From the article

There's a three-way tie in terms of target share for the Detroit Lions this season, with Jameson Williams, Sam LaPorta and Jahmyr Gibbs all at 18%. This is Amon-Ra St. Brown's team, sitting well ahead of the pack at a 31% target share. This makes LaPorta more of a 'boom-or-bust' play than a 'set it and forget' type of player, as his TE7 ECR suggests.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

LaPorta tied at 18% targets with Williams and Gibbs; boom-bust play, not TE7 material.

Sam LaPorta is part of a three-way target share tie with Jameson Williams and Jahmyr Gibbs, each at 18%, while Amon-Ra St. Brown dominates at 31% target share. This makes LaPorta a boom-or-bust play rather than a set-it-and-forget-it option, inconsistent with his TE7 ECR. The source prefers Harold Fannin Jr., Dalton Kincaid, or Travis Kelce over LaPorta.
