Lions TE Sam LaPorta dealing with low ankle sprain

Tests confirmed low ankle sprain for Sam LaPorta, per source.

Related players: Brock Wright

Fantasy Impact:

Relative good news for the Lions' star tight end, the post went on to say. The good news is LaPorta has an extra day to get ready with a Monday night game in Week 4. But that won't make life easy for fantasy owners, especially if LaPorta is listed a game-time call. Wright could be a backup option off the wire for owners who could end up making a last-minute switch. Either way, LaPorta owners may need a plan heading into next Monday night.

Lions’ TE Sam LaPorta did not practice today due to a calf injury.

Fantasy Impact:

This would be such a bummer if he were to miss Week 6, as the TE position is short on exciting options. We'll keep an eye on his progress through the end of the week.

Lions TE Sam LaPorta projected into a "big role" starting Week 1

Sam LaPorta has been taking first-team reps since Day 1 and doesn't look out of place at all. He's still got a lot to learn, but all indications are that he's a quick study and his receiving skills are really advanced for a young tight end. He's going to play a big role in this offense starting Week 1.

Fantasy Impact:

You love to see it. For a team that set a tight end TD record despite trading away T.J. Hockenson halfway through the season, fantasy managers are expectedly excited for the rookie's fantasy prospects. Detroit TEs went for 784 yards on 93 targets last year. La Porta is firmly on streaming radars right out of the gate.

Sam LaPorta looks like the Lions TE1

We knew it was only a matter of time before he emerged as TE1. The question was whether that would occur during the season or at some point before then. But at this rate, LaPorta looks like TE1. He’s quite obviously the most talented player at the position, and he received plenty of first-team reps Sunday. He might’ve already passed Brock Wright. The only thing holding him back would be the Lions trying to ease him into NFL action. But he looks ready to roll.

Fantasy Impact:

It's perfectly natural to be trepidatious about rookie tight ends performing in fantasy right away, but we've been proven wrong more in recent years, with specialized tight ends coming in and taking a much larger workload than they historically do. With no Jameson Williams for much of the year, it's very possible that LaPorta can carve out a role in the offense right away.

As of now, he's a back-end TE2 option, but streaming weeks are certainly in the cards if he's taking a majority of the tight end snaps.
