Sam LaPorta

Sam LaPorta caught 7-of-10 targets for 111 yards in the Lions’ Week 15 loss to the Bills.

The Lions threw the ball 60 times in this game while playing the whole thing from behind, so that certainly worked in Sam LaPorta’s favor. The Bills also seemed content to let the Lions gain chunk plays over the middle of the field as long as they didn’t hit any big plays deep, which meant plenty of work for LaPorta in the intermediate areas. The passing volume may not be as high next week against the Bears, but LaPorta remains a TE1.
