How will Sam LaPorta's undisclosed injury change Detroit's TE target share and red-zone usage in the early games?
Qwiket AI:
LaPorta's absence likely nudges Detroit toward a tighter TE rotation, raising the floor for backup tight ends and possibly widening receiver targets until he returns. In the red zone, expect more focus on run plays or shotgun sets that exploit other pass-catchers, as the Lions preserve LaPorta’s health for Week 1. If the injury lingers, the offense could lean more on Gibbs and the WRs for scoring chances, increasing the volatility of TE-related fantasy outputs.
