Who Should I Start? Amon-Ra St. Brown or Zay Flowers

Thursday, December 4, 2:23 PM

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) was unable to practice this week due to an ankle sprain, and a return next week against the Los Angeles Rams is considered the more "realistic expectation," according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. St. Brown is currently listed as questionable for Thursday night against the Dallas Cowboys, and while it's possible he is still able to play, the team is unsure of his status. It's tough to expect the star wideout to suit up after not practicing during the week, but St. Brown is pushing to play a week after suffering a low-grade ankle sprain on Thanksgiving Day. It was initially reported that the 26-year-old would miss one to two weeks with the injury, and that timeline still seems to be accurate as of now. St. Brown's status for Thursday night will be known soon, and if he's unable to go, Jameson Williams would be in line to lead Detroit's passing game, with rookie Isaac TeSlaa and Tom Kennedy also seeing increased opportunities.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers is quite possibly one of the most consistent options in PPR leagues. Not consistent as in always in the running for WR1 overall, more like consistently putting up average fantasy numbers that are good if he's the flex player every week. He still has a touchdown-less streak and non-WR1 streak going since Week 1. In Week 13, he'll take on the Cincinnati Bengals, who have rolled out quite the atrocious defense over the last couple of seasons. For fantasy purposes, however, the Bengals actually rank tenth against receivers and have only given up six receiving touchdowns all season. Rashod Bateman (ankle) also returns to the lineup, so Flowers is still projected as a mid-level WR2.
