RecapSam LaPorta caught 4-of-5 targets for 32 yards in the Lions’ Week 9 win over the Dolphins.
LaPorta was the only Lion outside of Amon-Ra St. Brown to catch more than two passes. He accounted for a fifth of Jared Goff’s targets, but the team’s low-volume passing approach meant there wasn’t much volume to go around. LaPorta has gone cold in recent weeks with three straight games under 40 yards. He’ll look to get back on track as a mid-range TE1 versus the Patriots next week.
