Who Should I Start? Amon-Ra St. Brown or Kenneth Walker III

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.

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III will look to continue his efficient running in Week 5. Walker will have a tough task ahead of him as the Seahawks will host a Tampa Bay Buccaneers team allowing less than three yards per carry to opposing running backs. Additionally, the Seahawks are deploying a running back committee with Walker and Zach Charbonnet. Both players are taking opportunities from the other. Walker's saving grace is his pass-catching and big-play ability. He is not receiving goal line opportunities, which suggests that he will need to score between the 20s. You may feel compelled to start Walker in Week 5, but he is not a smash play by any means. However, he provides a decent fantasy floor this week and can be deployed as a low-end RB2.
