Amon-Ra St. Brown
WR - Detroit Lions
Amon-Ra St. Brown hauled in 11 of his team-leading 19 targets for 119 yards in the Lions' 20-16 Week 2 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Fantasy Impact
St. Brown returned to form after being held in check in Week 1, operating as the clear No.1 option for quarterback Jared Goff in the passing game all day long. The wideout should remained locked in lineups with WR1 expectations, with a Week 3 road matchup against the Arizona Cardinals ahead.
Amon-Ra St. Brown caught 3-of-6 targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Los Angeles Rams.
Fantasy Impact
St. Brown had one of his worst games in recent memory on Sunday. He totaled just 13 points over the course of the day, and he was completely outshined by Jameson Williams, who totaled over 120 yards and a touchdown in the season opener. The star wideout should bounce back in the near future, but he may have a little less upside than initially expected if Williams continues to see this level of involvement in the offense.
Amon-Ra St. Brown appears to be in peak form and has been "superb" in his fourth NFL training camp.
Fantasy Impact
According to ECR, the 24-year-old WR is currently going eighth off the board (WR5), and his projections suggest he will be worth the high price tag. St. Brown had a 30% target share and 34% air yards share in 2023, and there's every reason to believe these numbers will continue this season.
