Sam LaPortaTEDET

LaPorta has been TE3 (rookie year), TE8, and TE7 over his three NFL seasons; the source projects him as a set-and-forget tight end producing around 10 PPR points per game with a touchdown every other week. The source believes LaPorta is the second-most important passing piece in Detroit's offense after Gibbs, more important than Jameson Williams. He is coming off a back injury but all signs point to him being fully clear for training camp 2026 with no injury concerns heading into the season. Jameson Williams tends to eat when LaPorta is not playing, indicating LaPorta's central role in the offense.

Source transcript excerpt
in the three years since he's entered the NFL in terms of fantasy points per game at the tight end position, he's been tight end three his rookie year, tight end eight and then tight end seven last year. And I think what gives me the most confidence is the consistency we've continued to see across the Detroit passing offense.
