LaPorta's new OC Petzing favors tight ends; expect target volume bounce-back from injury.

LaPorta was limited to nine games last season before being sidelined by a back injury, but the source suggests a strong bounce-back effort might be in the cards. New offensive coordinator Drew Petzing had an established affinity in Arizona for heavily involving tight ends in his passing attack, and LaPorta should see a volume of targets at least in line with what he received in his first two-and-a-half seasons. The source notes his well-rounded approach has enabled him to become a highly efficient asset for the Lions' aerial attack.
