By Zicpraiz Sam LaPorta is gaining attention as a dynasty fantasy football trade target after a strong finish to the 2024 season. Despite a slower start, LaPorta bounced back, especially during the fantasy playoffs (Weeks 15-17), where he was the TE1 in standard and 0.5-point PPR and the TE2 in full PPR.
LaPorta’s value is significant, with a trade value of 5,340 points. To put this into perspective, players like Rashee Rice, Trevor Lawrence, and Jonathan Taylor have similar trade values.
The case for trading for LaPorta is strong, considering his:
- Consistency: LaPorta finished as a top-10 fantasy tight end in his second season, regardless of scoring format.
- Upside: He’s still young (24 years old) and has room for growth.
- Target share: LaPorta averaged 8.3 targets per game during the fantasy playoffs.
If you’re looking to acquire LaPorta, consider offering players like Jake Ferguson and Tyreek Hill.
