Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown delivered a clutch performance in Week 7, helping secure a 31-29 win over the Minnesota Vikings.

He made a critical reception late in the game during the Lions' final drive, setting up kicker Jake Bates' game-winning field goal. His efforts resulted in him being one of the top fantasy performers in Week 7, highlighting his consistency as a go-to playmaker. The Lions will look to keep St. Brown involved in their Week 8 home game against the Tennessee Titans.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba News

Jaxon Smith-Njigba Posts Nine Yards In Week 7

Sunday, October 20, 8:14 PM

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba had a complete dud in the Seahawks' Week 7 win over the Atlanta Falcons. Smith-Njigba finished with three receptions for nine yards. He also completed a pass for 35 yards. While he did have six targets, Smith-Njigba's lack of air yards was disappointing for fantasy managers and reminiscent of his rookie season in 2023. Smith-Njigba was coming off three straight games with double-digit fantasy points, so his Week 7 dud was out of character. It did not help that quarterback Geno Smith only threw for 207 yards after hovering at, or over, 300 yards in the past five games. Smith-Njigba continues to be a difficult fantasy asset to trust in 2024. It would appear that a full-on breakout may not be in the cards for the second-year wide receiver. The Seahawks offense runs through wide receiver DK Metcalf (knee) and running back Kenneth Walker III. Everyone else in the offense is secondary and the ball tends to be spread around.
