Michigan Sports Writer Dave Birkett reported that Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell spoke on Costa & Jansen with Heather on 97.1 The Ticket and said that Amon-Ra St. Brown's (ankle) availability vs. Dallas, he probably won't know till gameday or the day before. St Brown suffered a tough ankle injury early in Week 13's contest against the Green Bay Packers and did not return, as the Lions went on to lose 31-24 and are now a few games out of first place in the NFC North. The Lions' star receiver has been a rock for this team and city over the past few seasons, and his absence will undoubtedly hurt the team's chances of being at the top of their game. The Cowboys (6-5-1) are also coming off back-to-back wins against the Philadelphia Eagles (8-3) and the Kansas City Chiefs (6-6), and are looking to make a strong push in the NFC, so with the Lions sitting at (7-5), this matchup in Week 14 is massive between the two squads fighting for a Wild Card spot. Fantasy managers with St. Brown will want to keep their eyes on his progress throughout the week. If he can't go, Jameson Williams would operate as the Lions' No. 1 receiver, and Isaac TeSlaa could be a sneaky play in Week 14.

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell called star wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) "day-to-day" with an ankle injury, and said he doesn't know what that means for St. Brown's status in Week 14 and 15, per Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press. St. Brown was forced to exit in the first quarter from Detroit's Thanksgiving Day loss to the Green Bay Packers after getting rolled up on. The 26-year-old has previously been classified as week-to-week, although it doesn't sound as though there's been much concrete change since his initial injury diagnosis. The Lions will take on the streaking Dallas Cowboys in Week 14 next Thursday night. In addition to St. Brown, Detroit may be without tight end Brock Wright (neck) and wide receiver Kalif Raymond (ankle) against Dallas. Lions wideout Jameson Williams stepped up with a huge performance in Week 13 after St. Brown went down, and depth wide receivers Isaac TeSlaa and Tom Kennedy could also be forced into larger roles if St. Brown cannot play in Week 14.

An MRI exam and other tests confirmed that Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) suffered a low-ankle sprain with no structural damage in the Thanksgiving Day loss to the Green Bay Packers, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The Lions are expecting St. Brown to be able to return relatively quickly, although head coach Dan Campbell said the star wideout could miss one to two weeks. The good news for Detroit is that they will play just one game in the next 16 days on Thursday, Dec. 4, against the Dallas Cowboys. The 26-year-old has been a high-end, must-start WR1 for fantasy managers all year, so the hope is that St. Brown will be in play when the fantasy playoffs begin in most leagues in Week 15. Jameson Williams had his best game of the year (seven catches, 144 yards, one touchdown) after St. Brown got hurt on Thursday, and he should operate as quarterback Jared Goff's top target for however long St. Brown is out.

The ankle injury that forced Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) to exit his team's Thanksgiving Day loss to the Green Bay Packers in the first quarter is not expected to land him on Injured Reserve, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Pelissero reports that St. Brown "likely will be week-to-week" going forward. While it sounds like the 26-year-old will return this season, he appears unlikely to play in Detroit's crucial Week 14 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys next Thursday night. St. Brown entered Week 13 with 75 receptions for 884 yards and nine touchdowns on 107 targets, so his absence is a massive blow for both the Lions and fantasy managers alike. With St. Brown sidelined in Week 13, Detroit wideout Jameson Williams recorded seven catches for 144 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets. Rookie wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa recorded a touchdown catch as well, and longtime Lions' practice squad wideout Tom Kennedy hauled in his first four catches of the season. With tight end Sam LaPorta (back) on Injured Reserve, and tight end Brock Wright (neck) and wide receiver Kalif Raymond both questionable for Week 14 after being out against Green Bay, there's ample opportunity for pass-catchers to step up in Detroit behind Williams.

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell said that wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown suffered an ankle injury that isn't considered significant, but he is likely to miss one to two weeks, according to Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team. St. Brown got rolled up on early in the first quarter against the Green Bay Packers and wasn't able to return. It's relatively positive news that the Lions' star wideout didn't suffer a major injury, but he will need at least a week or two to recover. Jameson Williams went off in St. Brown's absence, catching seven of 10 targets for 144 yards and a touchdown, and should see a big boost in opportunities over the next few weeks.
Nov 27, 2025 5:15 PM EST
Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) won't return in the Thanksgiving game against the Green Bay Packers. St. Brown was initially questionable to return after injuring his ankle during the first quarter of Thursday's contest. The 26-year-old was downgraded to out and won't return. The severity of St. Brown's ankle injury is unknown, but he is expected to undergo additional tests after the game. He remains day-to-day for now. St. Brown was targeted once before exiting early. His next chance to return will be in Week 14's matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor the situation, but expect Isaac TeSlaa to see an increase in snaps and targets if St. Brown misses any additional time.
Nov 27, 2025 3:15 PM EST
Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) is questionable to return in Thursday's game against the Green Bay Packers. St. Brown headed to the locker room after getting his ankle rolled up by his offensive line teammates in the first quarter. He was spotted with a noticeable limp and was targeted once before exiting early. Jameson Williams and Isaac TeSlaa should see an increase in targets with St. Brown sidelined. RotoBaller will continue to provide updates as they come in, and the severity of St.Brown's injury should be known soon.

Across 11 games this season, Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has hauled in 75 receptions for 884 yards and nine touchdowns on 107 targets. Lions quarterback Jared Goff has been absolutely force-feeding St. Brown the football in recent weeks, as the star wideout has been targeted at least 12 times in three out of Detroit's last four games. The Lions have a difficult matchup in Week 13 against a Green Bay Packers defense that is currently allowing the fewest yards per pass attempt (5.9) in the NFL. Green Bay held St. Brown to just four catches for 45 yards on six targets in the first matchup between these two teams this season in Week 1. The usually sure-handed St. Brown has also struggled with drops this season, posting a career-high 6.5% drop rate. However, Detroit will be without tight ends Sam LaPorta (back) and Brock Wright (neck) as well as wide receiver Kalif Raymond (ankle) in Week 13, which should only further funnel targets to St. Brown. The 26-year-old profiles as a must-start fantasy wide receiver against Green Bay.
Nov 26, 2025 10:43 PM EST
Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown bounced back with a fantastic performance against the New York Giants in Week 12. Last week, St. Brown was held to two receptions, but he wouldn't be stopped this weekend. The superstar wideout hauled in nine of his 13 targets for a season-high 149 receiving yards and a touchdown in the win. His lone score came as an 11-yard grab in the second quarter. St. Brown will take his 75 receptions for 885 yards with nine touchdowns into a Thanksgiving matchup against the Green Bay Packers in Week 13. He'll be an obvious WR1 for that game and going forward for the rest of the season.
Nov 23, 2025 6:12 PM EST
Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown had one of the least efficient games of his career in his team's Week 11 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, hauling in just two of 12 targets for 42 yards. On paper, St. Brown has a much more favorable matchup in Week 12 against the New York Giants. Through 11 weeks, New York has allowed the sixth-most passing yards (2,641) and seventh-most passing touchdowns (19) in the NFL. St. Brown has earned double-digit targets in four out of his last five games and should continue to see a heavy workload in Week 12 with Lions tight end Sam LaPorta (back) sidelined by a back injury. If there's one concern for St. Brown, it's that he's struggled with drops in recent weeks and holds a career-high 5.3% drop rate in 2025. Still, the 26-year-old has been one of the most reliable wideouts in the NFL over the course of his career and remains a must-start fantasy wide receiver in Week 12.
Nov 22, 2025 12:37 AM EST
Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has been one of the most productive pass-catchers in the NFL so far this season, hauling in 64 catches for 693 yards and eight touchdowns on 82 targets across nine games played. However, the Lions have a difficult matchup in Week 11 when they travel to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles. Through 10 weeks, Philadelphia's defense is tied with the Denver Broncos for the fewest receiving touchdowns allowed (eight) in the league. Still, St. Brown should have plenty of chances to make his mark in Week 11 as the clear lead weapon in the Detroit passing game. Additionally, the 26-year-old's already sizable target share could get even bigger due to the absence of tight end Sam LaPorta (back). St. Brown profiles as a must-start fantasy wide receiver in Week 11 against Philadelphia.
Nov 14, 2025 11:38 PM EST
Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown saw his fewest targets (eight) in a game since Week 4 in his team's 44-22 Week 10 win over the Washington Commanders. However, St. Brown remained productive, recording five catches for 58 yards and a touchdown. The 26-year-old has now hauled in 64 receptions for 693 yards and eight touchdowns on 82 targets across nine games so far this season. Even with fellow Lions wideout Jameson Williams getting more involved in the offense in recent weeks, St. Brown is the clear top option in the passing game for Detroit quarterback Jared Goff. The Lions have a difficult road matchup in Week 11 against the Philadelphia Eagles, but St. Brown still profiles as a must-start fantasy wide receiver.
Nov 10, 2025 8:38 PM EST
Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has been one of the NFL's most consistent players at the position so far this season. The 26-year-old has recorded 59 catches for 635 yards and seven touchdowns on 74 targets across eight games played. He's earned double-digit targets in each of Detroit's last three contests, and he's logged at least six catches and 70 receiving yards in every game but two in 2025. St. Brown gets a favorable matchup on paper in Week 10 against the Washington Commanders. Through nine weeks, Washington ranks last in the NFL in yards per pass attempt allowed (8.8) and 29th in passing touchdowns allowed (19). Making matters worse, top cornerback Marshon Lattimore (knee) suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 9. St. Brown profiles as a clear must-start fantasy wide receiver in Week 10.
Nov 7, 2025 9:26 PM EST
Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown continues to see heavy involvement in his team's passing game, recording nine catches for 97 yards on 13 targets in a Week 9 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. St. Brown has now earned double-digit targets in three consecutive contests. Across eight games played in 2025, the 26-year-old has hauled in 59 catches for 635 yards and seven touchdowns on 74 targets. Even in a Lions offense that has other talented pass-catchers, St. Brown has seen 30 more targets than Detroit's second-highest target earner, tight end Sam LaPorta. As long as he stays healthy, St. Brown remains a must-start fantasy wide receiver heading into Detroit's Week 10 matchup against the Washington Commanders.
Nov 3, 2025 12:59 PM EST
Across seven games so far this season, Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has recorded 50 catches for 538 yards and seven touchdowns on 61 targets. The 26-year-old has seen at least six targets in every game he's played, and he earned double-digit targets in each of Detroit's last two games before its Week 8 bye. St. Brown and the Lions will host the division rival Minnesota Vikings in Week 9. The Vikings have been a stingy pass defense, allowing the fourth-fewest passing yards (1,428) in the NFL. Across two games against Minnesota in 2024, St. Brown looked like his usual self by recording 14 catches for 189 yards and a touchdown on 15 targets. He's a good bet to see 8-10 targets in his first matchup of 2025 against the Vikings and profiles as a must-start fantasy wide receiver in Week 9.
Oct 31, 2025 11:43 PM EST
Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown caught six of 10 targets for 86 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 24-9 win over Tampa Bay. St. Brown scored his league leading seventh receiving touchdown on the season and continues his outstanding season. His streak of five straight games with at least seven receptions came to an end, but it was still a very productive day for the stud wideout. The 25-year-old has continued to dominate against Tampa Bay, finding the end zone three times in four career matchups. He'll enter Week 9 against the Vikings as a top fantasy option following Detroit's Week 8 bye.
Oct 21, 2025 12:24 AM EST
Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has been a consistent producer so far this season, hauling in 44 catches for 452 yards and six touchdowns on 51 targets through six games. The 25-year-old has recorded at least seven targets and seven catches in five straight contests. St. Brown could be set up for another high-volume day in Week 7, as the Lions will take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a game that profiles as a shootout. The Bucs currently rank 23rd in the NFL in passing yards allowed (1,520) and have allowed the fourth-most receptions of 40-plus yards (four). The last time these two teams squared off in Week 2 of the 2024 season, St. Brown earned a whopping 18 targets, hauling in 11 catches for 119 yards. He profiles as a must-start fantasy wide receiver in Week 7 against Tampa Bay.
Oct 18, 2025 10:41 PM EST
Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown was largely held in check by the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 6. St. Brown still hauled in nine catches on 10 targets, but he recorded just 45 receiving yards and was held out of the end zone. The 25-year-old has logged 44 catches for 452 yards and six touchdowns on 51 targets through six games so far this season. He should have an easier matchup on paper in Week 7 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who rank 24th in the NFL in passing yards allowed (1,520) through six weeks. Despite the mediocre performance in Week 6, St. Brown remains a clear must-start fantasy wide receiver.
Oct 14, 2025 12:34 PM EST
Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown missed the team's Wednesday practice this week due to a wrist injury, but he practiced in full on Thursday and Friday and does not carry an injury designation into Detroit's Week 6 matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs. St. Brown has been one of the most productive wideouts in the NFL so far this season, recording 35 catches for 407 yards and six touchdowns through five games. Kansas City has fielded a stingy pass defense so far this season, allowing the ninth-fewest passing yards (999) and fourth-fewest number of passing touchdowns (five) in the NFL. Still, St. Brown should see a significant target volume as the clear number one option in the Lions' passing game for quarterback Jared Goff. St. Brown profiles as a must-start fantasy wide receiver in Week 6 against the Chiefs.
Oct 10, 2025 6:01 PM EST
Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (wrist) practiced in full on Thursday after missing the team's Wednesday practice due to a wrist injury. The 25-year-old appears to be trending towards being available to play in Week 6 against the Kansas City Chiefs. St. Brown is the unquestioned number one option in the passing game for Detroit with 35 catches for 407 yards and six touchdowns on 41 targets through five games this season. If things were to reverse course and St. Brown were to miss time, Lions wideouts Jameson Williams and Isaac TeSlaa would likely see an uptick in target share, as would tight end Sam LaPorta and running back Jahmyr Gibbs. Assuming St. Brown can play on Sunday, he profiles as a must-start fantasy wide receiver in Week 6 against Kansas City.
