From the article

He dealt with some serious back issues last season, but saw plenty of looks when he was on the field. From Week 1 to Week 10, LaPorta had an 18.6% target share, which was even higher than Jameson Williams' target share. Health is certainly a question, but as a backup tight end who I don't need in my starting lineup, LaPorta is worth the risk.

STACKED’s take

LaPorta's 18.6% target share is elite, but back health remains a concern.
