Who Should I Start? Amon-Ra St. Brown or Brian Thomas Jr.

Friday, November 7, 9:26 PM

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.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Houston Texans, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Thomas suffered a low-grade high-ankle sprain in Jacksonville's Week 9 win over the Raiders, where he caught three of five targets for 55 yards. There was some optimism that Thomas would be able to suit up in Week 10, but the second-year wideout was unable to practice this week and could need a week or two to fully recover. The Jaguars are running thin at the wide receiver position with Thomas out and first-round rookie Travis Hunter (knee) on Injured Reserve. Recent trade acquisition Jakobi Meyers, along with Parker Washington, are likely to lead Jacksonville's passing game in a tough matchup against a stout Houston Texans defense in Week 10.
