Sam LaPorta Week 4 Outlook - Lions at Packers

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 28th 2023, 1:05pm EDT

LaPorta is body-bagging every rookie tight end narrative. Among 47 qualifying tight ends, he ranks third in Target share (21.4%), second in TPRR (tied), and first in YPRR. Yes, I said first in YPRR. LaPorta has been carving out a larger role weekly. His target shares weekly have been 14.3%>17.1%>33.3%. His first read share has followed suit as well, going from 12.0%>5.6%>33.3%. LaPorta is second on the team behind only St. Brown in Target share against zone coverage. Green Bay is 15th and 18th in fantasy points per game and receiving yards allowed to tight ends. LaPorta has reached must-start status. Week 4 Positional Value: Top-six TE
