Keshon Booty was a bit of an unheralded player for the 2025 AFC Champion New England Patriots, Denny Carter, but all offseason he seemed like the odd man out after they traded for AJ Brown, signed Romeo Dobbs.
Trade chatter had been swirling for weeks.

Yeah, I mean, Jaden Higgins goes down with a season-ending knee injury last week for Houston, so this was sort of a natural fit, and I think Keshon Booty comes in, and he's probably better than Higgins, as a boundary receiver.
C.J.
Stroud not a great downfield thrower, but Keshon Booty really efficient as a downfield pass catcher.
That might have something to do with playing, with Drake May, of course.
I, I do think that he can be drafted in 12-team leagues as a high variance week-to-week option.
Nico Collins obviously remains the unquestioned wide receiver one here.
It's possible Keshon Booty's biggest fantasy impact is not for himself, but maybe what he does for Nico Collins.

Keshon Booty, a much more credible number two.
We'll let you know if he comes into 12-team league relevance.
I'm not really expecting it right off the bat, but if you want that question answered and more, head to rotoworld.com.
