Lions tight end Sam LaPorta has seen a significant increase in targets over the past few games, reaching at least 6 targets in three of his last four outings. This marks a notable change from his earlier performance in the season where he did not hit that mark in any of the first six games. In the recent victory against the Colts, LaPorta's 6 targets placed him just behind teammates Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams, who both had 7.

• Sam LaPorta is becoming a more integral part of the Lions' passing game.
• His recent performance indicates he could be a valuable asset moving forward.
