Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta hauled in a touchdown catch for the second straight week in Week 6 against the Kansas City Chiefs, finishing with five catches for 55 yards and a score on six targets. The 24-year-old has 26 catches for 324 yards and two touchdowns on 33 targets for the season. He's shown signs of increased usage over the past two weeks, earning 12 targets and recording 10 catches for 143 yards and two scores. LaPorta and Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams appear to be battling to be the second option in Detroit's passing game behind star wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown. Either way, fantasy managers have to be encouraged by LaPorta's production over his past two games, and he profiles as a must-start tight end heading into a Week 7 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Arizona Cardinals announced wide receiver Michael Wilson (finger) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts. The Cards already are beaten up on offense, as the team is playing without running backs James Conner (foot), Trey Benson (knee), and quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) in the game. If Wilson is unable to return, Arizona likely will turn to Greg Dortch and Zay Jones to work behind top receiver Marvin Harrison Jr.
