| Ellis Johnson True North Fantasy Football | It's at the point where everyone needs to just accept that Amon-Ra St. Brown is elite for fantasy. He is a possession WR with top-tier route running and target share. Especially with their 2022 first-round pick Jamieson Williams being suspended for the first six games, St. Brown should start the season on fire. He is locked in as the top option on a potent offense that will frequently be playing from behind. It's the perfect recipe for fantasy, and you should feel good having him as your WR1 for 2023. | Finishing each of the last two seasons in the top-24 at the position, despite missing games in both seasons confirms that Higgins has the ability to be a lead NFL WR. Last season, if you remove the four games that he was hurt and played >30% of snaps he averaged 13.9 fantasy points. That would have placed him as the WR-nine if points per game behind Ceedee Lamb and ahead of Amon-Ra St. Brown. Obviously, some of his games were inflated by Ja'Marr Chase missing time, but there is plenty to go around. I am expecting the Bengals to pass more this season, and if Higgins stays healthy he could be a surprise top-10 WR. |
| Andrew Erickson FantasyPros | Amon-Ra St. Brown is one of my other favorite targets in this range. I feel so comfortable pushing the draft button on him in Round 2 with zero hesitance to speak of. His 32% target rate per route run trailed only Tyreek Hill in 2022. The Lions also own a top-10 schedule for the entire season and through the first 6 weeks of the year. With no Jameson Williams and a slate of favorable defensive matchups, there will be no stopping the burn from the Sun God himself. Detroit is tied with Jacksonville with the most favorable strength of schedule for fantasy WRs this season. | |
| Mark Ringo Sleepers and Busts | Amon Ra St. Brown continues to prove the doubters wrong. Unfortunately, because of that, he's no longer on sale. You're going to have to burn an early pick if you want him on your team. And that's the main concern I have- his price. Jameson Williams is suspended for the first six games. When he comes back, the former Alabama star WR could be a force to be reckoned with. He lit up the SEC. In addition to Williams, the Lions drafted Jahmyr Gibbs and Sam LaPorts. Gibbs is classified as a RB, but he's undersized to work between the tackles. It sounds like the Lions will use him at least some of the time as a WR. LaPorta is a TE known more for his receiving prowess than his blocking shops. All three of these newcomers will open things up for St. Brown, but they'll also steal plenty of targets that could have gone to him in the past. And even though he had a solid season, St. Brown still only had 6 TDs last year despite being the Lions defacto #1 WR. Jameson Williams could take over that role in 2023. The Lions should pass the ball a lot in 2023. The question is how will the pieces of the fantasy pie get divided? St. Brown's current ADP at WR 9 is a little too rich for me. | |
| Brandon Funston The Athletic | Went from WR2 production as a rookie to Top 10 in 2nd year - avg. line of 7 catches, 77 recYds, 0.5 TDs in past 22 games | Has established a very safe WR2 floor of 70 catches, 1000 yards and 6 TDs, unfortunately the ceiling isn't much higher |
| Derek Brown FantasyPros | Amon-Ra St. Brown proved that his sensational rookie season stretch run was no fluke as he stepped up as one of the best young wide receivers in the game. St. Brown finished as the WR10 in fantasy points per game, ranking 11th in target share, third in target per route run rate, eighth in red zone targets, and fourth in YAC. With only six total touchdowns, St. Brown could be even better in 2023 if the volume remains stable. After starting with seven red zone targets over his first four games, he only saw one red zone target over the next four weeks. Over his final nine games, he amassed 15 red zone targets. If that usage remains stable inside the 20 for 2023, St. Brown could easily be staring at a double-digit touchdown season and a top-five fantast wideout finish. | Tee Higgins saw declines across the board last season as he fell from WR12 in fantasy points per game to WR26. His final stat lines look eerily similar, but we must remember he accomplished his 2021 accolades in only 14 games. Higgins saw declines in his PFF receiving grade (82.8 vs. 78.8), target share (23.9% vs. 18.6%), and yards per route run (2.18 vs. 1.80 per PFF). In 2021 Higgins competed with Ja'Marr Chase as the complimentary co-lead of the Bengals' passing attack, but we saw that change in 2022. After Chase returned in Week 13, he saw a 29.6% target share and 38.3% air yard share, while Higgins lagged at 20.2% and 31.1%. With Chase distancing himself more from Higgins in the pecking order, Higgins is best valued as a WR2 in 2023. |
| Derek Lofland FantasyPros | St. Brown had a great breakout season with 100 receptions for 1,112 yards and 6 TDs in 15 fantasy games. He should be poised for another WR1 year on a Lions offense that is on the ascent. | Higgins posted 74 receptions for 1,035 yards and 7 TDs in 14 fantasy games. Higgins should be a low-end WR1 playing on one of the best passing offenses in the NFL. |
