Who Should I Start? Amon-Ra St. Brown or Dyami Brown

Wednesday, April 24, 2:01 PM

The Detroit Lions agreed to a four-year contract extension with wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown on Wednesday that is worth $120 million with $77 million guaranteed. The deal makes St. Brown the highest-paid receiver in the league and ties him with Miami's Tyreek Hill in average annual value ($30 million). The 24-year-old former fourth-round pick in 2021 out of USC has been an excellent value for Detroit. He's made the Pro Bowl in each of the last two seasons and put up career-highs in catches (119), targets (164), receiving yards (1,515) and touchdowns (10) in 16 regular-season games in his third year in the NFL in 2024. With Quarterback Jared Goff still peppering St. Brown with targets in 2024, he'll continue to serve as a high-end WR1 for fantasy managers.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Dyami Brown caught both of his targets for 41 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's loss to the Seattle Seahawks. After being quiet for most of the season, Brown came up huge in Week 10. With under a minute to go, the third-year receiver hauled in a clutch 35-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter to bring Washington within one point of Seattle. While it was a big play for the Commanders, this likely won't lead to much consistent success for the 24-year-old. It was nice to see some positive play, but Brown doesn't hold a strong enough role in this offense to be considered an option in any format.
