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

It's Beat Writer Tuesday on The Athletic Fantasy Football Podcast, with Matthew Fairburn (Patriots), Jon Machota (Cowboys) and Arif Hasan (Vikings) joining Beller to give us an update on their teams. What's the driving force behind Mac Jones' performance the last two weeks? How will Michael Gallup's impending return affect the Cowboys' passing game? Is there any chance that the Vikings might lessen Dalvin Cook's load? Our beats answer all those questions, and a whole lot more. After that, Brandon Funston joins the show to open up the TA Fantasy mailbag with Beller. The guys discuss Allen Robinson's trade value, quarterbacks to stream in Week 8, Kenneth Gainwell vs. Boston Scott, and more.
