Draft note

by John Paulsen

LaPorta’s steep decline in targets per game (7.1 to 5.2) in his second season was surprising, as Jameson Williams (91 targets) took over as the team’s No. 2 target. LaPorta will likely settle in as a perennial top 5 fantasy tight end, but perhaps lacks the overall TE1 target upside with a healthy Williams and Amon-Ra St. Brown in the mix.

#Lions TE Sam LaPorta (shoulder) is off the injury report and good to go Sunday vs. the #Colts.

Related Players: Brock Wright

Fantasy Impact:

LaPorta looks like he'll be a full-go for Week 12, and he gets a Colts defense that ranks 30th in TE aFPA. He should be considered above streaming options as a TE1.

DET TE Sam LaPorta - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 @ San Francisco 49ers
Sam LaPorta had been a little more touchdown-dependent than we had thought heading into the season, eclipsing 50 yards on only four games all year while falling below 30 on five occasions. That was until his massive 10-target, 7-111-0 performance in Week 15, which was a breath of fresh air for fantasy managers.

LaPorta has sneakily hit 6+ targets in six straight games after his 4-43-1 line last week and needs to remain in all lineups, despite a tough matchup here in Week 17.
