Fantasy Football: 5 players you will want the rest of the season, and 5 you won't
- Two rookies make the good list
- Highly-touted players make the bad list
Player you want: Sam LaPorta
The Detroit Lions' offense that you saw in Week 3 against the Atlanta Falcons is the one the organization has been waiting for, and it's slowly building. Indoors, Jared Goff is an ace and Sam LaPorta has the ability to be a top 5 tight end this year as a rookie.
LaPorta caught eight passes for 84 yards which included a 45-yard touchdown against the Falcons and as the year progresses, Goff should only lean on him more.
If you were able to get LaPorta in your dynasty league, kudos to you. You will have a great tight end for year's to come. But even in a redraft league, he is a player who can become an X factor at the TE spot, the one position you can really gain a leg up on your opponent if you have the right guy there.
Player you don't: Kyle Pitts
Similar to Najee Harris, Pitts is another guy fantasy managers just don't want to attach the word "bust" to. And though he's not horrible, it just seems unlikely that he's ever going to explode in the Atlanta offense, especially with Desmond Ridder at QB.
Pitts has nine catches in three games. He's not a player to just flat out drop, but if you can find a trade partner, take it. In a dynasty league, much like Harris, I would take a second-round pick for this guy.
