Sam LaPorta is a Non-Factor During Week 7 Win

Sunday, October 25, 6:40 PM

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta was non-existent during Sunday's Week 7 matchup versus the Green Bay Packers. LaPorta has been one of the best fantasy tight ends this season, but he gave fantasy managers a dud on Sunday. LaPorta hauled in one of his two targets for 18 yards during the victory. The targets, receptions, and yardage were all season lows for LaPorta. Surprisingly, LaPorta was unable to do much in a game where quarterback Jared Goff threw for over 300 yards. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried and chalk this game up as a fluke. LaPorta will almost certainly post better results against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 8.

Brock Bowers a TE1 in Week 7 Against Rams

Friday, October 23, 3:32 PM

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers continues to weather mid-week ailments and will be a key offensive tool in Week 7 against the Los Angeles Rams. Bowers had four receptions for 70 yards in a narrow Week 6 loss to the Buffalo Bills. That brings him to 28 receptions for 382 yards and three touchdowns over four games. The Rams defense ranks second overall against the air game, so Kirk Cousins may want to take advantage and divy up his targets to keep LA on its toes. Still, Bowers is TE1 in RotoBaller's position ranking and should be a big producer for fantasy managers in Week 7.
