Amon-Ra St. Brown News

Is Amon-Ra St. Brown the Safest Pick in Fantasy?

Sunday, March 15, 10:26 AM

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has been the model of consistency since his late-season rookie breakout in 2021. He has topped 100 receptions and 1,000 yards in each of the past four seasons, while scoring double-digit touchdowns over the past three, finishing as the WR3 for three straight years. Putting to rest any fears that the departure of offensive coordinator Ben Johnson might negatively affect his fantasy impact, St. Brown finished 2025 with 117 receptions for 1,401 yards and 11 touchdowns, his second-highest career totals across all categories. He is currently being valued as the WR5 in dynasty startups and going in the back half of the first round in best ball drafts, suggesting he's still being undervalued despite his steadfast consistency.

Chris Olave News

Is Chris Olave Primed for WR1 Breakout with Improved Quarterback Play in New Orleans?

Friday, February 27, 8:08 AM

After a down year in 2024 in which he missed nine games due to injury, New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave bounced back to form in 2025. Across 16 games, the 25-year-old hauled in 100 receptions for 1,163 yards and nine touchdowns on 156 targets. Olave's production reached a new level after Tyler Shough took over as the Saints' starting quarterback in Week 8. Across nine games alongside Shough, Olave hauled in 56 catches for 723 yards and six touchdowns on 85 targets. With a full season's worth of games playing with Shough in 2026, Olave could be in line for the best year of his career. Injuries remain a concern for Olave, as he's missed 13 games across four NFL seasons and ended 2025 sidelined by a blood clot in his lung. However, he's expected to make a full recovery heading into 2026, and he's proven a safe per-game production floor throughout the course of his career. In dynasty formats, Olave's fantasy stock is rising as a result of his encouraging 2025 season.
