Last week without Jameson Williams, we saw Sam LaPorta get a usage boost with a 69.6% route share, a 31.6% target share, 3.00 YPRR, and a 33.3% first-read share. He was the TE8 for the week. Overall, he has a 10.7% target share, 1.85 YPRR, and an 11% first-read share. We'll see if the usage from last week carries over into Week 9, but the matchup is right for it, too. Green Bay has allowed the fifth-most receiving yards and the 12th-highest fantasy points per game to tight ends.

Sam LaPorta leads pass-catchers in Week 8 win over Titans

Sam LaPorta hauled in all six of his targets for 48 yards and one touchdown in the Lions' 52-14 win over the Titans in Week 8.

Fantasy Impact

LaPorta has fought consistency as part of the offense of late, finishing with two targets or less in three of the last five games for the Lions. The talented tight end will look to provide fantasy managers more consistent output moving forward, with a tough Week 9 matchup against the Green Bay Packers up next.
