Patriots still lack a go-to receiver despite Drake Maye’s hot start

The New England Patriots' wide receiver corps is a work in progress. Mike Vrabel brought in four new receivers this offseason, but none have truly stood out. This is evidenced by the team having four different receiving yard leaders in their six games.

The best of the bunch and the team's leader in receptions is Stefon Diggs. In the Carolina and Buffalo games, Diggs seemed poised to break out as the Patriots' consistently top receiver. Yet, against the Saints, he had only three catches for 28 yards while Kayshon Boutte led the way with five for 93. Rhamondre Stevenson and Hunter Henry are the other two who've led the team in catches in games.
