Positive signalProjection

Laporta's efficiency metrics exceed McBride's career bests; TE1 upside with volume.

Laporta's career averages exceed Trey McBride's career highs across key efficiency metrics: 8.3 yards per target (vs. McBride's 7.8 career high), 7.9% touchdown rate (vs. McBride's 6.5% career high), and 2.05 fantasy points per target (vs. McBride's 1.87 best). If Laporta receives McBride's volume, he projects as tight end one; even with Amon-Ra St. Brown present, he could see 120 targets (his rookie volume when he finished TE1).
