Sam LaPorta vs Jadarian Price

“Sam LaPorta is healthier, but the Lions were bad last season, and the most important thing is that they might have a competent play-caller once again in Drew Petzing. The team has said they want to lean into what Jared Goff does best by using play-action passes heavily.”

“Round 8: Sam LaPorta (TE – DET) I wanted to add more tight ends given the TE-Premium setting, and Sam LaPorta is a great target.”

“Fantasy players should take Tyler Warren a few picks earlier or wait nearly two rounds to select Sam LaPorta (TE8).”

“This stretch of games from Weeks 11-18 also coincided with Sam LaPorta ‘s absence, which increased Gibbs’ passing game usage.”

“Sam LaPorta – 2.14 Browns QBs through 5 training camp practices, per ESPN Cleveland:”

“Most playoff receiving yards ever by a rookie TE (193), passing Sam LaPorta”

“Round 9: Sam LaPorta (TE – DET) Since the FLEX spot allows for tight ends, I made a dart-throw pick on Sam LaPorta.”

“Sam LaPorta has dealt with injuries in the last two seasons, to the point where I don’t want to target him this season. His rookie year breakout feels like ages ago.”

“Sam LaPorta (TE – DET) LaPorta is currently the TE8, 84th overall, a range one analyst would easily take him from over two tight ends ranked just ahead of him. He’s been fully cleared from a herniated disc heading into camp and isn’t expected to miss any time, news that should push his price up over the coming weeks.”

“From Weeks 1-10, including a Week 8 bye week, LaPorta was the TE8 in PPR leagues. He averaged 11.9 fantasy points per game, catching 40 passes for 489 yards and three touchdowns before the injury. In that span, he had an 18.6% target share, which was second on the team behind wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (31.2%).”

“Sam LaPorta was the counter-pick, a name being drafted at a discount after a frustrating, injury-interrupted season.”

“This brings us to TE Sam LaPorta . Historically, he had been one of those middle-round TEs that Jason was avoiding like the plague. But now that he has been slipping to rounds 9-10, he’s an excellent pick when taking opportunity/cost into consideration.”

“Jadarian Price , the first-round rookie stepping into the role Kenneth Walker III vacated.”

“Jadarian Price is a bit of a mystery box after spending most of his college career behind Jeremiyah Love at Notre Dame. He wasn’t asked to catch many passes, but that doesn’t mean he can’t.”

“Beat writer predicts "heavy dose" of George Holani Rookie Jadarian Price is ready to lead the Seattle Seahawks' backfield while it waits for Zach Charbonnet to return.”

“Jadarian Price ( SEA) : ADP 59.8 | RB 26 The Seahawks lost Kenneth Walker III in free agency, while Zach Charbonnet is coming off a torn ACL and likely won’t be ready to play until the midway point of the season.”

“” – Kevin English ( Draft Sharks ) Jadarian Price (RB – SEA) “I’m targeting Seahawks rookie Jadarian Price in every draft. Let me start by saying that during the pre-draft process, I wasn’t in love with Price and his skill set, but if we have learned anything, it’s that opportunity matters more in redraft fantasy leagues than talent.”

“There’s uncertainty surrounding Zach Charbonnet ‘s availability in Week 1. If he’s out, first-round draft pick Jadarian Price has a chance to become the No. 1 RB in this offense.”

“Jadarian Price (RB – SEA) Going in a similar range to Tuten, Price offers a real boom case if his skill set fits his team’s scheme as well as expected, potentially relegating the incumbent starter to a backup role once that player returns from a serious injury.”

“Price is a wonderful rushing talent ranking 25th and fifth in yards after contact per attempt, 31st and 3rd in breakaway rate, and 15th and 39th in elusive rating over the last two seasons in college (per PFF). Price is an intriguing RB2 with a ton of upside in 2026.”

“Jadarian Price was selected in the first round of the NFL Draft by the Seahawks to be their new Kenneth Walker (and maybe more). Walker led the backfield last year for Seattle, but they limited his usage in the red zone and in the passing game.”

“Round 7: Jadarian Price (RB – SEA) Fellow Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet is still recovering from his knee injury, meaning first-round rookie Jadarian Price has a chance to become the lead back.”
