Sam LaPorta Headshot

Lions TE Sam LaPorta caught five balls for the second straight game. After posting a 5-39-0 line in the opener, he went for 5-63-0 in the Week 2 loss to the Seahawks. The rookie has now totaled 11 targets for a 15.7% share through two games. That's enough to produce as at least a low-end TE1. Expect LaPorta to be ranked as such in Week 3, when LaPorta gets a plus matchup at home for Atlanta.
