From the episode

he was better than all of the rookies as a rookie. And he was better than all of the rookies last year... he was tight end seven. On 5.4 targets per game, by the way.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Laporta outperformed all rookie TEs last year on just 5.4 targets per game.

Laporta was better than all rookie tight ends last year and in his rookie season, outperforming Brock Bowers, Tatum Musselman, and Jared Smock in fantasy points per game despite receiving only 5.4 targets per game. His rookie year featured Jameson Williams as a non-factor, and the source frames target competition with Williams as a false concern: when Laporta is on the field, Williams must adjust, not vice versa.
