Outlook Sam LaPorta
Elite Tight End Production Available at an Unrealized Mid-Round Discount
Operating as the undisputed top tight end in Detroit's explosive offense, Sam LaPorta is primed for another productive campaign. Anchoring the tight end room ahead of Brock Wright, LaPorta commands a vital role in a passing attack spearheaded by Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams. His connection with Jared Goff guarantees consistent weekly opportunities.
Our projections anticipate a dominant season, forecasting LaPorta to corral 72 receptions on 88 targets for 817 yards and six touchdowns. These numbers build on his strong career baseline, including his stellar 889-yard rookie season, ensuring he remains a high-floor, high-ceiling option in all formats.
Draft market trends show his ADP fluctuating from the mid-70s down to 81 overall. This downward trajectory represents a tremendous buying window in PPR leagues. Our models suggest his current price tag makes him an absolute steal, letting managers secure elite tight end production without paying early-round premium costs.

Outlook Trey McBride
Elite Tier Status Confirmed as Core Engine of Arizona's Passing Attack
Following a monster 135-catch season, Trey McBride enters the year as a premier option in Arizona's aerial attack. Sharing the field with rising star Marvin Harrison Jr. and veteran targets like Michael Wilson, McBride commands a dominant share of targets from the tight end position. Our projections expect him to remain a focal point of the offense under Jacoby Brissett, securing his status as a high-volume weapon.
The draft market reflects this elite utilization, with McBride's ADP locked in at 15.00. While his draft cost briefly slipped to around 22 in late May, the hype has fully recovered. In full PPR formats, paying a mid-second-round price is a massive commitment, but our data validates the cost. We project him to catch 104 passes for 1,022 yards and eight touchdowns, making him a highly reliable anchor for fantasy rosters.
With a consistent 100% rostered and start rate across leagues, fantasy managers are fully bought into McBride's high floor and astronomical ceiling. His exceptional combination of red-zone targets and intermediate volume makes him one of the few tight ends capable of truly changing the landscape of a fantasy league. Draft him confidently as a top-three option at the position.
