Amon-Ra St. Brown, New Lions Offense Hitting its Stride?

Thursday, August 14, 12:53 PM

The Detroit Lions offense has had a learning curve this summer with the transition from former offensive coordinator Ben Johnson to new OC John Morton, but the offense reportedly looked dominant in joint practice with the Miami Dolphins on Wednesday and could be finally hitting its stride with the regular season quickly approaching. Wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown was the best player on both teams on Wednesday. "We feel like as an offense maybe this camp there has been some struggles for us as an offense. But I think that's normal. You got new coaches and different moving parts and you're going against a really good defense every day," St. Brown said. The 25-year-old caught 115 passes for 1,263 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2024 and is arguably the best slot receiver in the league. Jameson Williams could demand more targets this year, though, potentially making St. Brown a bust candidate as a top-five fantasy wideout.

Nico Collins: Texans' WR Corps To Be 'Dangerous'

Sunday, August 31, 2:44 PM

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins said he envisions a big year for the team's wide receiver corps, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 in Houston. As in prior years, the Michigan product is the team's No. 1 option, but the cast around him has changed significantly. Tank Dell (knee) suffered a gruesome injury in last year's playoffs, while Stefon Diggs signed with New England. In response, Houston drafted a pair of Iowa State rookies, Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel, and also signed Christian Kirk. The emergence of any would be a significant help to Collins, who has proven be a steady fantasy WR1 when healthy.
