Yahoo Fantasy Football on Sam LaPorta

LaPorta bounces back to top-five TE with softer matchup and high implied total.

Through the first five weeks, LaPorta was a top-five fantasy tight end against one of the easier schedules at his position. Then came a bye, followed by back-to-back matchups against the two toughest defenses against his position: the Packers and Vikings. A softer matchup has arrived with the Dolphins defense giving up the third most fantasy points to tight ends. The Lions are also tied for the second-highest implied point total on the slate. This all points to a bounce-back week for LaPorta, which is why he's back in the source's top five.
