Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has established himself as one of the most consistent wideouts in the NFL, topping 115 catches and 1,200 receiving yards while scoring double-digit touchdowns in each of the past two seasons. However, St. Brown has historically been held relatively in check by his 2025 Week 1 opponent, the Green Bay Packers. In eight career games against Green Bay, St. Brown has totaled 47 catches for 481 yards and three touchdowns. He failed to reach 60 yards receiving in either of his two matchups against the Packers last season. One potential variable for 2025 is Green Bay's addition of star edge rusher Micah Parsons (back), who is officially questionable for Week 1 with a back injury but is expected to play. St. Brown is a master of intermediate and short-area route running, so he could be targeted frequently in the quick passing game if Parsons is putting pressure on Lions quarterback Jared Goff. St. Brown profiles as a low-end fantasy WR1 in Week 1 despite the potentially sub-optimal matchup.

The Detroit Lions offense has had a learning curve this summer with the transition from former offensive coordinator Ben Johnson to new OC John Morton, but the offense reportedly looked dominant in joint practice with the Miami Dolphins on Wednesday and could be finally hitting its stride with the regular season quickly approaching. Wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown was the best player on both teams on Wednesday. "We feel like as an offense maybe this camp there has been some struggles for us as an offense. But I think that's normal. You got new coaches and different moving parts and you're going against a really good defense every day," St. Brown said. The 25-year-old caught 115 passes for 1,263 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2024 and is arguably the best slot receiver in the league. Jameson Williams could demand more targets this year, though, potentially making St. Brown a bust candidate as a top-five fantasy wideout.

The Athletic's Colton Pouncy writes that Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (knee) took part in training camp practice on Sunday. St. Brown had offseason surgery to clean up his knee, but the fact that he's already taking part in on-field work at training camp this summer is a sign that it shouldn't be an issue when the regular season kicks off in early September. It wouldn't be a surprise if the 25-year-old is limited in some workouts early in camp, but all signs point to him being fine for fantasy managers to begin the 2025 campaign. In 2024, St. Brown had 115 receptions for 1,263 yards and 12 touchdowns in 17 regular-season games on 141 targets, and he should continue to be quarterback Jared Goff's primary passing-game target in new offensive coordinator John Morton's scheme. RotoBaller has St. Brown ranked as the No. 7 wideout.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (knee) underwent a cleanup procedure on his knee following the 2024 campaign but is expected to be ready for training camp. While it's never encouraging to hear about a player going under the knife, this procedure is a minor one and should not impact his ability in 2025. Over the last three seasons, St. Brown has averaged 113.3 receptions, 1,313 receiving yards, and 9.3 receiving touchdowns. Assuming he doesn't suffer any setbacks, the USC product remains a clear WR1 in fantasy football. Although offensive coordinator Ben Johnson is gone, he should remain the target hog in Detroit's offense.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown caught eight of his 10 targets for 137 yards during Saturday's Divisional Round loss to the Washington Commanders. The 25-year-old put together an impressive showing, but it wasn't enough to fend off a relentless Washington team. St. Brown and his Lions will fall short of a Super Bowl for the second consecutive season, and preparation for the 2025 season will commence immediately. Those preparations could look a little different, though, if offensive coordinator Ben Johnson accepts a head coaching job elsewhere. A new offensive scheme could throw a learning curve at St. Brown, but he'll likely be able to adapt and remain a mid-to-high WR1 for fantasy purposes. Fantasy managers should anticipate St. Brown being selected in the first round of fantasy drafts next summer.
Jan 19, 2025 12:23 AM EST
Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has the potential to lead his position in fantasy points during Saturday's playoff game against the Washington Commanders. St. Brown was the overall WR1 in two different games during the 2024 regular season, and now, he has a chance to replicate that finish in an exciting playoff battle against the Commanders. The path to more fantasy glory could face some adversity, of course, against a Washington defense that has been under the radar this year. The Commanders have allowed the fewest receptions to opposing wide receivers, and they also rank in the top half of the league in terms of points allowed. St. Brown has repeatedly shown that he can overcome tough matchups, but his path to doing so may be a little tougher than for someone like Puka Nacua, who takes on the Philadelphia Eagles. As a result, Nacua is the overall WR1 and St. Brown is the overall WR2 in fantasy rankings, but the latter has an equally strong chance to finish this season as the highest-scoring fantasy receiver.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown caught six of his seven targets for 77 yards during Sunday's Week 18 win over the Minnesota Vikings. St. Brown had been riding a three-game touchdown streak, so fantasy managers will be understandably disappointed he didn't find the end zone on Sunday night despite leading the Lions in receiving yards. He finished the regular season as the overall WR3 in PPR leagues, and he was just 1.3 points behind the No. 2 wide receiver, Justin Jefferson. All in all, it was an impressive year for the 25-year-old, who totaled double-digit touchdowns for the second year in a row and set a career-high for number of visits to the end zone. Even with the Lions' offense placing attention on Jameson Williams, Sam LaPorta, Jahmyr Gibbs, and David Montgomery, fantasy managers were able to enjoy the fact that St. Brown carved out an enormous role for himself and delivered a terrific season once again, playing in all 17 games. He should be a mid-first-round pick in 2025 fantasy drafts, and managers could absolutely justify making him the second wide receiver off the board after Ja'Marr Chase.
Jan 6, 2025 12:59 AM EST
Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has had another quality year, as expected. He's amassed only 1,186 yards, significantly down from the 2023-24 campaign. However, the wideout has posted a career-high 12 touchdowns this season. With the Lions looking to secure the No. 1 spot in the NFC, St. Brown and the Lions will meet Minnesota on Sunday night. He played well when these clubs met back in October, catching all eight targets for 112 yards and a touchdown. With another high-scoring contest anticipated between the NFC North powerhouses, St. Brown remains a top fantasy asset in all formats.
Jan 3, 2025 8:28 PM EST
Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown caught eight of his 10 targets for 60 yards and one touchdown during Monday's Week 17 win over the San Francisco 49ers. The 25-year-old continues to play spectacular football, finding the end zone in four consecutive contests. He also ranks as the overall WR1 in PPR leagues since Week 11, putting up a whole 10 fantasy points more than the next-highest scorer, Puka Nacua. St. Brown has some of the best hands in the league, and his availability has been unmatched. He remains a high-end WR1 for Week 18 and should be one of the first few receivers off the board in 2025 fantasy drafts.
Dec 31, 2024 12:27 AM EST
Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown hauled in six passes for 70 receiving yards and a touchdown in a Week 16 victory at the Chicago Bears. Not much was asked of the Lions' offense in the fourth quarter, as they had a two-score lead for most of the second half. Throughout the season, St. Brown has been Jared Goff's go-to target, averaging a 25.4% target share, 75 receiving yards per game, and having 11 touchdowns. This week, the Lions travel to San Francisco to take on the 49ers in a rematch of last year's NFC title game. Look for St. Brown to have a big game, as the Lions are four-point favorites on the road and want to keep pushing for that No. 1 spot in the NFC. Fantasy Managers can start St. Brown with confidence in Week 17. RotoBaller ranks him as our WR3 for the week.
Dec 27, 2024 12:07 PM EST
Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown hauled in six passes for 70 receiving yards and a touchdown in a Week 16 victory at the Chicago Bears. St. Brown did not have one of his boom games but was productive in the team's 34-17 win. A week after seeing a season-high 18 targets, St. Brown was targeted eight times by Jared Goff against the Bears and was able to haul in an 8-yard touchdown catch. He didn't see the volume in this one but made the most of his targets and found the end zone to reward fantasy playoff managers.
Dec 22, 2024 6:27 PM EST
Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown is coming off a monster performance against the Buffalo Bills in Week 15. He faces a tough test in Week 16 at the Chicago Bears but should produce for fantasy managers in the fantasy playoffs. The Bears' defense allows the second-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season. Chicago held St. Brown in check in Week 13 in Detroit as the talented receiver hauled in five passes for 73 yards on seven targets. Last week, St. Brown had a season-high 18 targets in the team's loss to Buffalo. The volume will not be as heavy in Week 16 but look for St. Brown to be involved as the team's biggest target in the passing game. If the Lions find success on the ground, they could lean into the rushing attack in this game so the game script could be very different from last week. It doesn't figure to be a huge breakout game for St. Brown for the second week in a row but look for a solid performance in this game.
Dec 21, 2024 8:44 AM EST
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.
Dec 15, 2024 8:28 PM EST
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.
Dec 14, 2024 9:05 AM EST
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.
Dec 6, 2024 10:42 AM EST
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.
Dec 4, 2024 8:30 PM EST
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.
Nov 29, 2024 9:57 AM EST
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.

Nov 28, 2024 11:08 AM EST
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.
Nov 27, 2024 4:13 PM EST
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.
