Sam LaPorta A Top-Five Tight End Option In Week 17
1 year agoDetroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta caught just three passes for 18 yards last week, but that does not change his status as a top-five fantasy tight end option. There's no reason to bench him in Week 17 despite the tough matchup with Dallas. The Cowboys have allowed the eighth-fewest fantasy points per game to tight end this year, but this Lions-Cowboys matchup has a chance to be a shootout, meaning it could be a fantasy gold mine. LaPorta leads the position in touchdowns (nine), and he'll look to get back in the end zone this week after scoring three times in Week 15.
