Drafted at pick 40 in this Underdog Best Ball draft, going before Dalton Kincaid. The source criticizes this selection as a poor draft choice, stating 'that is entirely based on them taking Sam LaPorta at pick 40' and agreeing with the draft assistant that 'this team at nine that took LaPorta at 40 probably has the worst team,' indicating the pick is significantly overvalued at that ADP.PositiveProjectionJun 10, 2026
Projects for 650-750 receiving yards with approximately 4.5 touchdowns, outpacing Josh DS's projected production.PositiveValueMay 6, 2026
LaPorta, 25 years old, has been a top-10 tight end in fantasy for three straight seasons (TE3 in rookie year, TE9 last season, TE7 in 2025). His target share has been capped at only 18.6% last year and 17% the year before (21% in rookie season), suggesting contingent upside if a wide receiver like Amon-Ra St. Brown gets injured. He remains a consistent, safe option in a good offense despite not being flooded with targets.PositiveValueNo date
