Did not practice Wednesday with undisclosed injury. Prior herniated disc history (allegedly microdiscectomy, not fusion); one informed comment suggests microdiscectomy recovery is typically reliable and quicker than fusion. Speculation includes back concern (flagged as potentially serious), groin issue, or baby-related absence. Community sentiment mixed: some still bullish at cost given recovery profile; others anxious about TE depth impact. High-upvote comment (10) notes LaPorta's surgical history supports confidence in his return timeline.PositiveProjectionAug 10, 2026
Post: Fantasy PPG last 3 seasons: 2023 TE1 (11.5), 2024 TE9 (9.0), 2025 TE7 (9.7). 2023: 27% TPRR (only ARSB higher on Detroit); 5+ targets in 17/20 games including playoffs. 2025: 2.14 YPRR (5th among qualifying TEs), 0.44 1st downs/target (4th). With ARSB off field: 38% TPRR. With Jamo off field: 34% TPRR. New OC (Arizona): 34.2% targets to TEs. Author ranks TE6 / Top 60 overall vs. ADP TE8 / 77 overall. Comments: User asks about LaPorta's health in camp and back injury from last year; another says he's 4th option on Lions with easy schedule but assuming production from him is silly.
