More on LaPorta and the TE board
He's a depth option, not a priority pick: #77 overall, #6 at his position. Draft late or stream based on matchups.
His current ADP in ESPN drafts is 74.3 (roughly round 7 in a 12-team league). We rank him #54 in 1QB Full-PPR drafts, so he is a value at that price.
We project 13.2 PPR points per game across an expected 9 games — approximately 119 points for the season. His typical game last season landed between 7.4 and 19.8 (middle 50% of results), and that puts him #69 in projected scoring (#54 on the 1QB draft board once positional value is applied).
He delivered at least 75% of his average in 50% of games, with a floor of 2.8 and a ceiling of 22.4 fantasy points. He boomed (125%+ of average) in 50% of games and busted (under half his average) in 17%.
