Amon-Ra St. Brown News
Friday, August 14, 10:53 AM
Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has been about as steady as it gets for fantasy managers, and nothing this summer has changed that. He caught 117 passes for 1,401 yards and 11 touchdowns on 172 targets last season, giving him a fourth straight year with at least 100 receptions. Detroit has a new play caller in Drew Petzing, but the offense has settled in well during camp, and St. Brown has looked like himself. On Aug. 6, he beat Rock Ya-Sin deep for a touchdown in one-on-ones and scored again during red-zone work. There are plenty of mouths to feed with Jameson Williams, Sam LaPorta, Jahmyr Gibbs and Isaac TeSlaa all involved, so another 172 targets would be a lot to ask for. That hasn't stopped St. Brown from commanding elite volume before. RotoBaller's Aug. 14 outlook still views him as one of the safest first-round wide receivers after three straight WR3 finishes in both PPR and half-PPR. He's not a riser because there isn't much higher to go, but there is no real reason to fade him either.

Colston Loveland News
Sunday, August 9, 5:37 AM
On a day where a potential injury dominated most of the headlines out of Chicago Bears training camp, tight end Colston Loveland kept the momentum of what has been a strong summer, finding the end zone twice during red zone work. Wide receiver Luther Burden III (lower body) exited practice early, limping off the field after getting tangled with cornerback Tyrique Stevenson, and should he miss any time, even more could be asked of Loveland with his year two expectations already sky high. Loveland is RotoBaller's TE3, and following the departure of veteran DJ Moore, there's an assumption that targets will be funneled primarily through Loveland, Burden, and Rome Odunze. While further news is awaited, Burden's early exit from practice serves as a reminder that if one of the three should miss any time throughout the year, the others would boast week-winning potential.
