TE6 ranking with high-scoring potential despite monitoring a hip injury

Ian Hartitz ranks Sam LaPorta as TE6, citing his consistent top-tier finishes over his first three seasons and the high over/under environment of the Lions-Saints game. While LaPorta is dealing with a hip issue, Hartitz tentatively expects him to play and views the Detroit offense as an ideal environment for his role.
