Ever since the retirement of Rob Gronkowski, the tight end position has been a headache for Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots.
The Patriots went from dominating in two tight end sets, to a team that hasn’t had a decent pass-catcher at the position for two seasons. During the 2020 season, things are much worse. Ryan Izzo was the only active tight end in Week 8 and that was due to injuries across the board.
Dalton Keene is limited with a knee injury, Devin Asiasi and Jake Burt both are on the injured reserve list right now.
