Sam LaPorta Salvages Quiet Day With Trick Play Touchdown
1 month agoDetroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta salvaged an otherwise quiet day in Week 6 with a big play touchdown in Sunday's 47-9 blowout win over the Dallas Cowboys. LaPorta finished with just one reception for 52 yards, which came on a trick play—a double reverse flea flicker—that resulted in a touchdown. While his involvement was minimal, the creative play call helped him deliver valuable fantasy points in Week 6. Fantasy managers may view this as a low-volume week for LaPorta, but his big-play ability and role in the Lions' offense keep him in the conversation as a weekly starter moving forward. Despite the low target volume, LaPorta remains a must-start at tight end in a tough matchup against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 7.
