Amon-Ra St. Brown News
Friday, July 17, 5:49 AM
Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has steadily finished as the fantasy WR3 in each of the past three seasons, and there is little reason to believe he'll stray far from there in 2026. Even with the late-season emergence of teammate Jameson Williams, who topped 1,000 receiving yards for the second straight year, St. Brown remains the unquestioned lynchpin of Detroit's high-powered passing offense, earning an already staggering 31.3% target share and an even more unreal 37.5% share in the red zone. Without the threat of pulling the ball down and running, nearly all of Jared Goff's dropbacks translate to passing production, allowing him to lead the NFL in both passing yards and touchdowns over the past four seasons, and with St. Brown his most trusted target, the four-time Pro Bowler remains one of the safest picks in fantasy. St. Brown is RotoBaller's WR5 and a player who should continue to shift matchups throughout the 2026 season.

Jameson Williams News
Tuesday, July 21, 10:47 AM
Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams was a classic boom-or-bust fantasy receiver in 2025. The 25-year-old speedster posted seven games with fewer than seven fantasy points and eight games with 15 or more fantasy points. Most of Williams' boom games came after head coach Dan Campbell took over play-calling in Week 10. This offseason, the Lions hired former Arizona Cardinals offensive coordinator Drew Petzing. Petzing runs a more run-heavy offense that favors heavy personnel packages and fewer three-wide receiver sets. This could lead to more bust weeks for Williams if Petzing does not see him as a primary weapon, as Campbell did last season. In 2026, Williams will continue to battle Sam LaPorta for targets in a crowded Lions offense. It remains to be seen whether the two can coexist and produce as top fantasy options. Williams looks to continue as a low-floor, high-ceiling player this season, which will make him the ultimate wildcard for managers heading into draft season.
