Pharaoh Brown Returns To Full Practice

Tuesday, October 8, 9:19 PM

Seattle Seahawks tight end Pharaoh Brown (groin) returned to practice as a full participant during Tuesday's session. The 30-year-old was a limited participant during Monday's walkthrough, but appears to be feeling better now. That is good news for Brown as the Seahawks head into a Thursday night matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Brown has been quiet this season and had only one reception for seven yards last week. He figures to serve as depth with Noah Fant being the primary tight end and AJ Barner has started getting involved as well. Brown can be left on the waiver wire ahead of this Week 6 matchup.

Sam LaPorta Looks Like Good Option In Week 16

Saturday, December 21, 9:17 AM

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta hasn't had the monster season that many were predicting but he has made some strides over the last few weeks. Ahead of Week 16 at the Chicago Bears, LaPorta is looking like a good option at the tight end position. The Iowa product scored two touchdowns in the Thanksgiving matchup between the Lions and Bears in Detroit. The Bears are about middle of the pack against tight ends in fantasy points allowed, so LaPorta looks like a promising threat to score a touchdown in this matchup. In his last four games, LaPorta has seen at least six targets in each game and saw 10 targets against Buffalo last week. An increased role along with his red-zone prowess makes LaPorta a favorable start at the tight end position in the fantasy playoffs.
