Who Should I Start? Amon-Ra St. Brown or Malik Nabers

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown bounced back with a fantastic performance against the New York Giants in Week 12. Last week, St. Brown was held to two receptions, but he wouldn't be stopped this weekend. The superstar wideout hauled in nine of his 13 targets for a season-high 149 receiving yards and a touchdown in the win. His lone score came as an 11-yard grab in the second quarter. St. Brown will take his 75 receptions for 885 yards with nine touchdowns into a Thanksgiving matchup against the Green Bay Packers in Week 13. He'll be an obvious WR1 for that game and going forward for the rest of the season.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) had surgery on Tuesday to fix the torn ACL and meniscus in his right knee, and he "should be ready" for the start of next season, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Nabers suffered his season-ending knee injury in the Week 4 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, but he just now had surgery after doctors had to wait for the swelling in his knee to dissipate. Barring setbacks with his rehab and recovery in the offseason, the 22-year-old former first-rounder should be good to go for the start of the 2026 season next fall, although fantasy managers might have some reservations about rolling with a receiver coming off a major knee repair as a high-end WR1. Before his injury, though, Nabers had displayed his game-changing abilities with 271 yards and two scores on 18 receptions in four games. His long-term fantasy ceiling should be higher going forward now that rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart looks like the real deal.
