34°Availability
Sam LaPorta hauled in seven of his 10 targets for 111 yards in the Lions’ 48-42 Week 15 loss to the Bills.
Fantasy Impact
LaPorta continues to benefit as part of a pass-heavy Detroit offense, recording six or more targets in six of his last seven games. The tight end should once again be involved for quarterback Jared Goff in a Week 16 road contest against the Chicago Bears.
Sam LaPorta caught five of his seven targets for 54 yards in a 34-31 win over the Packers in Week 14's Thursday night game.
Fantasy Impact
LaPorta finished second on the team in receiving in the close win. The veteran tight end has mostly been a disappointment in fantasy this season, although he has picked it up in recent weeks with three touchdowns and two games with at least 54 receiving yards over his past four contests. LaPorta will be a low-end TE1 heading into Week 15 against the Bills.
Sam LaPorta caught three of his six target for six yards and two touchdowns in the Lions' 30-23 win over the Bears in Week 13.
Fantasy Impact
LaPorta made the most of an otherwise forgettable outing, benefiting from two short-yardage touchdown passes from quarterback Jared Goff in the win. The second-year tight end has been difficult to trust in lineups consistently for fantasy managers, with a Week 14 matchup against the Green Bay Packers up next.
Sam LaPorta caught three of his six targets for 19 yards in the Lions' 24-6 win over the Colts in Week 12.
Fantasy Impact
LaPorta was unable to find much success despite finishing second on the team in targets, finishing with less than 20 receiving yards for the first time in his last eight games. The tight end will look to get back on track against a Chicago Bears defense that struggled against Minnesota tight end T.J. Hockenson Sunday in a Week 13 Thanksgiving matchup.
Sam LaPorta (shoulder) is officially active for Week 12 for the Detroit Lions against the Indianapolis Colts.
Fantasy Impact
LaPorta will take the field after being sidelined for Week 11, giving quarterback Jared Goff a plethora of options for the high-octane Detroit offense against the Colts Sunday.
