All ESPN Fantasy Football insights about Amon-Ra St. Brown

NegativeProjectionSep 28, 2026
St. Brown finished with 11.9 points in Week 3's win over the Jets after two straight games of 28 or more points. Though St. Brown totaled only 19 yards receiving on four catches, he found the end zone for the third straight game and his eight targets were tied for a team high. He didn't have the big plays in this one, but he remains one of the most consistent WR1s in fantasy because of his usage and route deployment in the Lions' explosive offense. St. Brown will look to bounce back in Week 4 in a road matchup versus the Panthers.

St. Brown is listed as an 'unlocked' player in Round 1 from slot 2 and is the optimal Round 1 pick from slot 6. The source notes that St. Brown is the only non-quarterback to score 300-plus fantasy points in each of the past three seasons. He is positioned as the most logical alternative from slot 5 to Smith-Njigba, and the source notes that if St. Brown is taken from slot 6, there's still a good chance that a quality running back such as Jeanty, Jeremiyah Love, Kenneth Walker, or Derrick Henry will still be there come the 19th pick on the backswing.

St. Brown is the optimal Round 1 pick for the 6-slot team. He is the only non-quarterback to score 300-plus fantasy points in each of the past three seasons. The source notes that fantasy managers who see three consecutive wide receivers fly off the board sometimes instinctually 'zag' to running back, and going Jonathan Taylor or Christian McCaffrey over St. Brown from this slot is far from outrageous. However, if you take him, there's still a good chance that a quality running back like Omarion Hampton, Barkley, Chase Brown or Jeremiyah Love will still be there come the 15th pick on the backswing. St. Brown averaged 9.6 targets per game the past three seasons.

St. Brown is a fantasy superstar with a Week 6 bye, but the source argues he shouldn't be allowed to slide significantly in Week 5 Knockout drafts; a manager who successfully steers a St. Brown-led team through Week 6 would make him an even more compelling case as a top Knockout asset from that point forward. The source's strategy involves making aggressive FAB bids for knocked-out star players from Week 5 knowing you'll be short in Week 6 if you draft St. Brown.
