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

Monday, November 3, 12:59 PM

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.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce has almost exclusively been known as a downfield pass-catcher throughout his career. Across his first three NFL seasons, Pierce averaged 4.3 targets per game and 17.6 yards per reception. Now in his fourth season, Pierce is still making big plays. However, there are signs that Indianapolis is viewing him as a more well-rounded wide receiver. Through his first seven games played in 2025, Pierce is averaging 6.4 targets per contest. He's been particularly involved in recent weeks with 28 targets over his last three games played. Pierce has yet to find the end zone this season, but he scored seven touchdowns across 16 games in 2024. Heading into a Week 10 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, Pierce should be rostered in all fantasy leagues with 12 or more teams.
