Sam LaPorta A Top-Five Tight End Option In Week 17

Sam LaPorta A Top-Five Tight End Option In Week 17

11 months ago

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta caught just three passes for 18 yards last week, but that does not change his status as a top-five fantasy tight end option. There's no reason to bench him in Week 17 despite the tough matchup with Dallas. The Cowboys have allowed the eighth-fewest fantasy points per game to tight end this year, but this Lions-Cowboys matchup has a chance to be a shootout, meaning it could be a fantasy gold mine. LaPorta leads the position in touchdowns (nine), and he'll look to get back in the end zone this week after scoring three times in Week 15.
