Yahoo Sports NFL on Amon-Ra St. Brown
From the article
St. Brown is coming off a Week 1 performance in which he caught 10 of his 14 targets and found the end zone twice, but even that wasn't as impressive as his 12-catch, 193-yard, touchdown performance the last time he played the Bills.
STACKED’s take
St. Brown's 12-catch, 193-yard history vs. Bills and Alford's weak slot coverage support heavy targets.
St. Brown caught 10 of 14 targets in Week 1 with two touchdowns, but his last performance against the Bills was even more impressive: 12 catches, 193 yards, and a touchdown. The Bills' new slot cornerback Dee Alford allowed 1.5 yards per coverage snap (10th-most) last season and was targeted on 21.8% of his coverage snaps (highest rate among cornerbacks with 300+ snaps). The Bills defense struggled in nickel coverage in Week 1 (EPA 0.14, 28th in NFL; success rate 53.8%, 28th). Lions coach Dan Campbell emphasized St. Brown's competitiveness: "It's the consistency of what he does, the details. And more importantly, he's a pit bull. The ball's in the air; it's his ball." The source predicts another heavy dose of St. Brown against Buffalo's vulnerable nickel coverage.
