Is Amon-Ra St. Brown the Safest Pick in Fantasy?

Sunday, March 15, 10:26 AM

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has been the model of consistency since his late-season rookie breakout in 2021. He has topped 100 receptions and 1,000 yards in each of the past four seasons, while scoring double-digit touchdowns over the past three, finishing as the WR3 for three straight years. Putting to rest any fears that the departure of offensive coordinator Ben Johnson might negatively affect his fantasy impact, St. Brown finished 2025 with 117 receptions for 1,401 yards and 11 touchdowns, his second-highest career totals across all categories. He is currently being valued as the WR5 in dynasty startups and going in the back half of the first round in best ball drafts, suggesting he's still being undervalued despite his steadfast consistency.

Nico Collins News

Will Nico Collins Ever Put Together a Fully Healthy Season?

Sunday, February 22, 10:19 AM

Across 15 games in 2025, Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins recorded 71 receptions for 1,117 yards and six touchdowns on 120 targets. Collins is one of the NFL's most talented wideouts, but his fantasy production has been held down by a middling offensive situation in Houston over the past two seasons. Injuries have also been an issue for the 26-year-old, as he's never played more than 15 games in a season and has missed 19 total games across his five NFL campaigns. Still, Collins is the unquestioned number one target in the Texans' passing game and has recorded three consecutive seasons with at least 68 catches, 1,006 yards, and six touchdowns despite missed time in all three. If he can ever put together a fully healthy campaign and Houston's passing game takes a marginal step forward, Collins could put together a truly elite fantasy season. As is, he profiles as a low-end fantasy WR1 and should hold his dynasty value as he hits his late-twenties.
