Sam LaPorta at Buffalo — Prime Target in High-Scoring Showdown
Fully past the preseason hip issue that kept him off the injury report, LaPorta immediately resumed his role as Jared Goff's primary middle-of-the-field weapon. He commanded eight targets in Week 1, hauling in five receptions for 48 yards to lead Detroit's tight end room ahead of Brock Wright.
In a matchup featuring one of the highest projected point totals of the week, the Lions enter as road underdogs, setting up an aerial game script that favors LaPorta. Our weekly projection slots him at 11.7 fantasy points on roughly five receptions and 51 receiving yards. Given his steady volume, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats.

Outlook Kenyon Sadiq
Kenyon Sadiq vs. Packers — Rookie playmaker emerging with manufactured touches
After shaking off a preseason hernia injury, Sadiq wasted no time making an impact in his NFL debut. Operating behind Mason Taylor on the depth chart, the rookie tight end showed off explosive athleticism by taking a designed end-around for a three-yard touchdown while catching all three of his targets for 21 yards.
While his gadget usage is thrilling, Sadiq is currently rostered in just 34% of leagues and started in 5%. Our weekly projection anticipates a modest 6.8 fantasy points on nearly four targets against Green Bay. He remains a high-upside stash and deep-league flier rather than a trustworthy weekly starter until his route participation expands.
