DET TE Sam LaPorta - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Dallas Cowboys

Apologies if Sam LaPorta's quiet day ending your championship hopes. If not, he can still win you a title. He can really only go up from a three-catch, 18-yard day and against a struggling Dallas defense, LaPorta can pop right back up. Last week was about the ground game for the Lions. They can throw the ball against Dallas. LaPorta is worth a start in Week 17 as he looks to bounce back.

DET TE Sam LaPorta - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Minnesota Vikings

Sam LaPorta isn't having a typical season for a rookie tight end. He was a huge reason the Lions handled the Broncos in Week 15. In fact, LaPorta outscored the Broncos on his own. LaPorta had 18 of Detroit's 42 points while Denver totaled 17. LaPorta now has 758 yards and nine touchdowns this season. That's a new franchise record and three away from tying the rookie record of 12 set by Dick Butkus in 1961. Roll with LaPorta's momentum as you look to reach the fantasy final.

DET TE Sam LaPorta - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Denver Broncos

While it was always going to be tough to match his Week 13 output, it was still disappointing to see such a quiet day for Sam LaPorta in Week 14, but the Lions struggled all day on offense against the Bears. With the Lions looking to get back on track at home against the Broncos Saturday, LaPorta should be back in the mix which should still make him a worthy start for Week 15 and the fantasy playoffs. He's still getting targets -- at least five in all but one game this season.

DET TE Sam LaPorta - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Chicago Bears

Have yourself a day, Sam LaPorta. 140 yards and a touchdown in Detroit's win over the Saints last week, his second straight game with a touchdown and 6th on the year. LaPorta has an outside shot at reaching 1,000 yards. LaPorta is on a roll. No reason to shy away from him now.

DET TE Sam LaPorta - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at New Orleans Saints

Sam LaPorta saw a healthy eighth targets last week against the Packers. He caught five of them for 47 yards and a touchdown, his best performance since the Week 9 bye. He may get another touchdown this week. New Orleans has allowed six touchdowns to tight ends this season, tied for the most in the league. And with the volume he should see, LaPorta has some good upside this week, making him a very solid starter.

DET TE Sam LaPorta - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. Green Bay Packers

Perhaps Sam LaPorta was due for a poor fantasy performance as a rookie. Jared Goff struggled early which led to LaPorta's quiet day of 18 yards on three catches. The good news is he did just fine in Week 4 against the Packers, catching four passes for 56 yards on five targets. LaPorta remains one of the better tight end options for fantasy, even on a short week.

DET TE Sam LaPorta - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Chicago Bears

It was a "disappointing" fantasy performance for Sam LaPorta last week against the Chargers. Four catches for 40 yards for the rookie. It was only the fourth time this season LaPorta didn't reach 50 yards. This week should provide a good chance to bounce back as LaPorta faces one of the weaker defenses in the league in Chicago.
