Fantasy Football Player Notes

In the receiving game, tight end Sam LaPorta led the team, catching all 6 of his targets for 48 yards and a touchdown, with a long of 24 yards and significant yards after catch. LaPorta had four red zone targets and caught one touchdown. LaPorta commanded a high 33.33% target share. It's not a coincidence that LaPorta's best game to date came when Jameson Williams was out due to his suspension. Detroit could pretty much do whatever they wanted to do offensively in this spot, so it makes sense they'd feature Sammy Ballgame after he's posted lackluster numbers this season. Given that Jamo is only out one more game, strike while the iron is hot with LaPorta. It will be hard for him to produce when ancillary guys are also chipping in and commanding targets.
