From the episode
the Vikings smothered tight ends. Like last year, eighth fewest fantasy points to tight ends. This year, the fewest fantasy points to tight ends. They've only given up 18 catches to tight ends this year. Every other team has given up at least 25 receptions to tight ends and Minnesota is not allowed a touchdown catch to a tight end this season.
STACKED’s take
Negative signalMatchup
Vikings' elite tight end defense makes LaPorta a risky play despite past success.
The Vikings have been historically tough on tight ends, allowing the fewest fantasy points to the position this season with only 18 catches allowed (every other team has given up at least 25) and zero touchdown catches to tight ends all year. Last year they allowed eighth fewest fantasy points to tight ends. LaPorta is expected to replicate his tight end four finish from last year's matchup against Minnesota.
