LaPorta's elite efficiency (TE4 in EPA/target) offset by low volume in balanced offense.
Sam LaPortaTEDET
LaPorta only played the first 10 weeks when the Lions were second in points per game (31.4) and third in EPA per dropback, yet was only TE15 in expected half-PPR points on 5.4 targets per game with no weekly floor due to volume. The risk persists in a balanced offense with Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams competing for looks. However, LaPorta is a star on film with elite advanced stats: second in success rate (67%), fourth in EPA per target (+0.74), and fifth in yards per target (10.1).
