Matt Waldman on Sam LaPorta

From the video

Sam Leaporta sounds like he's recovering nicely from his situation, the back surgery, had the herniated disc. He is fully cleared for training camp. I know that doesn't excite Matt Waldman, but I'm a little enthusiastic about it. when he went down, he was what, seventh in points per game last year when he when he went a season that ended. I am now because I think Bob Bob made a compelling case a few weeks ago when we talked about him that the the back issue isn't as as um concerning as some people think. now we're looking at a range of him possibly being the very solid number four option in this offense and he might be able to increase that with an injury. the problem for me isn't Leaporta's talent or injuries at this point now. It's the fact that Jamir Gibbs, you know, is probably going to get somewhere between 80 and 90 targets. Aman Ross St. Brown's going to lead this team in targets, probably somewhere between 130 to 150. And then you got Jameson Williams who really has come on strong lately. I think he's at 130 targets. unless Jared Goff is gonna be throwing for 600, you know, attempts, I'm to me, I think Leaport is somewhere in the range of 70 75 targets.
