Outlook Sam LaPorta
Sam LaPorta @ ARI — Poised for High-Scoring Matchup
LaPorta is healthy and fully entrenched as Detroit's lead tight end. Despite background chatter regarding contract extension talks, his on-field role remains rock-solid. He is fresh off a monster 13-target outing against Carolina, turning that into 8 catches for 84 yards and a touchdown. Having drawn 17 targets over his last two games, he continues to operate as one of Jared Goff's top intermediate targets.
Facing Arizona in an indoor matchup with shootout potential, the scoring environment is optimal. Our weekly projection calls for roughly 5 receptions and 53 yards with strong red-zone upside (12.7 fantasy points). Rostered in 100% of leagues and started in nearly all of them, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into lineups as an elite weekly starter.

Outlook Trey McBride
Trey McBride at LAR — High-volume target earner in a potential shootout
Coming off an acrobatic touchdown grab against Detroit, McBride remains the primary weapon in Arizona's passing attack. Operating as the clear top tight end, he has commanded 22 targets over his last two games and consistently serves as the offense's top read.
Facing the Rams in a projected high-scoring dome environment where Arizona is a heavy road underdog, game script should force sustained passing volume. We project McBride for around six receptions on eight targets for 46 yards (14.4 fantasy points), making him a locked-in must start.
