Matt LaCosse, TE, Patriots | Dynasty Ranking

Matt LaCosse holds a 7.0 dynasty score, ranking 460th among tight ends. He is entering a new phase of his career at the age of 29, which could potentially bring about some changes in his role and responsibilities.

LaCosse’s recent contract extension has solidified his position within the team’s tight end corps, providing some security for his role. His contract also offers him two more years with an annual average salary of $252,000. However, this stability might not be enough to guarantee his playing time, especially with the new coaching staff in place. The team’s new defensive coordinator, Zak Kuhr, has introduced some uncertainty in the tight end role, which could potentially impact LaCosse’s playing time and production.

No injury entries in 2025.

His consistent playing time suggests a strong foundation for his role in the upcoming season. However, the introduction of a new defensive coordinator introduces some uncertainty in the tight end role, which might impact his playing time and production.

The Patriots’ coordinator, Josh McDaniels, employs a scheme that prioritizes shotgun formations, with a 53.5% rate, and emphasizes quick passing to exploit zone coverage. LaCosse’s efficiency may be affected by the scheme’s emphasis on zone coverage, which could potentially limit his production.

Declining production trends are evident in LaCosse’s recent performance.

Ceiling: TE2-TE3 if he can increase his efficiency and capitalize on more playing opportunities. Floor: TE5-TE6 if the new defensive coordinator reduces his snap share and playing time.
