Amon-Ra St. Brown Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown disappointed, catching four of six targets for 45 yards. He didn’t even lead the WRs in snaps, with Jameson Williams logging 65 to St. Brown’s 63. Detroit’s offensive struggles against the Packers led to disappointing results across the board.

The Detroit Lions have come to terms with WR Jameson Williams on a 3-year deal worth up to $83 million. Williams was entering the fourth year of his rookie deal, but earned an extension after posting his first 1000-yard campaign in 2024. The Lions now have both Williams and Amon-Ra St. Brown locked up through the 2028 season.

Lions TE Sam LaPorta is going to miss “a little bit of time” with an injury, according to Nolan Bianchi of Detroit News.

According to Lions senior writer Tim Twentyman, OC John Morton suggested that he'll use both RBs Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery on the field together more often this season.

Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown told reporters Thursday that he had a knee operation after the season "to clean some stuff up," according to the Detroit Free Press. He added that he expects to be ready for the start of training camp.

The Lions named John Morton their new OC. He'll replace Ben Johnson, who took the Bears HC job after leading Detroit to three straight top-five finishes in both points and total yards. Morton was a senior offensive assistant for Johnson's first Lions squad in 2022 before spending the last two years as Broncos passing game coordinator. His only previous OC experience came at USC in 2009 and 2010 and with the Jets in 2017. That Jets team -- quarterbacked by Josh McCown and Bryce Petty -- ranked 28th in total yards and 24th in points. We won't hold that against Morton. He'll now be working with one of the most loaded offenses in the league, although it's fair to expect some dropoff in play-calling from Johnson to Morton.

Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown racked up 14 catches for 193 yards and a TD on 18 targets as Detroit threw for 494 yards in Sunday's loss to the Bills. Those numbers accounted for a 30.5% share of Jared Goff's total pass attempts, 36.8% of completions, and 39% of the team's receiving yards.

Lions WR Tim Patrick saw a season-high 18% target share in Thursday’s win over Green Bay. That turned into a surprising 6-43-2 line, with both of his TDs coming in goal line situations. The veteran even out-targeted Amon-Ra St. Brown by one. Now, Thursday turned up Patrick’s first TDs of the season. But it’s clear he’s ticketed for a larger role with Kalif Raymond (foot) set to miss at least a couple more weeks. Week 15 turns up a tough matchup vs. Buffalo, followed by another formidable secondary in Chicago. Patrick remains a shaky deep-league bet.

Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Bears. He was a full participant in Wednesday’s practice, and we’re expecting him to play his usual role in this one.

Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game vs. the Bears. He was a full-go in Wednesday's practice, and we've heard nothing to suggest that he's in legitimate danger of missing this one. St. Brown can stay penciled into Week 13 fantasy lineups. Just check back around 11 am ET tomorrow to make sure he's active.

Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (knee) was limited in Tuesday's practice. This seems to be a legitimate injury, rather than just early-week rest. But HC Dan Campbell said he feels "pretty good" about St. Brown playing vs. the Bears on Thanksgiving. We'll update his status again tomorrow.

Lions QB Jared Goff went a solid 26 of 36 passing (72.2%) for 269 yards (7.47 yards per attempt) in Sunday's win over the Colts. But all three of Detroit's TDs went to RBs, on the ground.

WR Kalif Raymond emerged as the surprise target leader in the Lions' beatdown of Dallas in Week 6. His 6 targets edged RB Jahmyr Gibbs by one and put Raymond two ahead of any other teammate. He caught four of them for 73 yards, doubling his reception total for the season.

Lions WR Jameson Williams caught just one pass for 9 yards in Sunday's win over the Cardinals. Low passing volume for the team didn't help. Detroit threw just 23 passes and dropped back on a mere 38.2% of offensive snaps. Williams' 3 targets actually tied for third on the team.

Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (quad) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. It's confirmation that he's in no danger of missing Week 3. St. Brown gets a juicy matchup against a Cardinals defense that's allowed the ninth most fantasy points to WRs through two weeks.

Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown suffered a knee injury that he played through yesterday. It was determined to only be a minor contusion and cramping, so it is unlikely that he will miss additional time, great news for the Lions and fantasy managers.

Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown's left knee was looked at by trainers twice during Sunday's loss to the Bucs. HC Dan Campbell didn't express much concern afterward. "He's alright. I don't think it's anything long-term, so that's good news," Campbell said. But St. Brown's status will be worth keeping an eye on this coming week. We'll see if we get an update on his status on Monday.
