Speaking of LaPorta, I think he finds the end zone to start the season. During the offseason, some of the focus was on the improved Lions offensive line and wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa moving up to WR3, while the return of LaPorta was slightly overlooked. The Saints will focus heavily on stopping the run and Gibbs, so the passing game might get more opportunities as the focus shifts to the run.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

LaPorta anytime TD at +160 favored; Saints' run focus opens red-zone opportunities.

LaPorta anytime touchdown at +160 is recommended. His return is expected to be a major factor for the Lions offense; the source notes that his return was slightly overlooked during the offseason despite improvements to the offensive line. The Saints will focus heavily on stopping the run and Gibbs, which should open up passing game opportunities. LaPorta's size makes him a red-zone target when Detroit needs a big body to snag a ball.
