Lions tight end Sam LaPorta posted five receptions for 48 yards on eight targets in Week 1 against the New Orleans Saints.

Huddle Up: LaPorta was a stud fantasy option in 2023, his rookie season, and he had a decent follow up in 2024. He had 17 total touchdowns in his first two NFL seasons, but injuries limited him to just 10 games, including one in 2025, across the past two campaigns. If he can get back to his pre-injury form, fantasy managers who rolled the dice on LaPorta could be getting as steal. He is off to a decent enough start.
