RotoWire NFL Articles on Sam LaPorta
From the article
Sam LaPorta steadily outproduced teammate Jameson Williams throughout the first half of last season... LaPorta, meanwhile, largely missed the part of the season when Dan Campbell had Jared Goff chucking the ball all over the place.
STACKED’s take
LaPorta's TE8 price undervalues his early-season outproduction and potential for rookie-year target volume.
LaPorta is TE8 ADP but steadily outproduced teammate Jameson Williams throughout the first half of last season before missing time starting Week 11. Williams heated up after the Week 8 bye and benefited from Dan Campbell's pass-heavy playcalling (Week 10 onward) and LaPorta's prolonged absence. LaPorta missed the part of the season when Campbell had Jared Goff chucking the ball all over the place; Goff averaged 38.1 attempts in Weeks 11-18 (25.7% more volume) compared to the 30.3 pass attempts in Weeks 1-10 when LaPorta played. With David Montgomery out of the picture and LaPorta fully cleared from back surgery, there is an opportunity for the 25-year-old TE to match his rookie-year volume (120 targets, 7.1 per game) without sacrificing the efficiency gains of 2024-25.
