Sam LaPorta
TE - Detroit Lions
2025 Outlook
Availability
Expert Note
View More NotesAfter a sensational rookie year in which he finished with 86-889-10 and was the TE1 in fantasy scoring, Sam LaPorta had a slight dip in production in 2024, with 60-726-7. LaPorta actually improved year over year in yards per catch (12.1) and yards per target (8.7) last season, but after averaging 7.1 targets per game in 2023, he averaged only 5.2 targets per game in 2024. The emergence of WR Jameson Williams for the Lions could keep LaPorta's target volume from returning to 2023 levels, and the departure of playcaller Ben Johnson for the Bears' head coaching job is a concern. Still, the 24-year-old LaPorta is an attractive TE target in 2025 fantasy drafts.

Fantasy Impact
LaPorta remains moderately involved in the high-powered Detroit passing attack of late, catching four or more passes in each of the last three games. The second-year tight end will look to continue his recent stretch for fantasy managers ahead of a Week 17 contest against the San Francisco 49ers up next.
