With the right combination of moves (and a lot of luck), dynasty fantasy football can be pretty easy. I say that in jest because those moves are far from obvious, and the luck seems to be as elusive as a snow leopard.
One of the more challenging positions to evaluate and make actionable progress in fantasy football every season is at tight end. Only one manager is blessed to have Travis Kelce on their roster, leaving the tumbleweeds and table scraps at the position to be warred over.

Dynasty Rookie Sleepers: Sam LaPorta
The Iowa Hawkeyes are a TE factory. From Dallas Clark to Sam LaPorta, there have been some absolute studs enter the league from that program. LaPorta really jumped up in my rankings after the draft because of when he was selected and by which team. The Detroit Lions threw a lot of us through a loop with the peculiar order in which they compiled their draft class, but there is no arguing that they didn’t drastically improve their roster in the process.
LaPorta steps in as a Week 1 starter for the Lions, who are on a steep ascent into becoming the class of the NFC North under Dan Campbell. The 22-year-old flashed incredible ability after the catch during his college career and confirmed that athleticism at the Combine. Although an adequate blocker, he is an animal as a receiver. Once he traverses a few rookie TE bumps in the road, he figures to be a perennial top-12 fantasy option at the position.
