Has posted TE3, TE9 and TE7 finishes in PPR points per game during his first three seasons, and now gets the same play-caller (Drew Petzing) who force-fed Trey McBride the football. Of course, there's a bit more target competition on the table in Detroit than in Arizona, and I don't love the fact that LaPorta is coming back from back surgery.

STACKED’s take
