LaPorta took a step back after his outstanding rookie season, dipping from 86 catches for 889 yards and 10 touchdowns on 120 targets in 2023 to 60 catches for 726 yards and seven touchdowns on 83 targets in 2024. There's plenty of success to go around on a Lions offense that led the NFL with 33.2 points per game last season, but RBs Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery eat first in this run-first attack, and Amon-Ra St. Brown is the team's clear No. 1 receiver, leaving LaPorta to battle for secondary targets with speedster Jameson Williams, who had only eight more targets but 275 more yards than the tight end in 2024. LaPorta's 17 TDs since he came into the league are tied for the most among TEs over that span, and his 20 red-zone targets in 2024 were fifth-most at the position, so his scoring potential should continue to buoy his value, but his situation likely won't allow him to match the target volume of other top fantasy TEs. Case in point, LaPorta's 83 targets in 2024 were tied for 12th among TEs with Mike Gesicki, which isn't exactly elite company.
