Who Should I Start? Jakobi Meyers or Amon-Ra St. Brown

Saturday, December 20, 12:00 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers seems to be the primary benefactor of the Jaguars' offense clicking heading into Week 16. The team also just extended him to a three-year contract, so Meyers should be feeling good heading into a tough matchup with the Denver Broncos. Meyers seems especially useful in PPR given his skillset, which could come in extra handy this week, given the Broncos' elite pass rush. The Jaguars' offense as a whole should struggle compared to last week's beatdown of the New York Jets, which shouldn't limit Meyers too much. Fantasy managers should be happy starting Meyers as he comes in as RotoBaller's WR18 in Week 16.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown had a monster game in Week 15, recording 13 receptions for 164 yards and two touchdowns on 18 targets against the Los Angeles Rams. The 26-year-old has earned double-digit targets in seven out of 14 games this season and ranks second in the NFL with 11 touchdown grabs. In Week 16, St. Brown gets a favorable matchup on paper against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Entering the week, Pittsburgh ranks 29th in the NFL in passing yards allowed (3,649). The Lions have also been trending towards a more pass-heavy offense in the second half of the season, as quarterback Jared Goff has attempted at least 33 passes in six out of the team's last seven games. Given the combination of likely target volume and his opponent, St. Brown could be in for another big performance and profiles as a must-start fantasy wide receiver in Week 16.
