Video: Top 20 Tight Ends for 2026 Fantasy Football – Tier Breaks You Need to Know!
Sam Laaporta, I think I' I'd be a little bit more likely to draft Leaporta... He's also coming off an injury, so he has back surgery... he did set a careerhigh 59 receiving yards per game last season

STACKED’s take

Positive signalInjury

Laporte's better injury recovery timeline makes him preferable to Craft at same ADP.

Laporte is coming off back surgery (herniated disc) and goes in mid-to-late seventh round ADP, similar to Tucker Craft but with a better injury outlook. He will start camp fully healthy with a full training camp ahead, unlike Craft who is only weeks removed from ACL surgery. Laporte set a career-high 59 receiving yards per game last season in nine games before the back injury. The source is more likely to draft Laporte than Craft at the same ADP due to superior injury recovery timeline and positivity around his health status.
