Sam LaPorta limited to just one catch in Week 7

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta ended up with one reception for 18 yards on two targets in Week 7 against the Green Bay Packers.

Why it Matters: LaPorta had his worst game of the season, by far, as all of the passing production went to the wideouts. LaPorta had scored in two in a row, and three of the past four games, while averaging 5.4 receptions for game across the first five outings before laying an egg in Week 7. Despite the poor game, he remains a low-end TE1 in most fantasy leagues until further notice.
