Who Should I Start? Mike Evans or Amon-Ra St. Brown

Friday, November 22, 3:20 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) was listed as limited in practice on Friday and has been given a questionable tag for the Week 12 game on Sunday against the New York Giants. Evans, who has missed the last three games with a right-hamstring injury, was also limited in practice on Wednesday but was able to put in a full session on Thursday. The full expectation is that the 31-year-old veteran will play this weekend, with head coach Todd Bowles saying Evans will play "as long as he's healthy and fresh." The future Hall of Famer should be returned to starting fantasy lineups everywhere if he's active, but he'll also have more bust potential against the G-Men if he doesn't see his usual workload as Tampa's WR1. The Giants defense hasn't been the greatest matchup for opposing pass-catchers, but they have allowed 10 TDs to the position through 10 games in 2024.

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.
