Expert Note

LaPorta has practiced in full all week (shoulder) and doesn't carry an injury designation into Week 12. LaPorta is the TE15 in fantasy points per game this season, ranking fifth in deep targets and 12th in red zone targets among tight ends. He has an 11.6% target share, 2.01 YPRR, and a 12.8% first-read share. LaPorta should have a strong game against a pass defense that has allowed the eighth-most fantasy points per game and the tenth-most receiving yards per game to tight ends.
