Sam LaPorta In A Smash Spot Against Saints
Published: Nov 30, 2023 at 08:34 PM
Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta rebounded from a down Week 11 performance against the Green Bay Packers in Week 12 on Thanksgiving. The rookie caught five passes for 47 yards and secured his fifth touchdown of the year. In Week 13, he'll face the New Orleans Saints, who have allowed the ninth-most fantasy points per game to tight ends this season. New Orleans is strong against wide receivers, meaning LaPorta could see additional targets on Sunday. Consider the 22-year-old a high-end TE1 once again for Week 13.
