between the injury issues and the target competition with Aman St. Brown and Jameson Williams and Jir Gibbs. Sam Leaporta is pretty much off my board.

Downgraded 12 spots due to injury and target competition

JJ Zachariason has moved LaPorta down 12 spots in his rankings, citing ongoing back and hip injury issues and stiff target competition from Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, and Jahmyr Gibbs. He argues that to be a top-five tight end, LaPorta must be a top-two target earner, which he deems unlikely.
