Amon-Ra St. Brown Scores Three Touchdowns

Sunday, September 14, 6:12 PM

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown put together an unbelievable performance against the Chicago Bears on Sunday. St. Brown was fairly quiet in the season opener with four receptions for 45 yards in the Week 1 loss. He completely exploded in Week 2 giving fantasy managers an epic afternoon. St. Brown hauled in nine of his 11 targets for 115 yards and three touchdowns in the win. The Bears secondary had absolutely no answers for St. Brown all afternoon long. The superstar wideout recorded his first career three-touchdown game. The Lions offense erupted for 52 points, but we'll see if they can keep it going next week against the Baltimore Ravens. St. Brown should be viewed as a mid-range WR1 for that one.

Ladd McConkey has Zero Red Zone Targets this Season, is it Time to Panic?

Tuesday, September 16, 2:00 PM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey caught all five of his targets for 48 yards against the Las Vegas Raiders in the team's 20-9 win on Monday night. He has been reliable through two weeks but hasn't received a single red-zone target. That limits his touchdown potential and raises some concerns for fantasy managers. In Week 3, McConkey might face Denver Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain II, though it's unlikely he'll shadow him given Los Angeles' other weapons. McConkey's role stays consistent as a short-to-intermediate option. He's a safe floor play in PPR formats, but managers should temper their scoring expectations at this point in the season.
