Sam Laora, who was it 73% round participation last week, season low... Leaporta, you know, has 84% round participation for the season. He was at 91% two weeks ago against the Packers. And he is a huge part of what they're doing on play action... 28% targets per outr run on play action. that's up from 17% uh in his overall, you know, target per out run for the season. So, he's actually set up to bounce back very nicely.

Snap dip was matchup-dependent; elite play-action role sets up bounce-back

LaPorta dropped to 73% snap participation last week (season low) against the Vikings, a team that makes pass-catching tight end roles difficult. However, he maintains 84% snap participation for the season and was at 91% two weeks prior. Critically, on play action he posts 28% targets per route run, up from 17% overall for the season. The source projects he is "set up to bounce back very nicely" against the Dolphins' play-action vulnerability.
