Injuries cratered LaPorta's 2025 season, limiting him to only nine games. His loss was felt both in the run and pass game, as the Lions struggled down the stretch and missed the playoffs. After a back procedure, and an off-season rehab, LaPorta returned to limited work in June OTAs. His status in training camp will be a huge indication on his preparation for the season. Any missed time could mean a slow start as he and the offense adjust to new offensive coordinator Drew Petzig. Petzig's offense features the tight end, as he helped Trey McBride become a stud in Arizona, so LaPorta could return some serious value if questions about his health and contract sink his ADP.

 Week 1 in question for TE Sam LaPorta?
Hip injury
By: Mike Krueger | Thu Aug 20, 2:38 pm
|  | Lions TE Sam LaPorta’s status for Detroit’s regular-season opener is unclear after he suffered a hip injury. The star tight end sustained the injury during a recent practice and has missed multiple practices this week. "It flared up a little bit, it's a little aggravated," Campbell said Thursday. "But we feel good long-term about him. We'll rest him for a little bit here and letting it calm down." (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: Players continue to get banged up at an alarming rate. The latest is LaPorta who is bothered by a hip injury. We don't have a concrete timeline on his return so fantasy owners will have to navigate LaPorta's draft value with caution over the next couple weeks. LaPorta missed eight games last season due to a back injury.
| TE Sam LaPorta fully cleared for training camp
Had surgery last year for a herniated disc

| | Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta was fully cleared for training camp earlier this month, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler on Tuesday.
LaPorta, 25, underwent a microdiscectomy last season to repair a fully herniated disk. Veteran players on the Lions are scheduled to report to training camp next week. (ESPN)
FFToday's Take: LaPorta played in just nine games last season before being shelved due to a back injury. Being cleared for camp next week will likely help his ADP rise a few spots in the coming days. He's currently the TE7 in PPR leagues going around pick 90.
