Sam LaPorta vs Michael Mayer

[lukkynumber13]

I realize these two have been debated in other threads, but I feel like one single thread here would be appropriate, to discuss these two rookie TEs

Presumably, Laporta definitely has the better offense, but Mayer potentially has more room for targets? After Adams, it’s what - Meyers & Renfrow & Hooper?

If Mayer is as good as advertised, he can at LEAST be the 3rd option in the Vegas passing game, maybe the 2nd fiddle to only Adams. In Detroit, LaPorta isn’t topping ARSB and he may not even beat out Gibbs for targets, if Gibbs is truly the dynamo his backers make him out to be. But LaPorta could still be the 3rd option easily and in fact SHOULD be the 3rd option pretty handily at least for 6 games to start the year.

I think Mayer will be better in the NFL than fantasy. LaPorta is my hope for fantasy and preference overall.

Give me Mayer. I love Hockenson and he was a middling player in Detroit. Even if LaPorta is as good as Hockenson (who was a top 10 and not 2nd round NFL pick) he may not produce good stats in that offensive scheme.

I love LaPorta, he's a machine and in a TE friendly offense with little options. LaPorta is the next Kelce light.
