Who Should I Start? Amon-Ra St. Brown or Theo Johnson

Monday, November 3, 12:59 PM

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown continues to see heavy involvement in his team's passing game, recording nine catches for 97 yards on 13 targets in a Week 9 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. St. Brown has now earned double-digit targets in three consecutive contests. Across eight games played in 2025, the 26-year-old has hauled in 59 catches for 635 yards and seven touchdowns on 74 targets. Even in a Lions offense that has other talented pass-catchers, St. Brown has seen 30 more targets than Detroit's second-highest target earner, tight end Sam LaPorta. As long as he stays healthy, St. Brown remains a must-start fantasy wide receiver heading into Detroit's Week 10 matchup against the Washington Commanders.

New York Giants tight end Theo Johnson (shoulder) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. It sounds like he's managing a shoulder injury, so he'll get eased into the practice week. Last weekend, Johnson hauled in three of his six targets for 27 yards and a touchdown in the loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The 24-year-old has scored five touchdowns in his last six games. If he's unable to play, Daniel Bellinger could move into the starting tight end role for the Week 10 matchup against the Chicago Bears. Right now, it seems like Johnson is trending towards playing, but fantasy managers should check back for another update.
