Who Should I Start? Amon-Ra St. Brown or Ricky Pearsall

Friday, November 14, 11:38 PM

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has been one of the most productive pass-catchers in the NFL so far this season, hauling in 64 catches for 693 yards and eight touchdowns on 82 targets across nine games played. However, the Lions have a difficult matchup in Week 11 when they travel to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles. Through 10 weeks, Philadelphia's defense is tied with the Denver Broncos for the fewest receiving touchdowns allowed (eight) in the league. Still, St. Brown should have plenty of chances to make his mark in Week 11 as the clear lead weapon in the Detroit passing game. Additionally, the 26-year-old's already sizable target share could get even bigger due to the absence of tight end Sam LaPorta (back). St. Brown profiles as a must-start fantasy wide receiver in Week 11 against Philadelphia.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) has no designation on the team's final injury report ahead of their divisional clash with the Arizona Cardinals in Week 11. When San Francisco last faced Arizona, in Week 3, Pearsall had his most productive game of the season, catching eight of 11 targets for 117 receiving yards. Jauan Jennings and George Kittle both missed that game due to injury, making Pearsall the focus of the 49ers' passing attack. With all three pass-catchers now healthy, there will be less work for Pearsall, but he could see better production as the defense won't be able to focus their efforts on any one player. Pearsall's return coincides with that of Brock Purdy (toe), who provides a slight bump to the prospects of San Francisco's skill players. Pearsall projects as a borderline WR3/4 in Week 11 with the upside that comes with being his team's preferred deep threat.
