I don't feel Is unreasonable To expect A big Bounce back... He actually Has more Upside and a Higher Floor Than Tucker Craft

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

LaPorta is a safe, high-upside tight end option for the upcoming season.

Deepak Chona notes that while LaPorta's spinal disc surgery carries long-term re-injury risks, he is expected to have a big bounce-back season. Matt Kelley views him as a steady, high-floor option who is less risky than Tucker Kraft and offers more upside due to his offense.
