- Okay, we have to talk about Sam LaPorta. LaPorta, the reigning TE1 overall, is currently the TE17 on the season. He has a target share of 10.1% and is averaging just 7.8 fantasy points per game. The emergence of Jameson Williams and more attention from defenses than he got during his rookie season have made LaPorta an afterthought in the Lions offense. In dynasty, you are holding unless you get a strong offer. In redraft, he continues to float in the TE6-15 range. I know it is a large range, but that is what the tight end position has become. Anyone with upside and a pulse can find themselves here if they are on a high-powered offense. He is a touchdown-dependent TE1 right now, but it doesn’t feel good to start him. The hope is that last week’s big play touchdown can get him going.
