The Fantasy Fullback Dive Episode 13: Patriots Team Preview

We go in-depth on Tom Brady, Brandin Cooks, Gronk, the RB situation and more in our Patriots fantasy preview.

About Us: Why “Fantasy Fullback Dive?”

Just like the real game, fantasy football is truly a game of inches. From that crucial waiver wire pick-up, to the right draft-day selection in Round 9, fantasy titles are won with those hard-nosed, unsung, fullback-esque moves.  That’s where the astutely researched, undeniably bold, and unfathomably genius opinions of our very-own Wolf and Truth come in. Gritty. Dirty. Always pushing the pile. Gain that crucial yard with the Fantasy Fullback Dive.

The Fantasy Fullback Dive Episode 13:

The New England Patriots are a very strong bet to score the most points in 2017 (and possibly ever, according to The Wolf), making them crucial to understand for fantasy football owners. Thus, we are thrilled to welcome in WEEI Boston Sports Radio’s Ryan Hannable to help us dig deep and get an inside look for another fire team preview. How is Brandin Cooks and Tom Brady’s rapport developing in OTAs, and what kind of usage and numbers should owners expect from New England’s explosive new toy? What type of sense (if any) can owners make from this backfield, and should we be buying all the Rex Burkhead hype? Is Rob Gronkowski moving around OK, and is he still worthy of the #1 TE spot? Plus, on a non-fantasy note, what can New Englanders expect with Jimmy Garropollo next offseason, based on Hannable’s exclusive information from his QB coach?

But first, The Wolf and Truth breakdown what projects to be an offensive juggernaut, as records could truly be chased here. Find out why The (admittedly biased) Wolf feels Brady could have a season for the ages, and how this could alter our approach to drafting QBs. Plus, find out where all the scoring will funnel as we break down the surrounding pieces here in New England.
