That said, this seems like a smash spot for LaPorta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cincinnati&#8217;s defence is horrendous and has been abused by tight ends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Bengals have allowed the fourth-most catches (40) and ninth-most yards (244) to the position group so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">LaPorta hasn&#8217;t done anything special through four games. He&#8217;s averaging 44.3 receiving yards per game while going 1-3 against this line, landing on 39 yards in his last outing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also closed the 2024 season by clearing this line in six straight.
