Who Should I Start? Amon-Ra St. Brown or Nico Collins

Saturday, October 18, 10:41 PM

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has been a consistent producer so far this season, hauling in 44 catches for 452 yards and six touchdowns on 51 targets through six games. The 25-year-old has recorded at least seven targets and seven catches in five straight contests. St. Brown could be set up for another high-volume day in Week 7, as the Lions will take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a game that profiles as a shootout. The Bucs currently rank 23rd in the NFL in passing yards allowed (1,520) and have allowed the fourth-most receptions of 40-plus yards (four). The last time these two teams squared off in Week 2 of the 2024 season, St. Brown earned a whopping 18 targets, hauling in 11 catches for 119 yards. He profiles as a must-start fantasy wide receiver in Week 7 against Tampa Bay.

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins remains the go-to option for the Texans, and he remains a strong starter in all formats as the Texans come back from their bye week and visit the Seahawks as the late game on Monday night. Collins has found the end zone in three of his last four games and has at least four catches in each of his last three games. He had 52 yards and a touchdown in Week 5 before the bye week as the Texans thrashed the Ravens, 44-10. Since the game wasn't competitive, he wasn't quite as involved late, but he is still one of the most consistent top receivers in the game. With Christian Kirk (hamstring) out for Monday night's game, Collins has a very high ceiling as a starting WR1 in his road matchup against Seattle, which has been a slightly favorable matchup for receivers this season.
