Sam LaPorta

DETTE • #87

Sam LaPorta caught 5-of-7 targets for 54 yards in the Lions’ Week 14 win over the Packers.

Both LaPorta’s five grabs and 54 yards were his second most of the season, which tells you all you need to know about how his fantasy campaign has been going. This evening he was out-targeted by both Jameson Williams and Tim Patrick. For whatever reason — perhaps injury considering how many ailments LaPorta has been listed with since last January — it just isn’t happening for the second-year pro. He’ll slot somewhere into the TE10-14 range for Week 15 against a Bills defense that is best attacked on the ground.
