Who Should I Start? Amon-Ra St. Brown or Sam LaPorta

Friday, October 3, 4:54 PM

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has been one of the NFL's most productive pass-catchers through four weeks, recording 27 catches for 307 yards and six touchdowns on 32 targets so far this season. St. Brown should be well-positioned for success again in Week 5 in a favorable matchup on paper against the Cincinnati Bengals. Cincinnati has allowed the third-most passing yards (1,089) and fifth-most passing touchdowns (eight) in the league through four games. St. Brown profiles as a must-start fantasy wide receiver in Week 5.

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta has had an underwhelming season so far in terms of fantasy production, recording 16 catches for 177 yards without finding the end zone through his first four games. After earning nine targets in Week 1, LaPorta has been targeted exactly four times by Lions quarterback Jared Goff in each of the last three weeks. LaPorta has a favorable matchup on paper in Week 5 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Cincinnati has allowed the third-most passing yards (1,089) and fifth-most passing touchdowns (eight) in the league through four games. The Bengals are also allowing an average of 10 targets per game to tight ends, which is the highest mark in the league. Despite the frustrating production he has provided to this point, LaPorta remains a must-start fantasy tight end in Week 5.
