Sam LaPorta (TE, DET): 2023 Fantasy Football Draft Values

Sam LaPorta- Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Rookies, Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~148 Overall

CURRENT ADP: ~172

ANALYSIS: 

Rarely do rookie tight ends make a fantasy impact, but Sam LaPorta will be the exception to the rule. His ADP has been on the rise lately, as the former Iowa star has been working with the first-team offense in training camp. Meanwhile, Amon-Ra St. Brown was the only Lion with over 70 targets last season, meaning there is plenty of available targets for the rookie tight end.

More importantly, Jameson Williams will miss the first six games this year with a suspension and is dealing with an injury.

LaPorta was productive in college despite playing with awful quarterbacks, totaling 153 receptions for 1,786 receiving yards and five touchdowns in his career. Furthermore, he was dangerous after the catch, averaging six yards after the catch per reception. He finished first among tight ends with at least 65 targets last season, a higher average than Dalton Kincaid and Michael Mayer.

Let's not forget that Detroit got 12 receiving touchdowns from their tight ends last year. LaPorta is a steal this late in drafts with his talent and opportunity to be an important piece of a good offense.
