Nerdy Football Analysis: It’s odd to see the Patriots be so aggressive in free agency but Bill Belichick is changing is stripes in the post-Brady era.

Having both fantasy relevant TEs on the same team isn’t ideal for either’s upside but it might not matter if the offense runs through them. Both can be considered low-end TE1 options for now.
