STACKED’s take
LaPorta's 28 targets and 23.5% red-zone share ideal vs. Cardinals' weak TE defense.
LaPorta is a safe start in Week 5 at Arizona as the TE5 in points per game. The Cardinals rank 31st in pass defense EPA and have allowed the fourth-most schedule-adjusted tight end fantasy points through four games. David Njoku (58 yards), Isaiah Likely (66 yards), and George Kittle (82 yards) all had excellent days against Arizona with at least five catches apiece; Theo Johnson scored a touchdown against them. LaPorta has 28 targets through four games (third-most among tight ends) and a 23.5% red-zone target share, trailing only Amon-Ra St. Brown (32.4%) but well above Isaac TeSlaa (8.8%) and Jameson Williams (5.9%). Both the Lions and Cardinals are pass-heavy offenses with poor defenses and rank inside the top seven in plays per game.
