Sam LaPorta Has High-End TE2 Outlook Against Seahawks

Sam LaPorta Has High-End TE2 Outlook Against Seahawks

one year ago

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta caught all five of his targets in his NFL debut against the Kansas City Chiefs last week. That's not a bad way to start a season and career, so he's comfortably on the fantasy radar moving forward. In Week 2, he'll face a Seattle Seahawks squad that gave up 334 passing yards to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 1. That said, he has low-end TE1 upside but should produce at least TE2 numbers. It's important to remember rookies can struggle early on, so he's far from bust-proof, though. Detroit's offense played much better at home than on the road last year, meaning its pass-catchers could be in for a big day in the home opener.
