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

Monday, July 21, 1:59 PM

The Athletic's Colton Pouncy writes that Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (knee) took part in training camp practice on Sunday. St. Brown had offseason surgery to clean up his knee, but the fact that he's already taking part in on-field work at training camp this summer is a sign that it shouldn't be an issue when the regular season kicks off in early September. It wouldn't be a surprise if the 25-year-old is limited in some workouts early in camp, but all signs point to him being fine for fantasy managers to begin the 2025 campaign. In 2024, St. Brown had 115 receptions for 1,263 yards and 12 touchdowns in 17 regular-season games on 141 targets, and he should continue to be quarterback Jared Goff's primary passing-game target in new offensive coordinator John Morton's scheme. RotoBaller has St. Brown ranked as the No. 7 wideout.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (shoulder) is expected to practice on Thursday. However, the former LSU standout could potentially be limited at times during the session. Head coach Brian Daboll said, "We'll put him out there and he'll do what he can do," and that the team "has a plan." Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status in case he faces a setback later in training camp. Nabers left Tuesday's practice session early due to this shoulder injury. However, seeing him cleared to return in any capacity is a very positive sign. During his rookie season, the former sixth overall pick immediately flashed immense upside at the NFL level, tallying 1,204 yards and seven scores. He should be viewed as a high-end WR1 in all formats, entering the 2025 season.
