I like Sam Laora, man. If my fantasy team just has Sam Laora as like the guy sitting in the way I like to approach tight end, it's like if I get an elite guy, cool. If not, I still want a guy that I can rely on. When all is healthy, I think that Sam Laaporta is the clear number two in the passing game behind Aman Ross St. Brown. He had the back injury last year, but from everything I've heard and expect, he should be full go by training camp and there's no actual residue left over from the injury to his back. So, I'm I'm full ahead of steam on Sam Leaporta.

Sam Laaporta is a reliable tight end who will be the clear number two in the Lions passing game behind Amon-Ra St. Brown; he should be fully healthy by training camp with no residual effects from his back injury.
