Sam LaPorta's Struggles Continue With Another Dud In Week 7

Sunday, October 20, 8:25 PM

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta struggled in Week 7, contributing minimally in the 31-29 win over the Minnesota Vikings. LaPorta managed just one catch on two targets for 25 yards, marking another disappointing performance. He has now finished with single-digit fantasy points in five of six games this season, a sharp contrast from his consistency last year. Despite the Lions' offensive success, LaPorta's role remains limited, leaving fantasy managers searching for answers. The Lions will aim to get him more involved in their Week 8 home matchup against the Tennessee Titans.

Puka Nacua Breaks Century Mark In First Game Back

Friday, October 25, 9:46 AM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua returned in a big way on Thursday night to help the team beat the Minnesota Vikings by a score of 30-20. While he may not have made a trip to the end zone, Nacua finished with seven receptions for 106 yards on nine targets and received two carries for five yards. Right away, even with Cooper Kupp back in the fold, Nacua was Matthew Stafford's top target. He didn't show many signs of rust or lingering pain, so Nacua should be back in fantasy lineups moving forward if he wasn't already.
