Detroit Lions TE Sam LaPorta finished with four catches for 53 yards on four targets in Week 4 against the Seattle Seahawks.
Huddle Up: LaPorta has failed to pick up where he left off last season, and he has been limited to 12 receptions for 147 yards with no touchdowns on 14 targets. However, his yardage total was a season best, and perhaps he is snapping out of it. He entered with an ankle injury, and he'll have two full weeks to get back to 100 percent with the bye in Week 5.

Detroit Lions TE Sam LaPorta (ankle) was a full participant in practice for a second straight day on Saturday, Sept. 28, and was removed from the injury report.
Huddle Up: LaPorta is off to a slow start to the season but was on pace to smash his season-highs last week before getting hurt. His 2024 breakout game is coming and he remains a locked-in TE1.

Huddle Up: LaPorta won't play until Monday night this week but was a full practice participant Friday, Sept. 27, after being held out of action Thursday, Sept. 26. When healthy, he should be viewed as a starting option in all fantasy leagues.

Detroit Lions TE Sam LaPorta (ankle) fully participated in practice Friday, Sept. 27.
Huddle Up: LaPorta appears to have a good chance to play in the Week 4 game, but fantasy players will know more after the final practice of the week. He should be a starting option in leagues if he is cleared to play.

Detroit Lions TE Sam LaPorta (ankle) did not practice on Thursday, Sept. 26.
Huddle Up: LaPorta is considered day-to-day as he deals with a sprained ankle. Fantasy football owners need to have a contingency plan in place if the tight end isn't cleared before games begin this weekend, as the Lions play on Monday night. Brock Wright is LaPorta's backup, and Chig Okonkwo and Noah Fant are other last-second options for fantasy owners to consider on Monday night. If LaPorta suits up, he's still a TE1 despite a slow start to the season.

Detroit Lions TE Sam LaPorta (ankle) is considered day-to-day because of the ankle injury he suffered in Week 3, according to head coach Dan Campbell.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players will need to monitor LaPorta's practice participation this week to see if he will have a chance to play in Week 4. He will see some targets if he is cleared to play and can be a starting tight end in most fantasy leagues.

Detroit Lions TE Sam LaPorta (ankle) was diagnosed with a low ankle sprain, according to sources Monday, Sept. 23.
Huddle Up: LaPorta was held to two catches while dealing with the injury. He seems to have avoided any major damage, but managers may want to have a pivot option in place in the event LaPorta has to sit out in Week 4.
