LaPorta got shut down about halfway through last season with a back injury. As of July, it was reported that he was limited during OTAs and minicamp while rehabbing from back surgery. And now the latest news is that he's dealing with a hip injury that left coach Dan Campbell noncommittal about his availability for Week 1.

Negative signalInjury

LaPorta's TE7 ADP is risky; back/hip injuries, fourth in pecking order, Week 6 bye.

LaPorta is positioned as TE7 (pick 88) in NFFC Eliminator ADP but the source is fading him in guillotine leagues due to multiple injury concerns. LaPorta was shut down halfway through last season with a back injury, was limited during OTAs and minicamp while rehabbing from back surgery, and is now dealing with a hip injury that left coach Dan Campbell noncommittal about his Week 1 availability. Beyond injury status, LaPorta is likely to be fourth in the Lions' passing game pecking order behind Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, and Jahmyr Gibbs. The Lions also have an early Week 6 bye, which compounds the guillotine league risk.
