Sam LaPorta Week 17 Outlook - Lions at 49ers

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Sat, Dec 28th 2024, 9:05am EST

After starting slow this season, LaPorta has been on fire recently. He has been a TE1 in weekly scoring in five of his last six games as the TE8 in fantasy points per game. Since Week 10, LaPorta has had a 17.2% target share, 1.63 YPRR, and an 18.3% first-read share with ten red zone targets. LaPorta remains a TE1 this week, but he's facing a horrible matchup. Across the last five weeks, San Francisco has allowed the fifth-fewest schedule-adjusted fantasy points per game to tight ends.
