Amon-Ra St. Brown Remains a High-End WR1 Option in Week 4

Friday, October 2, 5:22 PM

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown had a quiet game by his lofty standards in Week 3, recording four catches for 19 yards and a touchdown on eight targets against the New York Jets. However, the 26-year-old is still off to an excellent start to the season, as he's hauled in 23 receptions for 225 yards and five touchdowns on 35 targets across three games. In Week 4, St. Brown and the Lions will go on the road to take on the Carolina Panthers. The Panthers have been tough to throw on so far in 2026, allowing the fifth-fewest yards per pass attempt (6.1) in the NFL. However, Carolina placed starting cornerbacks Jaycee Horn (quad) and Mike Jackson (groin) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday. Particularly if the Lions' defense continues to struggle and Detroit is forced to turn to the air, St. Brown could be well-positioned to have a big day. Even coming off the down week, St. Brown remains a must-start WR1 option for fantasy managers in Week 4.

Ladd McConkey Ruled Out with Foot Injury

Sunday, October 4, 2:49 PM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (foot) has been downgraded to out with a foot injury, according to the team. The team's No. 1 wideout was listed as questionable heading into this game with a foot injury and appears to have faced a further setback. Before exiting the contest, the pass catcher drew two targets but did not catch any of them. Fantasy managers should watch his status, as he could be in danger of missing Week 5. For the remainder of the contest, Tre' Harris and Quentin Johnston should see most of the targets from Justin Herbert.
