James (54 snaps, four catches, seven targets and 56 yards) who…read more

  • Does little with seven targets

    Bourne caught three of seven targets for 42 yards during Sunday's 23-15 loss to Washington.

    Analysis: Deebo Samuel (hamstring) was injured on the second play from scrimmage, leaving Bourne to pick up the slack in the passing game. He finished second on the team in targets but caught less than half the balls thrown his way and finished with rather modest production. If Samuel is forced to miss next Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Bourne could again see some extra targets.

    Bourne played 49 percent of offensive snaps and logged four receptions (six targets) for 35 yards in Monday's 34-24 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: The veteran wideout remained third on the 49ers' wide receiver depth chart following the return of Brandon Aiyuk (reserve/COVID-19) to the starting lineup, as it was Richie James (seven offensive snaps) who was bumped down from No. 2 to No. 4. Bourne would have had a better fantasy outing had the officials not overturned what was initially ruled a touchdown in the fourth quarter.

    Analysis: Deebo Samuel (hamstring) made his long-awaited return following the team's bye week, but with Brandon Aiyuk (reserve/COVID-19) out of action, Bourne stuck at third on the depth chart and logged 57 percent of the snaps. The veteran wideout finished ahead of second-string starter Richie James Jr. (88 percent of snaps for one reception for 29 yards) in terms of fantasy production, but that should be considered an anomaly if their snap counts remain consistent going forward.

  • Makes four catches vs. Saints

    Bourne caught four of five targets for 26 yards during Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: Bourne finished third on the team in both targets and receptions, though his average of 6.5 yards per catch was nothing to write home about. He was on the reserve/COVID-19 list in the days leading up to the game, but he displayed no ill effects after taking the last couple of weeks to recuperate. Bourne will now rest up over the bye before taking on the Rams November 29th, when his role could diminish if Deebo Samuel (hamstring) is cleared to return.

  • Cleared for Week 10

    Bourne (undisclosed) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday and will travel with the team to New Orleans, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old landed on the reserve/COVID-19 list before last week's loss to the Packers and had yet to practice this week, but he'll rejoin the team in time for Week 10. Bourne is coming off his best performance of the season (eight catches for 81 yards) against the Seahawks, and he could be similarly involved this weekend with Deebo Samuel (hamstring) not expected to play Sunday.

    Coach Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday that he's hopeful Bourne (reserve/COVID-19 list) will be able to practice later this week, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: Bourne recently began his second term on the list, but the 49ers seemingly are confident that the latest stint was merely the result of false positives and not an actual bout with the coronavirus. While he'll have to be activated from the aforementioned list in order to get back on the field, he does have two more chances to practice this week ahead of Sunday's game in New Orleans.

    The 49ers placed Bourne on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: Bourne was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list last Wednesday after testing positive for the virus, but subsequent negative tests allowed him to be activated Friday. Now, however, it appears that new developments will require the 25-year-old wideout to return to the reserve list. With Deebo Samuel (hamstring) still banged up, Brandon Aiyuk, Richie James and Trent Taylor are currently the only fully available wideouts on San Francisco's roster.

The wideout was still forced to sit out Thursday's loss to the Packers due to the initial result, while Brandon Aiyuk, Deebo Samuel and Trent Williams were also ruled out due to being deemed close contacts of Bourne.

    Bourne (illness) tested negative for COVID-19 on Thursday, but he'll remain out for the 49ers' game against the Packers later in the day, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Even so, NFL protocols won't afford Bourne enough time to gain clearance for Thursday's game, leaving the 49ers extremely thin at wide receiver with Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk also on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

    The 49ers placed Bourne (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: After testing positive earlier Wednesday, Bourne was destined to land on this list. He'll thus be unavailable for Thursday's game against the Packers and perhaps beyond, as he'll need to be asymptomatic and test negative twice at least 24 hours apart before he's eligible to rejoin the 49ers. San Francisco's receiving corps is down Deebo Samuel (hamstring) and George Kittle (foot) as well, leaving Brandon Aiyuk, Trent Taylor, Richie James (ankle) and Ross Dwelley as the likely available pass…read more

  • Tests positive for COVID-19

    Bourne tested positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: According to Schefter, Bourne's positive test has prompted the 49ers to shut down their facility for the day in order to conduct contact tracing. The 49ers are scheduled to host the Packers on Thursday.

  • Produces late in Week 8

    Bourne recorded eight receptions on 10 targets for 81 yards in Week 8 against the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Bourne showed a connection with Nick Mullens during the fourth quarter, racking up 59 of his 81 yards on the team's final two drives. He was able to command a season-best eight targets in the absence of Deebo Samuel (hamstring) and George Kittle (ankle). Game script also aided Bourne's output, as the team was playing from behind throughout the entire second half. With a quick turnaround for a Week 9 matchup against the Packers on Thursday, Bourne could be pushed into a significant role again.

  • Not needed in blowout win

    Bourne did not have a reception (one target) in Sunday's 33-6 victory over the Patriots.

    Analysis: The 49ers turned in a performance reminiscent of its run to the Super Bowl in 2019 where the ground game and defense dominated the opponent so effectively that they barely needed to pass. This game script affected Bourne the most, as he was left without a reception for the first time this season despite being on the field for 45 percent of the team's offensive snaps. Bourne -- who has been serving as the team's slot man in recent weeks -- should return to the starting lineup against the…read more

  • Posts 44 yards in win

    Bourne had two receptions (three targets) for 44 yards in Sunday's 24-16 win over the Rams.

    Analysis: Bourne finished third in receptions, targets and yardage for the 49ers while playing 56 percent of offensive snaps in a game where the passing offense returned to life. The 25-year-old also appears to be firmly entrenched at third on the wide receiver depth chart behind Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk, which lowers the cap on his already limited fantasy value. Bourne likely will have to find the end zone in order to provide fantasy value against the Patriots on Sunday.

  • Hits pay dirt in loss

    Bourne had two receptions (four targets) for 30 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 43-17 loss to Miami.

    Analysis: Bourne was finally able to find the end zone for the first time this season, even if it happened to come in garbage time of a blowout loss. The negative news for the veteran wideout is that he moved to third on the depth chart (66 percent of offensive snaps) with both Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk fully healthy and on the field together for the first time this year. The 49ers' struggles in the passing game already limited Bourne's value when he was a starter, and the slight hit in value will…read more

  • Posts 33 yards in loss

    Bourne had three receptions (six targets) for 33 yards in Sunday's 25-20 loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: Bourne's six targets actually led all San Francisco wideouts, but in true Kyle Shanahan style, a running back and tight end surpassed his target share. The veteran wideout has had a steady floor through four games, but the lack of touchdowns has hurt the potential for fantasy value. The return of Deebo Samuel (foot) and the emergence of rookie Brandon Aiyuk could end up cutting into Bourne's production going forward.

  • Another four grabs in win

    Bourne secured four of six targets for 63 yards in the 49ers' 36-9 win over the Giants on Sunday.

    Analysis: The fourth-year wideout checked in second in receptions and receiving yards on the team for the afternoon, while his six looks were tied for that slotting with Jordan Reed (knee/ankle). Bourne now has eight receptions for 130 yards on 11 targets in the last two games, and with Deebo Samuel (foot) not likely to return until Week 5, Bourne should see another starting opportunity in a Week 4 Sunday night matchup against the Eagles.

  • Leads team in receiving

    Bourne had four catches (five targets) for 67 yards in Sunday's 31-13 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: With Deebo Samuel (foot) still on IR, Bourne stuck as the club's top producer on the outside even with the debut of rookie Brandon Aiyuk. The 49ers were hurt by a slew of lower-body injuries sustained during Week 2, so this offense may look completely different while down two key running backs and, most likely, its starting quarterback. This could lead to more passing volume for Bourne and San Francisco's other top receiving options even with backup Nick Mullens under center, as Mullens proved…read more

  • Catches two of five targets

    Bourne caught two of five targets for 34 yards during Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Cardinals.

    Analysis: With injuries mounting in the wideout room, Bourne saw an uptick in playing time in the season opener. He tied for the team lead in targets and made a couple of impressive gains, but he simply didn't see enough usage to post fantasy-friendly numbers. Bourne should see his share of targets next Sunday against the Jets, but he could be fairly reliant on big plays to make a splash.

  • Listed as starter

    Bourne is listed as a starter on the unofficial depth chart released by San Francisco on Wednesday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: Bourne's standing above rookie first-round pick Brandon Aiyuk (hamstring) could be attributed in part to veteran deference, but it's worth noting that neither Aiyuk or Deebo Samuel (foot) can be considered a lock for Week 1. If any combination of Samuel and Aiyuk were forced to sit out Sunday's contest against the Cardinals, Bourne would certainly see increased work, and the depth chart has him ahead of both Trent Taylor and Dante Pettis. Bourne showcased a knack for the red zone in 2019, with…read more

  • Hoping for extension

    Bourne and the 49ers have discussed a contract extension, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Bourne is signed to a second-round restricted free agent tender for 2020, scheduled to pay him $3.26 million. The 2017 UDFA has never been much of a fantasy asset, but he did solid work for the Niners as a No. 3 receiver the past two seasons, averaging 7.7 yards on 110 targets while primarily operating from the slot. Bourne could see an uptick in usage early this season if Deebo Samuel is slow to recover from June foot surgery.

  • Signs RFA tender

    Bourne signed his restricted free agent tender Monday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: San Francisco will pay Bourne $3.26 million in 2020 after tendering him at the second-round level last month. The wideout tallied 30 receptions for 358 yards and five touchdowns while playing a full 16-game slate last season.

  • Getting second-round tender

    The 49ers are giving Bourne a second-round tender, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The draft pick protection will be more than sufficient to dissuade any offer sheets for the restricted free agent. Bourne did solid work out of the slot last season, but he won't necessarily be guaranteed the same job in 2020. His role depends on what the Niners do this offseason, starting with impending free agent Emmanuel Sanders.

  • Finishes season with 42 yards

    Bourne caught two of four targets for 42 yards in a 31-20 loss to Kansas City in the Super Bowl.

    Analysis: Bourne played 48 percent of the snaps on offense and also got some work (eight snaps) on special teams. His 26-yard gain late in the third quarter helped set up a touchdown for Raheem Mostert, who plunged in from one yard out to give the Niners a 20-10 lead. Bourne consistently served as the 49ers' No. 3 wide receiver throughout the 2019 season, but the role typically doesn't require a ton of snaps or targets, as coach Kyle Shanahan favors two-back formations (with fullback Kyle Juszczyk) over…read more

  • Catches one pass

    Bourne caught his lone target for a six-yard gain in Sunday's 37-20 win over Green Bay in the NFC Championship Game.

    Analysis: Bourne played a key role the previous week but was limited to a 25 percent snap share in Sunday's blowout victory. He's locked in as the 49ers' No. 3 wide receiver ahead of a Super Bowl matchup with the Chiefs.

  • Scores first career postseason TD

    Bourne caught three of five targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 27-10 NFC divisional-round victory over Minnesota.

    Analysis: Bourne's three catches tied Deebo Samuel for the team lead in receptions, but the former was the only receiver to hit paydirt. It's tough to take away a whole lot from the 49ers' passing attack in this one, as the team played with the lead for the final three quarters and ran the ball 71 percent of the time. The 6-foot-1 wideout does offer upside in terms of his red-zone skills, as he now has six touchdowns on just 33 receptions this season, but he remains a cheap flyer in DFS formats heading…read more

  • Finishes season with five scores

    Bourne had 30 receptions for 358 yards and five touchdowns in 16 games this season.

    Analysis: Bourne started the year as a reserve, but injuries and improved play by the wideout boosted him to third on the depth chart to finish the season. His production was mainly touchdown-dependent, which kept the 23-year-old out of the fantasy picture for the most part. Bourne will enter the 2020 season as a restricted free agent, and his play during the playoffs could influence whether the club elects to keep him around for a fourth year.

  • Gains 29 yards in win

    Bourne had two catches (three targets) for 29 yards in Saturday's 34-31 win over the Rams.

    Analysis: Bourne didn't have a strong fantasy day, but his 16-yard reception on a crucial third-and-16 on the game's final drive helped propel the 49ers to victory. The 24-year-old has taken a stranglehold of the third spot on the wide receiver depth chart, although that role in San Francisco's offense doesn't provide much in terms of volume. Bourne will need to find the end zone -- like he did against Seattle back in Week 10 -- in order to have fantasy value Sunday against the Seahawks.

  • Just 11 yards in loss

    Bourne had one catch (two targets) for 11 yards in Sunday's 29-22 loss to Atlanta.

    Analysis: Bourne saw even fewer looks than usual and was unable to get in the end zone to supplement his fantasy value as in previous weeks. Duds like these are the risk with the 24-year-old as the fourth option in the passing game on a power-run offense. Bourne remains a deep-league option largely dependent on scoring heading into a Week 16 matchup with the Rams.

  • Scores twice on three catches

    Bourne caught three of four targets for 18 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 48-46 win over the Saints.

    Analysis: Bourne's strong fantasy line was buoyed by a pair of TD grabs, bringing his season total up to a new career high of five through 13 games. The 24-year-old's nose for the end zone isn't a fluke, as his size (6-foot-1) makes him an ideal target on the outside when stacked up against his fellow wideouts, who all check in under six feet. Bourne maintained his spot as third on the wide receiver depth chart -- 57 percent of the offensive snaps -- but he doesn't garner enough targets (he's averaging…read more

  • Holds onto No. 3 receiver role

    Bourne caught all three of his targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: The 24-year-old's 42 yards actually paced all San Francisco receivers on a day when the rushing attack led the charge. Deebo Samuel has emerged as the starter opposite deadline acquisition Emmanuel Sanders, but Bourne has surpassed both Marquise Goodwin and Dante Pettis (knee) as the No. 3 receiver on the depth chart. Bourne is still a touchdown-dependent fantasy asset however, as he has surpassed 50 yards receiving just once this season (three catches for 69 yards back in Week 7). He should be…read more

  • Two catches in SNF win

    Bourne caught both of his targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 37-8 win over Green Bay.

    Analysis: Bourne technically outproduced Emmanuel Sanders (one catch for 15 yards), but the latter played a starter's share of snaps (67 percent) compared to the former's 50 percent. The 24-year-old only appears to gain value when the 49ers' receiving corps isn't at full strength, and it was as close to full go as it has been in some time Sunday. Sanders (ribs) and George Kittle (knee/ankle) figure to only get healthier down the stretch, limiting Bourne's fantasy appeal heading into a Week 13 matchup…read more

  • TD streak continues

    Bourne caught four passes on six targets for 31 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-26 win over the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Emmanuel Sanders (ribs) was able to start the contest but was clearly limited physically, which allowed Bourne to remain involved in a pseudo-starting role. The 24-year-old responded with his third consecutive game with a receiving touchdown. Undrafted in 2017, the wideout has proven to be more reliable than receivers on the team with a higher pedigree, keeping him in the top three on the wide receiver depth chart ahead of the likes of Dante Pettis and Marquise Goodwin. Bourne's 6-foot-1 frame…read more

  • Scores another touchdown

    Bourne caught four of eight targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 27-24 overtime loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Bourne started the game with a 10-yard touchdown catch to cap San Francisco's second drive, giving him scores in back-to-back outings. However, after that point, he endured a couple of drops, including one that he tipped for a Seahawks interception. This all came on a night fellow wideout Emmanuel Sanders was forced into an early exit due to a rib injury and tight end George Kittle (knee/ankle) didn't suit up at all. Despite his inconsistency, Bourne trailed only rookie Deebo Samuel in the…read more

  • Scores on lone catch

    Bourne was targeted just once, but he caught that pass for a seven-yard touchdown in Thursday's 28-25 win over Arizona,

    Analysis: Bourne played less than a third of the team's offensive snaps for the sixth time through eight games this season. The touchdown was a positive for the 24-year-old -- and his 6-foot-1 frame does make him a decent red-zone target -- but it's tough to provide fantasy value as the fourth wideout on the depth chart. Bourne should not be a waiver target heading into a Week 9 matchup against the Seahawks.
