From the article

That was a pretty solid showing and came despite several key injuries (Brock Bowers, George Kittle, Tucker Kraft, Sam LaPorta)... If you miss on those four, you still have plenty of quality-to-serviceable options, including Pitts, Fannin, LaPorta, Kittle, Goedert, Kelce, Ferguson and -- though he's a bit too pricey for me -- Kraft.

Returning from injury; available as mid-round value option.

LaPorta was among the key injured tight ends in 2025 but is listed among quality-to-serviceable options available in Rounds 9-12 heading into 2026, suggesting the source expects him to return to form.
