Who Should I Start? Amon-Ra St. Brown or Kayshon Boutte

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.

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte desperately needs to bounce back in order to salvage his fantasy value on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills. Boutte caught six passes for 103 yards in Week 1 and then added a touchdown the next week, raising plenty of speculation that he was ready to take on a massive role and could be a strong WR3 in fantasy football. However, he has just four catches over his last three games, looking relatively uninvolved despite a snap share over 70 percent. Time could be ticking for Boutte to get back on track, and it probably won't happen Sunday against the Bills. Buffalo has allowed the sixth-fewest receiving yards and 10th-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025, as well as the 14th-fewest fantasy points to perimeter receivers like Boutte. He can be benched in all leagues and dropped in leagues with 12 or fewer people.
