Who Should I Start? Amon-Ra St. Brown or Jahmyr Gibbs

Friday, December 5, 11:14 AM

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown was listed as questionable to play entering his team's Week 14 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys after missing practice all week with a low ankle sprain. However, the 26-year-old gritted through the injury and provided a solid performance, hauling in six catches for 92 yards on nine targets. Even while almost certainly playing at less than 100%, St. Brown proved he can still be a reliable pass-catcher. With the Lions playing on Thursday night, he'll now have a few extra days of rest before Detroit's Week 15 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams next Sunday. Across 13 games this season, St. Brown has hauled in 81 receptions for 976 yards and nine touchdowns on 117 targets. As long as he comes out of Week 14 healthy enough to keep playing, St. Brown profiles as a must-start fantasy wide receiver.

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs had 12 carries for 43 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns during Thursday's Week 14 win over the Dallas Cowboys. He also caught all seven of his targets for an additional 77 receiving yards. The 24-year-old's explosive season continues, as he has now recorded three-touchdown performances in three of the last five weeks. He's a top-three running back in PPR scoring this year with a whopping 58 catches so far. He also has 16 touchdowns and over 1,500 scrimmage yards. David Montgomery remains a factor in Detroit, but clearly, this backfield belongs to Gibbs. He should continue to be viewed as a high-end RB1 going forward, even in non-PPR leagues. He'll look to build on his success in 10 days against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 15.
