Who Should I Start? Amon-Ra St. Brown or Ladd McConkey

Tuesday, December 2, 3:55 PM

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle), who suffered a low-grade ankle sprain in the Thanksgiving Day loss to the Green Bay Packers last Thursday, is up in the air for the Week 14 game this Thursday night against the Dallas Cowboys. "I'm not sure right now, if I'm being honest. It's still up in the air. I'ma try to be out there for the guys, for my teammates, but I couldn't answer that question right now," St. Brown said when asked about his chances of playing against Dallas. The 26-year-old has yet to practice this week, leaving St. Brown on the wrong side of questionable for Week 14. Head coach Dan Campbell said that St. Brown will play if he's able to, but he'll likely have to practice on Wednesday to avoid being ruled out entirely. If St. Brown cannot go on Thursday, Jameson Williams could be in line for another massive target share, with rookie Isaac TeSlaa also in play as a touchdown-dependent flex in fantasy.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey caught four passes for 39 yards and one touchdown, leading the team with six targets during their 31-14 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. With Justin Herbert managing a fractured non-throwing hand sustained early in the game, the Chargers relied heavily on the run game. They kept most throws short behind PFF's league-worst offensive line, limiting big-play opportunities for all Bolts' receivers. Still, McConkey's continued involvement in the red zone is encouraging. Next Monday night, a top-10 secondary from the Philadelphia Eagles awaits, and Herbert's status remains uncertain. If Trey Lance starts, all pass catchers could see reduced production. However, Philly's defense has been notably vulnerable to slot receivers, giving McConkey a potential upside as the most natural fit to exploit their weakness.
