Who Should I Start? Amon-Ra St. Brown or Puka Nacua

Saturday, December 13, 12:18 AM

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown gritted through an ankle injury in Week 14, recording six catches for 92 yards on nine targets. The 26-year-old has avoided the injury report this week, so it appears he's feeling much better heading into his team's Week 15 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams have been a stingy pass defense so far this season, allowing the seventh-fewest yards per pass attempt (6.5) among all NFL defenses. However, St. Brown has been one of the NFL's most consistent target-earners in 2025. He's recorded at least eight targets in 11 out of 13 games this season and hit the double-digit target mark seven times. Fantasy managers should view St. Brown as a must-start wide receiver in Week 15 against the Rams.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua has been excellent this season, and he should continue to play at a high level in a favorable matchup against the Detroit Lions on Sunday in Week 15. He has been able to co-exist alongside Davante Adams (hamstring), as both players rank within the top six wide receivers in fantasy scoring this year. Nacua himself is the overall WR2 in scoring, trailing only Jaxon Smith-Njigba. The 24-year-old could shrink the gap between him and Smith-Njigba this week, given that Nacua has an extremely enticing matchup against the Lions. Detroit's defense has allowed the fifth-most receiving yards, second-most touchdowns, and second-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers in 2025. Nacua ranks as the overall WR3 in RotoBaller's fantasy football rankings for Week 15.
