Sam LaPorta (calf) trending in the right direction

Sam LaPorta (calf) is trending in the right direction to play Sunday vs the Buccaneers. He is still expected to work out pre-game before a final decision is made.

Fantasy Impact: LaPorta practiced in a limited capacity on Friday due to his calf, but the Lions still want to wait until pregame to make a final decision. While he is trending in the right direction to play, the Lions play at 4:25 Eastern time, putting fantasy managers in a tough situation if he can’t go. It’s likely the final decision won’t come until the early slate kicks off, so managers should have a backup plan in place.
