Sam LaPorta (vs. MIN) is coming off a down game, and it doesn't get easier this week. The Vikings are defending every position extremely well and tight end tops the list. In six games, opposing tight ends have a total line of 16-233-0 against Minnesota, and needless to say, they're allowing the fewest FPPG to the position.
