Lions' Sam LaPorta: Limited by game script
LaPorta recorded two receptions on three targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 24-14 win over the Packers.
LaPorta finished tied for second on the team with three targets, but the Lions played from ahead and leaned on their run game with rain consistently falling. He managed a 19-yard reception on Detroit's first offensive possession, though he made very little impact thereafter. LaPorta now has two or fewer receptions in five of his eight games while being held under 30 yards on three occasions.

Lions' Sam LaPorta: Soaks up six targets
LaPorta recorded six receptions on six targets for 48 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 52-14 win over the Titans.
LaPorta recorded a total of two receptions on three targets combined across his last two games, so any increase in involvement would have been positive. Sunday's performance was even better than it first appears, however, because Jared Goff attempted only 15 total passes due to game script. LaPorta also managed his second touchdown in his last three contests on a pass delivered by running back David Montgomery from three yards away on a trick play. LaPorta could be in for another solid performance in Week 9 against Green Bay due to Jameson Williams (suspension) being sidelined once again.

Lions' Sam LaPorta: Second straight one-catch tally
LaPorta secured one of two targets for 25 yards in the Lions' 31-29 win over the Vikings on Sunday.
For the second consecutive week, LaPorta was limited to a sole catch, although it was once again a 20-plus yard grab. Nevertheless, the fact the talented tight end has drawn just three targets on 50 Jared Goff dropbacks over the last two games is concerning from a fantasy standpoint, irrespective of the second-year pro's recent knack for chunk plays. More useful volume could also be hard to come by in a Week 8 home matchup against a Titans defense that's been notoriously stingy against tight ends this season despite the team's poor record.

Lions' Sam LaPorta: Impactful with lone catch
LaPorta recorded one reception on one target for 52 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 47-9 win over the Cowboys.
While game script dictated limited target volume for most of Detroit's pass catchers, LaPorta's lack of involvement in the offense remains alarming. He has yet to top five targets -- he's only reached that mark in Week 1 -- this season while managing to top 50 receiving yards in two matchups. Despite those concerning numbers, LaPorta did deliver with his lone catch Sunday, which was a 52-yard touchdown that came on a trick play.
