Who Should I Start? Amon-Ra St. Brown or Jameson Williams

Monday, October 6, 7:46 PM

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown recorded eight catches for 100 yards on nine targets in his team's 37-24 Week 5 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. St. Brown was held out of the end zone in Week 5 for the first time since Week 1, but he's now recorded at least seven receptions and 70 receiving yards in four straight games. All told, the 25-year-old has recorded 35 catches for 407 yards and six touchdowns on 41 targets through his first five games of 2025. St. Brown will have a more challenging matchup in Week 6, as the Lions will travel to Kansas City to face the Chiefs. Still, he's a must-start fantasy wide receiver, regardless of matchup.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams continues to play a marginal role in his team's offense. In Week 5 against the Cincinnati Bengals, Williams recorded just one catch on one target for nine yards. The 24-year-old simply has not been much of a factor in Detroit this season, as he's logged 11 catches for 223 yards and one touchdown through five games on 21 targets. Williams remains a big-play threat, leading the NFL by averaging 20.3 yards per reception. His playing time is also stable, as he's played at least 82% of the Lions' offensive snaps in all five games. Still, his low target volume and downfield usage make Williams a boom/bust flex option at best. Heading into a Week 6 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, fantasy managers should likely be searching for ways to keep Williams out of their starting lineup.
