Fantasy Impact:

There has been concern about LaPorta's availability for Sunday after he sustained a calf injury in practice this week, but he is participating at practice on Friday and expects to play on Sunday. An official decision will be made closer to game time, but it sounds like the star rookie tight end will be on the field in Week 6, making him a must-start option for fantasy purposes.
