Funny quirk of last year, but Amon-Ra St. Brown actually scored more points in games with Sam LaPorta than without.
Wk1-10 Goff threw for 248.3 yrds/gm & 74% completion rate
Wks11-18, 291.1 yrds/gm but only 62% completion rate
ARSB had 8 TDs while LaPorta was healthy, but only three with him out.
Wk1-10 87% catchable tgt rate in the red zone
Wk11-18 64%
Kind of hard to point to what the problem was. Goff still felt happy throwing to him, and was throwing at a higher rate than early in the year with LaPorta. It just didn't result in TDs.
This isn't something I'm expecting to be overly influential this year, just a weird quirk really.
