Who Should I Start? Amon-Ra St. Brown or Parker Washington

Friday, December 5, 11:14 AM

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown was listed as questionable to play entering his team's Week 14 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys after missing practice all week with a low ankle sprain. However, the 26-year-old gritted through the injury and provided a solid performance, hauling in six catches for 92 yards on nine targets. Even while almost certainly playing at less than 100%, St. Brown proved he can still be a reliable pass-catcher. With the Lions playing on Thursday night, he'll now have a few extra days of rest before Detroit's Week 15 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams next Sunday. Across 13 games this season, St. Brown has hauled in 81 receptions for 976 yards and nine touchdowns on 117 targets. As long as he comes out of Week 14 healthy enough to keep playing, St. Brown profiles as a must-start fantasy wide receiver.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington (hip) will be inactive for Sunday's game with the visiting Indianapolis Colts. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported the news. The 23-year-old was forced from Week 13's 25-3 win over the Titans with a hip injury, causing him to miss Wednesday's practice and log only limited sessions over the ensuing two days. Despite being deemed questionable, it appears Jacksonville will be without its top statistical pass-catcher. While Washington is shelved, teammates Brian Thomas Jr. and Jakobi Meyers figure to lead the team's WR corps, with the former likely to be near a full snap share as he's further removed from an ankle injury. Austin Trammell and Tim Patrick will mix in behind them.
