Who Should I Start? Saquon Barkley or Amon-Ra St. Brown

Monday, January 13, 9:57 AM

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley delivered another stellar performance in Sunday night's 22-10 win over the Green Bay Packers. Barkley rushed 25 times for 119 yards, marking his 11th game this season with over 100 rushing yards. While he only contributed two receptions for four yards in the passing game, Barkley's ground dominance was pivotal in the Eagles' offensive game plan. Barkley's consistent production continued to showcase why he is the centerpiece of Philadelphia's offense. His ability to churn out tough yards and extend drives helped the Eagles control the tempo against a stout Packers defense. As the Eagles prepare to host the winner of Minnesota Vikings/Los Angeles Rams in the Divisional Round, Barkley will remain a critical component of their postseason success.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown caught six of his seven targets for 77 yards during Sunday's Week 18 win over the Minnesota Vikings. St. Brown had been riding a three-game touchdown streak, so fantasy managers will be understandably disappointed he didn't find the end zone on Sunday night despite leading the Lions in receiving yards. He finished the regular season as the overall WR3 in PPR leagues, and he was just 1.3 points behind the No. 2 wide receiver, Justin Jefferson. All in all, it was an impressive year for the 25-year-old, who totaled double-digit touchdowns for the second year in a row and set a career-high for number of visits to the end zone. Even with the Lions' offense placing attention on Jameson Williams, Sam LaPorta, Jahmyr Gibbs, and David Montgomery, fantasy managers were able to enjoy the fact that St. Brown carved out an enormous role for himself and delivered a terrific season once again, playing in all 17 games. He should be a mid-first-round pick in 2025 fantasy drafts, and managers could absolutely justify making him the second wide receiver off the board after Ja'Marr Chase.
