Video10 Tight End Questions with Fantasy Points' Ryan Heath!Captured August 1, 2026

From the video

Very easily my favorite is Sam Leaporta... he's going to be like a flag plant for me this year... he's averaged 15.9 fantasy points per game, which would easily have been the tight end two behind McBride last year... he is either tied with or just ahead of Jameson Williams in targets per out run in target share

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBreakout

Sam Leaporta is a flag plant; 15.9 PPG in full-time role, undervalued vs. Jameson Williams.

Favorite tight end pick and flag plant for the year; drafted several rounds later than historical ADP despite excellent full-time role production. In 18-game sample of games with 75%+ route share, averaged 15.9 PPG—which would have been TE2 behind McBride last year. Tied with or ahead of Jameson Williams in targets per route run and target share on all-pro route stats, yet Williams is drafted as clear Lions TE2 option. Undervalued relative to production when healthy and on field.
