Sam LaPorta A Risky Play With Potential In Week 8 Against Tennessee
4 weeks agoDetroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta faces a tough matchup against the Tennessee Titans in Week 8, a defense that has allowed the third-fewest yards per pass attempt and the third-fewest fantasy points to tight ends this season. LaPorta's fantasy production has been disappointing, with only one double-digit fantasy performance across six games. Over his last three games, he's totaled just 130 receiving yards on six catches with one touchdown, and he's struggled to maintain consistency. Jameson Williams' suspension for the next two weeks due to a PED violation could open up more targets for LaPorta. However, his limited 66.2% route share and low 8.4% target share raise concerns about his potential for a breakout. Given Tennessee's strong pass defense, expectations for LaPorta should remain low, making him a risky play with top-10 TE potential in Week 8.
