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

Saturday, November 29, 2:24 PM

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell called star wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) "day-to-day" with an ankle injury, and said he doesn't know what that means for St. Brown's status in Week 14 and 15, per Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press. St. Brown was forced to exit in the first quarter from Detroit's Thanksgiving Day loss to the Green Bay Packers after getting rolled up on. The 26-year-old has previously been classified as week-to-week, although it doesn't sound as though there's been much concrete change since his initial injury diagnosis. The Lions will take on the streaking Dallas Cowboys in Week 14 next Thursday night. In addition to St. Brown, Detroit may be without tight end Brock Wright (neck) and wide receiver Kalif Raymond (ankle) against Dallas. Lions wideout Jameson Williams stepped up with a huge performance in Week 13 after St. Brown went down, and depth wide receivers Isaac TeSlaa and Tom Kennedy could also be forced into larger roles if St. Brown cannot play in Week 14.

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins bounced back from his quiet game in Week 12 with a monster showing in his team's Week 13 win over the Indianapolis Colts. The 26-year-old hauled in five catches for 98 yards on 10 targets and also recorded a seven-yard rushing touchdown. Collins has now hauled in 57 catches for 795 yards and four touchdowns on 95 targets across 11 games this season. Dating back to Week 7, Collins has earned double-digit targets in five out of his last six games played. He clearly has the full trust of Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud, who returned in Week 13 after missing two games with a concussion. Houston has also played much better football overall in the second half of the season, as they have now won four consecutive games. Collins profiles as a must-start fantasy wide receiver heading into a critical Week 14 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.
