Trends

"After pacing all tight ends in fantasy points as a rookie in 2023, LaPorta fell to eighth in 2024. His receiving line dipped across the board (from 86-889-10 on 121 targets to 60-726-7 on 84 targets), though it's notable he got back on track to some extent after a slow start. After averaging 2.8 targets (11% team share) and 7.1 fantasy points during his first six games, LaPorta leapt to 6.7 targets (21% share) and 13.6 fantasy points in his final 11 (including the playoffs). Those numbers are nearly identical to his rookie season and closer to what we should expect moving forward. Working in Detroit's elite offense, LaPorta is a solid TE1."

"LaPorta was overshadowed by both positive and negative performances throughout the Lions' offense, though he remained a steady pass catcher. The highlight of his performance was an impressive one-handed touchdown from two yards away midway through the second quarter. While LaPorta's production dipped in his second pro season, he remained a key part of the offense with 11 catches of at least 20 yards and eight touchdowns across 17 total games, including the postseason. He'll remain a key to the offense in 2025, particularly around the end zone."
