Kayshon Boutte caught 4 passes for 125 yards and 2 touchdowns on 5 targets in Houston's 44-22 win over the Chargers, scoring 26.5 half-PPR points. That is 22.7 more than his 3.8 half-PPR points a game over his previous 7 games, when he averaged 3.3 targets and 27.7 yards. His last three games averaged 36 per cent of snaps and 8 per cent target share.

The points came without more targets, carries or snaps than usual, so treat it as one game until the role changes. Our daily brief on 5th November noted his role is expected to continue declining with Marvin Harrison acclimating to the offence. His opportunity score ranks 133rd of 195 receivers, and his 11 per cent air yards share over the last three games ranks 112th of 184.

Kayshon Boutte

Boutte's 26.5 half-PPR points came from two long touchdowns on just 5 targets, not a heavier workload. Over his last three games he averaged 3.3 targets and 0.0 carries a game, an 8 per cent target share on 36 per cent of snaps. His expected points model says he is scoring about what his usage predicts (0.4 half-PPR points a game), so his points match his role. His efficiency score ranks 40th of 195 receivers.

Our brief from 5th November reported his season-low 18 snaps in Week 7, with Xavier Hutchinson and Nico Collins seeing more snaps and recent trade acquisition Marvin Harrison acclimating to the offence. Boutte's opportunity score ranks 133rd of 195 receivers. Week 10 at Cleveland offers little help with tougher than average matchup metrics. We project 4.35 half-PPR points a game he plays, ranking him 77th at the position.

What to do

• Hold Kayshon Boutte but keep him on your bench until his snap share and target share increase.

• Do not start Boutte in Week 10 at Cleveland based on one efficient game when his role remains minimal.

• Monitor Houston's receiver usage reports for whether Harrison's arrival continues limiting Boutte's playing time.
