Who Should I Start? Amon-Ra St. Brown or Garrett Wilson

The Athletic's Colton Pouncy writes that Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (knee) took part in training camp practice on Sunday. St. Brown had offseason surgery to clean up his knee, but the fact that he's already taking part in on-field work at training camp this summer is a sign that it shouldn't be an issue when the regular season kicks off in early September. It wouldn't be a surprise if the 25-year-old is limited in some workouts early in camp, but all signs point to him being fine for fantasy managers to begin the 2025 campaign. In 2024, St. Brown had 115 receptions for 1,263 yards and 12 touchdowns in 17 regular-season games on 141 targets, and he should continue to be quarterback Jared Goff's primary passing-game target in new offensive coordinator John Morton's scheme. RotoBaller has St. Brown ranked as the No. 7 wideout.

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson failed to haul in his lone target in Saturday's 30-10 win against the hosting Green Bay Packers. Wilson and the Jets' first-string offense got just one series together in this one, and the fourth-year pro couldn't connect with his quarterback the only time Justin Fields went his way. In Wilson's defense, the pass was a bit out of reach as he tried to snag it, falling out of bounds. There isn't much to go on here, but it's nice to see that Fields targeted his former Ohio State teammate despite attempting just four passes. A 25% target share is likely what the wideout will need to elevate him to the next level in 2025. That is, unless his new QB has taken a step forward as a passer. Either way, he should get that volume in spades as New York's unquestioned WR1. Hopefully, the two will get a bit more playing time together next Saturday when they line up against the New York Giants.
