Let’s turn to our Fantasy game changers for this week powered by Ram Trucks.
All right, this is where we identify some of the most impactful players in one of the top Fantasy matchups on the schedule.
The highest total of the week this week, 52.5.
That means we’re talking about Detroit, the visiting the Dallas Cowboys, the Lions taking on the Cowboys again 52.5.

That by came at exactly the right moment for Laporta, I think, uh he’s pretty clearly getting healthier.
Laporta was the second most heavily targeted tight end last year inside the 10 yard line and I think we’re going to see some of those looks return eventually.

Dallas is a compromised defense right now too and they weren’t playing all that well before they lost Parsons and Lawrence.
Um, so this is just a terrific breakout spot for Laporta.

All right, Matt Harmon, give us who you’ve got is your fantasy…
