Taking the fantasy pulse in New England and Dallas, and opening up our mailbag

It's Beat Writer Tuesday on The Athletic Fantasy Football Podcast. Matthew Fairburn (Patriots) and Jon Machota (Cowboys) join Beller to discuss their teams from a fantasy perspective. What's been the spark behind the Patriots' surge to the top of the AFC East? Is the division of labor between Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson here to stay? What's the status of Ezekiel Elliott and Amari Cooper ahead of Thursday night's game in New Orleans? Our beat writers answer those questions, and plenty more. After that, Funston joins Beller to open up our Athletic Fantasy Sports mailbag.
