Sam LaPorta Week 6 Outlook - Lions at Chiefs

By Ellis Johnson (FantasyPros), Wed, Oct 8th 2025, 9:09pm EDT

Laporta is coming off his best game of the season. Last week, against the Bengals he had five receptions for 92 yards and a score. This week, he faces the Chiefs on Sunday Night Football in what is shaping to be one of the best games of the week. On the season, Laporta has been steady, but far from the fantasy force he was a few years ago. With three games between 25 and 40 yards, and two games over 75, he is more of a boom or bust play each week. Unfortunately, the Chiefs have allowed the second fewest fantasy points to TEs this season, making this more likely to be a 40-yard floor game than what we saw last week. He is a strong option, but not a must-start in a tough matchup this week.
