2024 Fantasy Outlook
Osborn signed a free agent deal with the Patriots. It may not be difficult for the receiver to secure a significant role as an outside receiver. Osborn was a full-time player for the Vikings last year. Even though Jordan Addision was a more talented receiver, Osborn was often on the field more than Addison because of his exceptional blocking skills. Although Osborn had a pair of games with at least 95 yards, he often produced in the 30-40 yard range. It’s possible that Osborn is asked to be more of a receiver in New England. However, New England added Ja’Lynn Polk and Javon Baker in this year’s draft. Along with Kendrick Bourne making his way back from a knee injury, Osborn may see little time on the field if he’s the No. 4 receiver. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
One catch versus Seattle
Osborn, who was on the field for 51 of the Patriots' 68 snaps on offense in Sunday's 23-20 overtime loss to the Seahawks, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, caught one of his two targets for seven yards in the contest.
ANALYSIS
Osborn and Ja'Lynn Polk (41 snaps) started at wide receiver for the Patriots in Week 2, while DeMario Douglas (38 snaps) and Tyquan Thornton (31 snaps) were also in the mix. Going forward, there will be weeks in which Osborn and his fellow WRs will be more involved, but against the Seahawks at least, New England's offense was pace by the run game, with tight end Hunter Henry (eight catches on 12 targets) serving as QB Jacoby Brissett's top target.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
A 2020 fifth-round pick, Osborn essentially redshirted his rookie season before working as Minnesota's No. 3 receiver the next two years, playing in every game and running slightly more than half his routes from the slot. He put up 50-655-7 on 82 targets in 2021 and 60-650-5 on 90 targets in 2022, but further volume growth is far from guaranteed after Minnesota drafted Jordan Addison in the first round this spring to replace free-agent loss Adam Thielen. At 5-11, 203, with 4.48 timed speed, Osborn is much heavier than Addison and just as fast but without the massive college production and impressive change-of-direction ability. Osborn might be stuck as the No. 3 receiver again, and this time in an offense that seemingly wants to use more two-TE sets after trading for T.J. Hockenson last fall and giving Josh Oliver a surprising $8.2 million guarantee this spring. The upside scenario for Osborn's volume involves an injury to target-hog Justin Jefferson, which would seriously hurt the quality of the Minnesota offense.
