Outlook Sam LaPorta
Sam LaPorta vs. NO — Primed for High-Scoring Home Opener
After managing a hip issue late in training camp, LaPorta was entirely removed from the Week 1 injury report and enters the regular season fully cleared. Operating as Detroit's unquestioned top tight end, he remains a focal point in Jared Goff's passing attack alongside wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown.
Detroit hosts New Orleans in a matchup expected to be high scoring, creating an enticing ceiling for the entire offense. Our weekly projection pencils LaPorta in for over four catches, 53 yards, and 12.9 fantasy points. Started in 90% of leagues, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats.
