BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: High-End TE1
ANALYSIS: Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta continues to have one of the best rookie seasons at the position in recent memory, catching 64 passes for 679 yards and six touchdowns so far this season.
Last week, LaPorta had his best game of the season in a 33-28 win over the New Orleans Saints, catching all nine of his targets for 140 yards and a touchdown. It was the second game in a row that LaPorta has found the end zone.
This week, he faces the Chicago Bears, who allow the eighth-most passing yards per game in the NFL. Now, there is some reason for concern when it comes to LaPorta this week, as he's already had one chance to face the Bears this season. Back on Nov. 19, he had his worst game of the season against Chicago, tying his season-low in receptions with three and finishing with just 18 yards, the only time all year he's had fewer than 30 receiving yards in a game.
While that game is worth mentioning, LaPorta's overall production this season means that it can't be the deciding factor in playing him or not. If you have Sam LaPorta on your fantasy team, he will be in your lineup in Week 14.
