Sam LaPorta in dynasty: value, format and fit

In a 1QB league he is worth 4,690, the same as superflex, because the format adjustment only moves quarterbacks. With TE premium (+0.5 per reception) he rises to 6,332. These are the numbers the dynasty trade calculator starts from; league size, scoring and consolidation logic adjust them for the trade in front of you.

The players closest to him in value are Kyle Monangai (RB, 4,618), Chuba Hubbard (RB, 4,802) and Jaylen Waddle (WR, 4,876). Inside that band, position and age decide the trade, not the raw number. A straight swap for Kyle Monangai (RB) is -1.5% for the side receiving Kyle Monangai (RB). A 2-for-1 that returns Zachariah Branch (WR) and 2029 3rd (Mid) is dead even on value before the consolidation bonus the calculator applies to the side getting Sam LaPorta.

Recent news that can move his value: "LaPorta and the Lions have broken off contract talks after several weeks of discussions, and the tight end now is set to be an unrestricted free agent in 2027, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports."
