The Vikings have been stingy on defense, allowing an NFL-low 12.3 points per game and the fewest fantasy points to tight ends. Sam LaPorta ranks fourth on Detroit in target share at 15.2%. Minnesota's league-high blitz rate could force Goff to get the ball out quickly. But with several weapons competing for targets, LaPorta may not see enough volume to finish as a top-12 tight end.
