PositiveRoleJul 24, 2026
LaPorta is returning from injury and is cited as a key receiving weapon supporting Goff's elite passing volume and projection; the source identifies him as part of the Lions' receiving arsenal (alongside Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams) that enables Goff to consistently produce high passing yards and touchdowns.PositiveValueJul 10, 2026
Sam Laaporta is a boring veteran who will likely drop to tight end 8-10 in drafts but provides reliable production and can be set-and-forget in lineups.PositiveProjectionJul 10, 2026
Sam Laaporta is a reliable tight end who will be the clear number two in the Lions passing game behind Amon-Ra St. Brown; he should be fully healthy by training camp with no residual effects from his back injury.PositiveProjectionNo date
LaPorta has been TE3 (rookie year), TE8, and TE7 over his three NFL seasons; the source projects him as a set-and-forget tight end producing around 10 PPR points per game with a touchdown every other week. The source believes LaPorta is the second-most important passing piece in Detroit's offense after Gibbs, more important than Jameson Williams. He is coming off a back injury but all signs point to him being fully clear for training camp 2026 with no injury concerns heading into the season. Jameson Williams tends to eat when LaPorta is not playing, indicating LaPorta's central role in the offense.PositiveRoleNo date
Sam LaPorta is returning as one of Matthew Stafford's elite weapons in Detroit's passing attack that will help Stafford produce top-tier quarterback numbers.
