Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown caught a 66-yard touchdown pass as part of a very productive statistical game in Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills. St. Brown hauled in 14 passes for 193 receiving yards and a score on 18 targets. His 14 catches were a season-high and his 18 targets tied for his season lead. The talented wide receiver took advantage of his many looks and his long catch and run for a TD in what turned out to be a huge performance during the fantasy playoffs. It was the first game with a touchdown for St. Brown in his last four outings as he bounced back in a big way for fantasy managers.
Amon-Ra St. Brown Looks For Bounce-Back In Week 15
Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has been a bit quiet the past three weeks compared to his own lofty standards. St. Brown torched the Jacksonville Jaguars defense in Week 11 for 11 catches, 161 receiving yards, and two receiving touchdowns but has not scored a receiving touchdown in the three weeks since then. In the past three games he has seven, seven, and six targets so he is still involved in the offensive game plan. The Bills defense ranks 11th-best against opposing receivers in fantasy points allowed this season. St. Brown should be heavily involved from a target standpoint as the Lions try to work him back into the mix and help him find the end zone. The Lions' passing game should lean on St. Brown, so he is looking like a decent bet to return to form.
Amon-Ra St. Brown Delivers Modest Output In Victory
Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown caught five of his six targets for 43 yards and added a 10-yard rush in the team's 34-31 win over the Green Bay Packers in Week 14. St. Brown tied for third in receiving yards in the high-scoring contest but continued a quieter stretch of games, having now totaled 16 receptions for 178 yards without a touchdown over the past three weeks. Despite the dip in production, he remains a must-start option in all fantasy formats due to his consistent involvement in Detroit's offense. Fantasy managers will hope for a stronger showing in Week 15 when the Lions host the Buffalo Bills. St. Brown remains a focal point of the offense and will look to reestablish himself as a top-tier fantasy WR.
Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown will aim to continue his steady production when Detroit hosts the Green Bay Packers on Thursday night in Week 14. St. Brown led the team in receiving during the Lions' close 23-20 Thanksgiving win over the Bears, catching five of seven targets for 73 yards. While Jared Goff looked to TE Sam LaPorta for both passing touchdowns, St. Brown remains the top option in Detroit's offense, which leads the NFL in points per game. The Packers' secondary presents a challenge, allowing the seventh-fewest receiving yards and eighth-fewest receptions to wideouts this season. However, if Jaire Alexander (knee) is limited or sidelined again, St. Brown's chances of capitalizing will significantly improve. Fantasy managers should continue treating St. Brown as a reliable WR1 despite the potentially stingy matchup.
Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown recorded five receptions on seven targets for 73 yards in the Lions' 23-20 win over the Chicago Bears in Week 13. After an impressive eight-game touchdown streak, St. Brown has now gone back-to-back weeks without finding the end zone. Still, his consistency remains a bright spot, as he has hauled in at least five catches in nine of 12 games this year. St. Brown will look to regain his scoring touch when the Lions host the Green Bay Packers on Thursday Night Football in Week 14.
Amon-Ra St. Brown Active Versus Bears On Thanksgiving
Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (knee) is officially active for Thursday's game against the Chicago Bears. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction after logging a full practice Wednesday. St. Brown has nine touchdowns over his last nine games, and he has tallied 71 catches and 747 yards en route to ranking as the overall WR2 in fantasy football this season. He should continue to be started in all fantasy leagues. Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (knee) is officially active for Thursday's game against the Chicago Bears.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday afternoon's divisional tilt against the Chicago Bears. After bringing in six of his seven targets for 62 yards last weekend, the star wideout popped up on the injury report on Monday with a knee injury. St. Brown sat out during Monday's practice and was able to improve his status each day and capped off the week with a full session on Wednesday. However, the Lions still opted to list the USC product as questionable. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status ahead of Thursday's kickoff but seeing him practice in full on Wednesday is a promising sign. After scoring just 4.3 PPR points in the season opener, St. Brown has gone on to average a stellar 19.9 PPR points per game since Week 2 and should always be viewed as a reliable WR1 in all matchups.
Amon-Ra St. Brown Returns To Limited Practice On Tuesday
After being listed as a DNP on Monday, Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (knee) was listed as limited for the team's walk-through practice on Tuesday. St. Brown is dealing with a knee injury heading into the Week 13 Thanksgiving game on Thursday against the division-rival Chicago Bears, but he's planning on being available. The 25-year-old pass-catcher just broke a streak of eight straight games scoring a touchdown in the Week 12 win over the Indianapolis Colts when he had six catches for 62 yards without a score. If active, St. Brown is a must-start WR1 in fantasy in one of the best offenses in football. He ranks seventh among all wideouts with 14.9 half-PPR point per game, and his nine TDs are second to only Ja'Marr Chase's 12 among receivers. The Bears defense has allowed the sixth-fewest half-PPR points to opposing receivers this year, so St. Brown will have his work cut out for him.
Amon-Ra St. Brown Listed As Non-Participant At Practice
Detroit Lions wide receivers Amon-Ra St. Brown (knee) and Kalif Raymond (foot) were both listed as non-participants for the team's walkthrough practice on Monday. St. Brown played 94% of the offensive snaps in the Week 12 win over the Indianapolis Colts, so it's likely that the Lions are just giving the 25-year-old star pass-catcher a little extra rest on a short week before Thursday's Thanksgiving showdown against the division-rival Chicago Bears in Week 13. Raymond, who is more involved as a kick returner on special teams than on offense, could be dealing with more of a serious injury and should probably be considered unlikely to play on Turkey Day. St. Brown is a must-start WR1 in fantasy if active, but if for some reason he doesn't play this week, Jameson Williams, Tim Patrick and Allen Robinson would be in line to start in three-receiver sets.
Amon-Ra St. Brown’s Touchdown Streak Ends Despite Win
Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown's touchdown streak ended in the Lions' 24-6 road win against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 12. The star wideout hauled in six of seven targets for 62 yards, leading the team in receptions for the day. St. Brown has now recorded at least six receptions in each of his last four games. He has also notched 50 or more receiving yards in eight of 11 games this season, further cementing his status as a reliable fantasy WR1. Though his eight-game touchdown streak is over, St. Brown remains a must-start option for fantasy managers. He'll look to bounce back in a favorable Week 13 matchup against the Chicago Bears on Thanksgiving Day.
