Sam LaPorta News
Saturday, August 1, 3:29 PM
Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta (herniated disc) has been deemed fully healthy at the start of training camp and is set to take on a large role in the Lions' offense, according to Eric Woodyard of ESPN. The 25-year-old had a disappointing Year 3 in the NFL, appearing in just nine games due to a herniated disc. However, not only is the Iowa product a full-go, but he is also set to play a large role in the offense under newly-tabbed offensive coordinator Drew Petzing. The tight end enjoyed a breakout campaign as a rookie, catching 10 touchdowns and totaling an impressive 889 yards. As a sophomore, LaPorta saw his production take a slight dip, but was still productive, scoring seven touchdowns with 726 yards. While the Detroit offense is crowded, LaPorta figures to be a primary option and is poised for a bounce-back with a clean bill of health.

Dalton Kincaid News
Wednesday, July 22, 11:08 AM
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid is entering his final two seasons with the Bills after the team exercised his fifth-year option in late March. Kincaid appeared poised to become a TE1 last season, but his season was derailed by multiple soft-tissue injuries. Heading into 2026, Kincaid's fantasy outlook has not changed much despite the addition of DJ Moore to the offense. The 26-year-old still has the opportunity to secure the No. 2 pass-catching role in a Josh Allen-led offense and be a red-zone threat capable of double-digit touchdowns. If Kincaid stays healthy, he has the chance to finally become the TE1 everyone thought he could be when he was drafted in the first round in 2023.
