Sam LaPorta Still A Must-Start Against Packers

Sam LaPorta Still A Must-Start Against Packers

12 months ago

Detroit Lions rookie tight end Sam LaPorta caught just seven passes on 10 targets for 58 yards over the last two games. He started off the season looking like he'd contend for the TE1 overall in fantasy football, but he has cooled off in recent weeks. Still, the rookie has yet to earn fewer than five targets in any game of his career, and he has three games of at least 10 targets. That said, he remains a high-end TE1 candidate and should continue to be started in all formats. Although the Packers have surrendered the 13th-fewest fantasy points per game to tight ends, LaPorta has upside on Thanksgiving.
