Why

  • Sam LaPorta is TE7 on our rest of season ranking: 11.9 projected PPR points a game over his 10 games left through Week 17, 2.5 a game above a replacement TE (9.4).
  • Week 8: 11.9 projected PPR points (vs. MIN), TE4 on this week's board. That defense allows the 32nd most fantasy points to his position.
  • His target share fell to 7% in Week 7, from 20% in his games before it.

Rest of season figures are projected PPR points a game from Week 8 through Week 17, measured against a replacement level starter at his position. Shares compare his last game with his games before it.

Who to add instead

If you need the spot, the best add at his position is Hunter Henry (NE) instead, 9.6 projected PPR points a game rest of season. He drew 150,555 adds in his busiest 24 hours this waiver cycle.
