The New England Patriots are open for camp and a lot of familiar faces have opted out of the 2020 season. Linebacker Dont'a Hightower and safety Patrick Chung will not be the defensive linchpins we have come to expect for nearly the past decade. Presumptive offensive starters right tackle Marcus Cannon and tight end Matt LaCosse will also not be playing, nor will projected role players running back Brandon Bolden and fullback Dan Vitale. Bubble players wide receiver Marqise Lee and offensive lineman Najee Toran have also opted out, bringing the number of players not suiting up to a league-high eight. So what are the Patriots going to do? Who benefits the most from these opt-outs and the stilted offseason schedule? Which players will step up in the place of these veterans? And will Bill Belichick have some tricks up his sleeves to stay competitive as his key players are not taking the field? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

El desmantelamiento total parece haber llegado a los seis veces campeones del Super Bowl, los New England Patriots. Abren pre- temporada sólo para saber que ocho de sus jugadores se niegan a participar por temor a contagiarse de Coronavirus.

Es el equipo que más agentes libres perdió en marzo, y ahora, es el que más jugadores pierde por temor a contagiarse. Entre estos jugadores se encuentran: Dont'a Hightower- capitán defensivo, Matt LaCosse- ala cerrada, Pat Chung- safety, y Marcus Cannon- tackle derecho. Gracias por visitar este Podcast.

Last Chance U para empezar. Una serie que me gusta y que me he visto en 24 horas. Todo esto como aperitivo de lo que ha ocurrido en esta semana. La primera rueda de prensa de Belichick en 3 meses es el hilo argumental de todo lo que ha sucedido importante en New England esta semana. Con especial atención a los jugadores importantes que han decidido no jugar este año. NOTA: He acabado de grabar justo antes de enterarme del octavo jugador que ha decidido no jugar Matt Lacosse así que ya está desactualizado.

The New England Patriots addressed their needs at tight end in the 2020 NFL Draft by selecting Devin Asiasi and Dalton Keene in the third round. The Patriots had Asiasi as their No. 1 tight end in the draft, so the UCLA product has a lot to prove in his rookie campaign. Keene was selected higher than projected, but has potential to the be x-factor at this position. Sierra Goodwill and Evan Lazar also discuss whether or not Matt LaCosse or Ryan Izzo will make the 53-man roster and be useful this upcoming season. Learn more about your ad choices.

Summary Pat Fitzmaurice joins Greg Smith on this episode and they dig into the process that made Pat's fantasy football rankings so successful last season (5:23). From there, Greg grills Pat on players he has ranked significantly higher or lower than ADP, going from running backs (17:17) to wide receivers (26:49), then quarterbacks (46:07) and tight ends (54:46). The back-half of the show is one last deep dive into this year's Scott Fish Bowl (1:00:22), and it's interesting to add Pat's perspective because both he and Greg drafted from the sixth pick, but to very different results. After a quick discussion on the politics and etiquette of slow drafts like the SFB and some general strategy talk from Pat, your hosts finish out the show with a boxing-style accounting of who won each round drafting from the 1.06 spot.

Patriots Tight End Matt LaCosse addresses the media during his interview following day 2 of minicamp at Gillette Stadium on Wednesday, June 5, 2019.

Jeff Ratcliffe checks in on the Seattle Seahawks backfield, and breaks down the fantasy football impact of their run-heavy approach on Russell Wilson, Chris Carson, Rashaad Penny, and Tyler Lockett. Jeff also discusses why he isn't running out to pick up Matt LaCosse in dynasty leagues. He wraps up the show with some thoughts on how to adjust your draft strategy in 10-team leagues including what to do in the early rounds and when to draft quarterbacks.

The Patriots are always buzzy because.. Well, they’re the Patriots. But even moreso, this offseason has been wild, with huge departures and additions that all carry massive fantasy weight. To break it all down, we welcome on WEEI’s Ryan Hannable for a Dive Record fifth time. We cover all the burning questions, including: - What does N’Keal Harry bring to the table, and is he worth the No.1 overall Dynasty selections so many peg him for? - Will any of Austin Seferian-Jenkins, Ben Watson, or Matt Lacosse carve out a meaningful fantasy role? - How about any of this new WRs trio of Demaryius Thomas, Dontrelle Inman, and Maurice Harris? - Can Julian Edelman carry his dominant playoffs stretch run into the regular season… and put together a career year? - What’s the state of Sony Michel and this backfield after the addition of Damien Harris? - What’s Harris’ potential role here? - Is James White hurt at all by the move? - Is Tom “God” Brady set for a statistical uptick or dreaded downtick at age 42… or should we expect more of the same from Our Savior? - Will the Patriots take the AFC Championship again (and are the Browns for real?) We wouldn’t have Hannable on a record five-times if he wasn’t pure gold, and this might be our best interview yet. Patriots and fantasy fans alike - this one is a can’t miss.

RotoUnderworld Radio Fantasy Football Podcast - Mind of Mansion, Ep 433: The Podfather Matt Kelley (@Fantasy_Mansion) and Josh Hornsby (@FantasyADHD) sound the alarm about David Njoku's role in Cleveland this season. Continuing our discussion of the optimal fantasy football best ball strategy. Aaron Rodgers ruined Jeff Janis' career, and he's not sorry. Matt Lacosse and Jacob Hollister are not draftable Gronk replacements. Treat Tyreek Hill as if he is radioactive until further notice. Sammy Watkins has not been efficient since 2015 and that matters. Chris Conley's squandered 2018 season was unforgivable. Matt Breida is the back to draft in San Francisco. Why Latavius Murray's ADP is still way too low. Is it possible that Derek Carr misses Jared Cook? Robert Foster could emerge at the alpha in Buffalo. Devonta Freeman is an auto-pick in the middle rounds. Lamar Miller is the fakest bell cow of all time. Jarvis Landry will be an excellent value play by August. Keelan Cole is being unfairly dismissed by best ball enthusiasts. Paul Richardson and Josh Doctson are ideal best ball receivers. Sterling Shepard can move outside successfully. James Washington is the ultimate sucker play in drafts. Vance McDonald is the big winner post-Antonio Brown in Pittsburgh. David Johnson will return to his elite running back roots this season. Christian Kirk is poised for a monster breakout. Desean Jackson will age better than most speedsters. Albert Wilson is a YAC machine. Stacking Bruce Ellington and Phillip Dorsett makes a lot of sense in best ball formats. Marquez Valdes-Scantling is a surefire breakout candidate. Tre'Quan Smith is a No. 2 wide receiver in New Orleans and no one cares. Demarcus Robinson could be the No. 2 wide receiver in Kansas City and no one cares. Fantasy gamers will regret forgetting about David Moore's 2018 breakout. Deon Cain is the perfect dynasty stash. Antonio Callaway will benefit from Cleveland's offensive resurgence. Hunter Henry and OJ Howard are top values at tight end. Cam Newton is the best value quarterback in fantasy leagues. Ryan Fitzpatrick is underrated once again. Josh Rosen should not be traded. Kyler Murray will make an instant fantasy football impact. Rod Smith qualifies for Truther status. Fresh fruit is a must-have brunch. The Saints will miss Max Unger more than anyone can possibly imagine. Advanced metrics, prospect evaluations, and fantasy football information were provided by PlayerProfiler.com

Then, as always, we run through The Wolf’s Higher, Lower, and Hail Mary picks at each position. Why is he getting all tingly about Philip Rivers, James White, Josh Reynolds and (puke) Kyle Rudolph? What has The Wolf down on Russell Wilson, Adrian Peterson, Alshon Jeffery, Jarvis Landry, and Trey Burton? And is The Wolf nuts for tossing Hail Mary bomb plays like Josh Allen, Ty Montgomery, Curtis Samuel, and Matt LaCosse into lineups?! We end the podcast with all our loyal Wolfpack’s dilemmas, tackling our most jam-packed mailbag yet. Preview: START PHILIP LINDSAY! With so much at stake, you can’t afford to miss the hardest hitting, boldest fantasy takes in the business. Come follow this block into the Fantasy Playoffs, Wolves!

In the latest First-and-Orange podcast episode, Broncos beat writers Ryan O’Halloran and Kyle Fredrickson break down three players who began the year deep down the depth chart and rose to prominent late-season roles due to Denver injuries: tight end Matt LaCosse, right guard Elijah Wilkinson and linebacker Josey Jewell.

It's all about tight ends -- past and present. We start by catching up with Jeff Heuerman (0:37) to find out why OC Bill Musgrave thought he was the fastest player on the field Tuesday. At 6:37, it's on to backup Matt LaCosse, who scored a TD last Saturday, but almost lost the ball in the lights. Finally, Marc Stout and Ray Crockett visit with former Broncos team captain Daniel Graham (17:02).
