"writeup": "Everything about LaPorta's 2025 screams efficiency except the column that pays. Across nine games he drew an 8.9 percent target share, 49 targets in all, startling for a player holding a 90.7 percent snap share (97th percentile). On those scraps he was close to flawless: an 81.6 percent catch rate (94th percentile), 10 yards per target (93rd), zero drops, and 27.9 points above his expected total, a 1.47 ratio. The 17th-percentile air-yards share and 94th-percentile cushion sketch the role honestly, short and uncontested throws converted at an elite rate with real after-catch juice (83rd-percentile YAC over expected). Detroit remains one of the league's best environments, second by implied team total at 26.9 points a game. A seventh-round price at 78 overall amounts to a bet that a full-time player in a top offense doesn't stay under a 9 percent target share, and the projection agrees at TE7 with 148 points. He enters camp with a questionable tag, though nothing is currently expected in missed games, so the tag reads more as a draft-day checklist item than a discount you should demand.",
