Sam LaPorta drafteado como TE8 y no me siento cómodo haciéndolo... Además de la lesión de espalda de la temporada pasada, que puede ser delicada para estar al 100%; trae otra lesión en la cadera... el rol de LaPorta en la ofensiva de Detroit ha disminuído y dado un paso hacia atrás. Incluso como cuarta opción por aire detrás de Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams y Jahmyr Gibbs.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalInjury

LaPorta at TE8 is risky; back injury lingers, hip injury managed, role declined.

Sam LaPorta is being drafted as TE8, but the source is uncomfortable with that valuation. Beyond his previous back injury (which can be delicate for full recovery), LaPorta carries a new hip injury that is not believed to be serious but is being managed with rest. More significantly, his role in Detroit's offense has diminished; he now ranks as the fourth receiving option behind Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, and Jahmyr Gibbs, reducing his fantasy ceiling.
