13.01: Sam LaPorta (TE – DET) Also Considered: Keaton Mitchell, Dalton Kincaid, Omar Cooper Jr. Dontayvion Wicks and Romeo Doubs are now out of the picture, so Matthew Golden should see high volume entering 2026. Sam LaPorta is poised to have a bounce-back year after back surgery. When healthy, he is a top-five tight end. LaPorta finished with 81 catches, 900+ yards and eight touchdowns in the 17 games before getting hurt. Dalton Kincaid was heavily considered as part of a Bills stack with Josh Allen and DJ Moore, but I feel like LaPorta is going to have a big year in 2026.
