Green Bay's allowed the second-fewest points/game to TEs this season (5.0), behind only this Viking defensive unit (3.9). Not saying LaPorta's bound to bomb again, but in Minnesota's case specifically, the elevated blitz rate (42.1%) forces more blockers to the line. Be prepared for another low floor is all I'm saying.

LaPorta faces Minnesota's elite TE defense (3.9 PPG allowed) with elevated blitz rate.

LaPorta earned just two targets (1-18-0) against Green Bay, which allowed the second-fewest points/game to TEs this season (5.0), behind only Minnesota's defense (3.9). Against Minnesota specifically, the elevated blitz rate (42.1%) forces more blockers to the line, likely resulting in another low floor. The source warns to be prepared for another disappointing performance.
