Who Should I Start? Michael Pittman Jr. or Amon-Ra St. Brown

Friday, November 22, 7:41 PM

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. is having a quiet season thus far, but Week 11 gave us hope that he could still manufacture some worthwhile fantasy production with Anthony Richardson under center, garnering a team-high eight targets and turning it into five catches for 46 yards. Week 12 brings a matchup against the Lions in a game that boasts an over/under of 50 points, so there should be a decent amount of scoring on both sides. The Lions have been tough against the run this year but can be beaten through the air, having given up the sixth-most passing yards per game and seventh-most fantasy points to WRs. If this game goes to script, the Colts will be playing catch-up with the Lions throughout, which should mean plenty of targets for the receiving corps. Even though the 6-foot-4 wideout showed up on the injury report this week as he continues to battle through a back issue, he was listed as a full participant all week and has been cleared to play. All of this combined with the fact that six teams are on bye this week make the 27-year-old a low-end WR3 this week.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown heads into a Week 12 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts as one of the most reliable WR1 options in fantasy football. St. Brown is coming off an elite performance in Week 11, catching all 11 targets for 161 yards and two touchdowns, extending his touchdown streak to eight consecutive games. He ranks as the WR2 on the season, trailing only Ja'Marr Chase in fantasy points. St. Brown has exceeded 100 receiving yards in three games this season and thrives against zone defenses like the Colts, who rank 26th against the pass. Fantasy managers should continue to trust him as an elite WR1 option.
