TE 8 ADP with TE 1 upside; better value than Kelce with higher ceiling.
Sam LaPortaTE
JJ Zachariason targets Sam Laporta at TE 8 ADP, preferring him over Travis Kelce. Laporta finished TE 1 as a rookie, TE 9 in PPR PPG the following year, and TE 8 in PPR PPG last year before injury. He is a young player with significant upside. While Zachariason notes a back injury concern, he views Laporta as better value than Kelce at TE 8 because Kelce's ceiling is known and limited. Laporta is particularly attractive in auction formats where he can be acquired cheaper than his ADP, and useful in best ball for Week 17 stacks against Chicago.
