Sam LaPorta Dynasty Value 2026
Sam LaPorta dynasty outlook: superflex and 1QB value, dynasty rank, age curve, startup and rookie draft cost, long-term market trend, production history and trade context.
Sam LaPorta dynasty outlook
Sam LaPorta is ranked #69 overall and TE7 in StatChasers' superflex dynasty rankings, a solid dynasty starter at a market value of 2,615.
He is 25.0 years old — inside the tight-end prime, which runs late. Age is weighted per position in the model value, so this is priced in rather than mentioned in passing.
Sam's dynasty value (2,615) runs well ahead of his win-now value (1,290) — the market is paying for what he becomes, not what he does this season. That is a rebuilder's asset, and a contender's trade chip.
The model values Sam +48.1% above the dynasty market, a buy-low signal: his production and age say the price is too low.
In dynasty startup drafts Sam goes at pick 71.8 on average (round 6.12 in a 12-team startup, TE7 by ADP), with a typical range of 53 to 93 across 914 drafts; his startup cost is rising over the last 30 days (+4.0 picks).
Over the longer run his startup ADP has fallen: from an average pick of 37.7 in 2024-01 to 66.1 in 2026-09, across 29 months of drafts.
Production trajectory: 11.9 PPR points per game in 2025 over 9 games, level with 10.9 in 2024, finishing TE27.
Drafted round 2, pick 34 by Detroit Lions in 2023. Draft capital keeps mattering in dynasty long after it stops mattering in redraft — teams keep giving opportunity to players they spent a pick on.
