Held to 49 yards in finale
St. Brown had six receptions (nine targets) for 49 yards in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Packers.
Analysis: St. Brown didn't post huge fantasy numbers in the last game of the season, but he did make an impossible catch with his legs on the Lions' final drive of the game to seal the win and knock the rival Packers out of playoff contention. The 22-year-old took his game to another level in his sophomore campaign, racking up 106 receptions for 1,161 yards and six touchdowns in 16 games. St. Brown developed a strong rapport as Jared Goff's favorite target, a scenario that should continue in 2023 as the…read more

Held in check
St. Brown caught four of fives targets for 62 yards during Sunday's 41-10 win over Chicago.
Analysis: St. Brown was surprisingly unproductive on a day the Lions found plenty of offensive success, likely a result of the run game dominating in full force plus Jared Goff finding tight ends and running backs for his three passing touchdowns. With that said, St. Brown remained Detroit's most productive pass catcher, and his output was enough for the second-year wideout to notch 100 receptions on the season. Look for St. Brown to remain the focal point of the Lions passing game in a cold-weather Week…read more

Another busy day
St. Brown caught seven of 13 targets for 76 yards during Saturday's 37-23 loss to Carolina.
Analysis: Merely selected as a Pro Bowl alternate this season, St. Brown made history in multiple ways Sunday. Not only did he best Calvin Johnson to become the youngest Lions receiver to reach 1,000 yards in a season, he also joined Michael Thomas and Odell Beckham to become the third player in NFL history with at least 90 receptions and 900 receiving yards in each of his first two seasons. With Jamaal Williams (leg) perhaps set to miss time, the Lions seem set to lean on the pass even more in a Week 17…read more

Snags seven passes
St. Brown caught seven of 10 targets for 76 yards while rushing once for six yards during Sunday's 20-17 win against the Jets.
Analysis: Having already caught at least seven passes in seven of 10 games he was healthy enough to log at least half of the offensive snaps, St. Brown was about the only Lions weapon that the Jets defense didn't have an answer for. However, as was the case with every other Lions wideout, New York at least prevented him from popping any big plays or reaching pay dirt. St. Brown will look to remain a key cog in Detroit's passing attack in a Week 16 matchup with Carolina.

Downturn in Week 14 win
St. Brown secured six of nine targets for 68 yards in the Lions' 34-23 win over the Vikings on Sunday. He also rushed once for six yards.
Analysis: St. Brown got off to a slow start before coming on with two receptions for 34 yards on the Lions' final drive of the first half. The star second-year wideout is beginning to cede more opportunities to a now-healthy DJ Chark, and rookie Jameson Williams also appears set to carve out a progressively larger role in the coming weeks after recording a 41-yard touchdown reception Sunday. St. Brown naturally will continue to fill a significant role in Detroit's red-hot air attack heading into the…read more

Eclipses century mark again
St. Brown secured 11 of 12 targets for 114 yards and two touchdowns in the Lions' 40-14 win over the Jaguars on Sunday. He also rushed once for two yards.
Analysis: St. Brown unsurprisingly paced the Lions in catches, receiving yards and targets despite taking a couple of particularly hard hits on which he appeared to have the wind knocked out of him throughout the course of the game. The star second-year wideout bounced back to cap off his afternoon with a four-yard grab with just under three minutes remaining to seal his second multi-touchdown effort of the season. St. Brown carries a 76-830-6 line into a key home Week 14 matchup against the Vikings,…read more

Feasts on Bills secondary
St. Brown caught nine of 10 targets for 122 yards with one touchdown while rushing once for seven yards during Thursday's 28-25 loss to Buffalo.
Analysis: The Bills didn't have much of an answer for St. Brown, who has been a menace in 2022 when he doesn't seem to be the only above-average wideout the Lions have on the field. In the four games in which DJ Chark and his 4.3 speed has logged more than 10 offensive snaps, St. Brown now has 32 receptions for 375 receiving yards with four touchdowns. Considering those numbers are somehow in line with his explosive 2021 breakout, it will be interesting to see if St. Brown can maintain his productive…read more

Gains 80 yards in win
St. Brown hauled in seven of eight targets for 76 yards and rushed once for four yards in Sunday's 31-18 win over the Giants.
Analysis: St. Brown did the heavy lifting for Detroit's passing game, pacing the team in all passing categories in an upset victory. The Lions' rushing attack took care of all of the scoring with four touchdowns from in close, much to the chagrin of St. Brown's fantasy managers. That seems to be a recurring theme for the star wideout, who has been held scoreless since visiting the end zone three times in the first two games of the campaign. St. Brown still carries a solid 56/594/3 line heading into a…read more

Tops century mark in win
St. Brown caught 10 of 11 targets for 119 yards in Sunday's 31-30 win over the Bears.
Analysis: He also added two yards on one carry. St. Brown reached triple digits in yards for the first time since Week 2 while setting a new season high in receptions, and he appears to be back in his early-season form heading into a Week 11 clash with the Giants.

Leads quiet passing attack
St. Brown hauled in four of nine targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 15-9 win over the Packers.
Analysis: St. Brown didn't post gaudy totals, but he did pace the Lions in every notable receiving category outside of touchdowns. After a red-hot start to the season, the 23-year-old has seen his production taper as defenses key in on Detroit's top wide receiver. St. Brown remains Jared Goff's favorite target with a 9.8 target average in the five games the duo has started and finished this season. The heavy volume and and a favorable matchup keeps St. Brown in must-start territory against the Bears next…read more

Solid showing in Week 8 loss
St. Brown (concussion protocol) brought in seven of 10 targets for 69 yards in the Lions' 31-27 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
Analysis: St. Brown cleared concussion protocol over the weekend and was able to get through the game without incident, leading the Lions in receptions and targets in the process. The second-year wideout averaged a modest 9.9 yards per grab in his usual short-area role, but he continued to reward fantasy managers with a safe floor, particularly in PPR formats. With his most productive showing since Week 2 now under his belt, St. Brown will carry some momentum into a Week 9 home NFC North clash against…read more

Suiting up Sunday
St. Brown (concussion protocol) is active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Analysis: St. Brown played limited snaps in both of the Lions' last two games, the first in Week 5 while he was well below 100 percent due to a right ankle sprain and the second in Week 7 after he suffered a concussion in the first half of a loss to the Cowboys. The wideout is now further removed from the ankle sprain and was able to clear the concussion protocol shortly after putting in a full practice Friday, so St. Brown could be in decent position to approach the high-end fantasy production he…read more

On track to play Sunday
St. Brown remains listed as questionable but has reportedly cleared the NFL's concussion protocol and is in line to play Sunday against the Dolphins, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Analysis: After being a limited participant at practices Wednesday and Thursday, St. Brown was deemed a full participant Friday. Final confirmation of his Week 8 status will arrive when the team's inactive list is posted approximately 90 minutes ahead of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, but the wideout looks on track to play. In five games this season, St. Brown has recorded a 28-275-3 receiving line on 40 targets.

Listed as questionable
Brown (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Miami, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Analysis: Brown still needs to clear concussion protocol and thus is listed as questionable, though coach Dan Campbell said Friday morning that he thought the star slot receiver would play, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports. If so, it'll be the healthiest the Detroit offense has been since September, with RB D'Andre Swift, WR Josh Reynolds and TE T.J. Hockenson all entering the weekend without injury designations. St. Brown, meanwhile, will hope to clear concussion protocol Friday evening or Saturday and…read more

Remains limited Thursday
St. Brown (concussion protocol) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.
Analysis: Opening Week 8 prep with back-to-back capped sessions is a fair sign that St. Brown is progressing through the protocol for head injuries. He entered said protocol this past Sunday in Dallas, when he seemed to stumble as he attempted to get to the sideline and eventually went to the locker room, where he was ruled out. St. Brown will have one more opportunity to get back to full participation this week before the Lions make a ruling on a game-day designation for Sunday's matchup with the…read more

Likely to suit up Week 8
Coach Dan Campbell expects St. Brown (concussion protocol) to play Sunday against the Dolphins, and the wide receiver has been cleared of having a concussion, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Analysis: St. Brown remains in the NFL's protocol for head injuries, so he'll need to clear all five stages before he's eligible to play, but it appears that he didn't actually suffer a concussion after being hit up high early in the team's Week 7 loss to the Cowboys. Assuming he's cleared to play this weekend, St. Brown should reclaim his role as Jared Goff's top target Week 8 against Miami.

Suffers concussion Sunday
St. Brown sustained a concussion during Sunday's game at Dallas.
Analysis: Per Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press, St. Brown appeared to stumble toward the sideline after taking a hit on the Lions' second possession of the contest. The nearest referee sent St. Brown to the sideline, and after a visit to the blue medical tent, the wide receiver went to the locker room without a helmet, at which point a concussion was confirmed. St. Brown -- who won't return to Sunday's game -- thus will be subject to the protocol for head injuries before he'll be able to return to…read more

Practices in full Wednesday
St. Brown (ankle) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: With the benefit of the Lions' Week 6 bye, St. Brown has put the high-ankle sprain that he sustained Week 3 at Minnesota further in the rear-view mirror. The same can't be said for DJ Chark (ankle) and Josh Reynolds (knee), both of whom didn't practice to kick off Week 7 prep. If one or both are sidelined Sunday in Dallas, St. Brown would have fewer players to contend with for targets, especially if No. 1 running back D'Andre Swift (ankle/shoulder), who was limited Wednesday, isn't able to make…read more

Plays through ankle sprain
St. Brown caught four of six targets for 18 yards during Sunday's 29-0 loss to the Patriots.
Analysis: Working through an ankle sprain, St. Brown was hardly effective on a day the Lions offense could hardly get into field-goal range. Jared Goff instead turned to Josh Reynolds, who was targeted 10 times and led Lions players in most receiving categories for a second straight week. Hopefully the Lions Week 6 bye will allow St. Brown to get his ankle to full health with a Week 7 meeting against Dallas on the horizon.

Back in action Sunday
St. Brown (ankle) is listed as active Sunday at New England.
Analysis: After failing to practice and not playing Week 4 against the Seahawks, St. Brown didn't get back on the field until Friday, when he had a cap on his reps. He made an early departure from that session to focus on rehab before the Lions tabbed him as questionable for Week 5. The decision to make St. Brown available (or not) came down to a game-time call, and the team has opted for the former with its top wide receiver. While St. Brown may not be 100 percent, he averaged 11 targets per game and…read more

Analysis: Just a few hours before Pelissero's report came out, Adam Schefter of ESPN relayed that St. Brown was viewed as more of a true game-time decision, so fantasy managers planning on deploying the wideout will still want to check back in on his status 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, when Detroit releases its inactive list.

True game-time decision
St. Brown (ankle), who's listed as questionable, is considered a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup against the Patriots, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: St. Brown was sidelined for the team's Week 4 loss to Seattle due to the ankle injury and didn't practice this week until logging a limited session Friday. The Lions may elect to be cautious with their top wideout and hold him out until after the team's Week 6 bye, similar to what they are doing with running back D'Andre Swift.

Analysis: St. Brown declined to provide an update on his status, merely telling reporters that he was going for rehab work right after practice, per Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com. St. Brown thus appears truly questionable entering the weekend, while fellow wideout DJ Chark (ankle) has been ruled out and Josh Reynolds (ankle) is listed as questionable but seems more likely to play. The Patriots and Lions have an early kickoff at 1:00 p.m. ET, with inactive lists due around 11:30 a.m.

Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com suggested that the Lions are planning to hold Swift out Sunday in New England with the hope of having him back to full strength coming out of a Week 6 bye, but it's unclear if the team intends to follow a similar blueprint with St. Brown.

Meanwhile, DJ Chark (ankle) is expected to suit up Sunday, while D'Andre Swift (shoulder) likely is out, per Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site. In St. Brown's stead, both Josh Reynolds (ankle) and tight end T.J. Hockenson (foot) could benefit from increased target volume, as long as they're also cleared to play.

Analysis: St. Brown played through an ankle issue Week 3 at Minnesota and still put up six catches (on nine targets) for 73 yards in a 28-24 loss. On Wednesday, he told Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com that he's dealing with nothing more than a sprained right ankle and views himself as day-to-day. Considering his comment, St. Brown may in danger of sitting out Sunday against the Seahawks, so his status should continue to be watched as the weekend approaches.

Cleared of long-term injury
St. Brown underwent tests on his right ankle Monday, and while the results were encouraging, the receiver's status for the Lions' Week 4 game against the Seahawks is uncertain, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: According to Pelissero, St. Brown isn't dealing with a long-term injury after rolling his right ankle in the second quarter of Sunday's loss to the Vikings, but the 23-year-old could still be at risk of missing some time.

Plays through ankle issue
St. Brown recorded six receptions on nine targets for 73 yards in Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: St. Brown tied for the team lead in receptions and set up a two-yard touchdown for Jamaal Williams with a 30-yard catch and run midway through the first quarter. He lacked some explosiveness on his catches for the rest of the game, and he told reporters after the game that he rolled his right ankle during the second quarter, per Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com. St. Brown expects to suit up for a Week 4 matchup against the Seahawks, but his status will be worth monitoring throughout the week.

St. Brown caught nine of 12 targets for 116 yards with two touchdowns while rushing twice for 68 yards during Sunday's 36-27 win over Washington.

Analysis: Many were pessimistic about St. Brown sustaining the production he had down the stretch of last season when both of T.J. Hockenson and D'Andre Swift were banged up and DJ Chark wasn't on the team. However, the second-year receiver kept on rolling in the season opener, matching the most targets he saw in any game last year while finding the end zone for the fifth consecutive game dating back to last season.

Competition for targets
Detroit's offseason acquisitions could potentially lead to a lesser role for St. Brown than he had in the final six games of last season, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports. "Adding some receivers, I think we're a complete offense now if you ask me, so I'm excited to see what we can do," St. Brown noted.
Analysis: Only Cooper Kupp was more productive than St. Brown was down the stretch of last season, but he got there with an inflated target share that was aided by the absences of fellow short-range receivers T.J. Hockenson and D'Andre Swift. The healthy return of those two alone would figure to eat away at a large chunk of the 11.2 targets per game St. Brown was seeing. Add in the fact that Detroit now has two promising perimeter receivers in DJ Chark and Jameson Williams (knee), and St. Brown could see…read more

St. Brown is being joined by 2022 first-round draft pick Jameson Williams within the Lions' receiving corps, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Analysis: After trying to get by with aging veterans in Tyrell Williams and Breshad Perriman last year, Detroit enters the 2022 campaign with a significant upgrade at outside receiver in the form of Jameson Williams and a 25-year-old second-rounder (2018) in DJ Chark. Considering Chark owns an impressive 4.34 40 time and still might be markedly slower than Jameson Williams (who was unable to participate in the 40 this offseason), St. Brown stands to benefit from these speedy additions, which likely will…read more

Analysis: The rookie fourth-round pick has been on a tear in the past five weeks, and this effort was his most productive entry yet in what was already a highly impressive stretch. St. Brown had 35 receptions for 340 yards and three touchdowns on 46 targets in the four games prior to this one, and at no point in that span could anyone accuse St. Brown of benefiting from the quarterback play, especially in the games featuring Tim Boyle. The Packers defense looks like a tougher task in Week 18, but it may…read more

Keeps surging
St. Brown caught nine of 11 targets for 91 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Falcons. He added 19 rushing yards on two carries.
Analysis: St. Brown keeps rolling and has now seen at least 11 targets in four consecutive games while posting at least 86 yards with a touchdown in three of them. This latest stat line might be the most impressive, though, considering the rookie did it with backup Tim Boyle under center. While the potential return of pass-catching running back D'Andre Swift (shoulder) could impact St. Brown's target count in Week 17 against Seattle, it's hard to imagine that Detroit will move away from the surging slot…read more

Picks apart Arizona
St. Brown caught eight of 11 targets for 90 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 30-12 win over Arizona.
Analysis: Quarterback Jared Goff acknowledged during the week that St. Brown is becoming a security blanket of sorts, and he backed up that sentiment by peppering the rookie with double-digit targets yet again. St. Brown now has a whopping 35 targets over the past three weeks and it has translated to 249 yards and two touchdowns. Even though this surge has directly overlapped with the absence of D'Andre Swift (shoulder), the season-ending loss of T.J. Hockenson could allow St. Brown to stay productive…read more

Becoming security blanket
St. Brown is becoming a security-blanket receiver for QB Jared Goff, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports. "That's the role that as a slot guy and what he can do, he'd like to grow into and we're getting there and I'd like him to grow into that too because it's a nice thing for a quarterback to have," Goff said Wednesday.
Analysis: Goff needs someone to throw to with T.J. Hockenson (finger) set to join Quintez Cephus (collarbone) on IR, D'Andre Swift (shoulder) yet to return to practice, and Jamaal Williams on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Amid a slew of missed games between the above players in recent weeks, St. Brown drew 12 targets a piece in each of the past two games en route to 18 total receptions for 159 yards and one touchdown. Josh Reynolds (thigh) and Kalif Raymond will probably get the majority of the deep shots…read more

Top target once again
St. Brown caught eight of 12 targets for 73 yards in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Broncos.
Analysis: He led all players in catches, receiving yards and targets on the day, as the rookie continues to emerge as Jared Goff's top option. St. Brown has an 18-159-1 line on 24 targets over the last two games, and he could be busy again in Week 15 if the Lions fall into another big hole against the Cardinals.

Snags game-winning touchdown
St. Brown caught 10 of 12 targets for 86 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 29-27 win over Minnesota.
Analysis: Without D'Andre Swift (shoulder) in the fold, St. Brown delivered as a secondary short-range option en route to career highs in nearly every receiving category. While he made a number of nice catches throughout the day, no play was bigger than his first career touchdown reception that came as time expired. However, not only was this just the fourth time that St. Brown has topped four receptions or 50 receiving yards, but Josh Reynolds seemed like Jared Goff's preferred downfield target. The…read more

Snags four short passes
St. Brown secured four of four targets for 18 yards during Sunday's 13-10 loss to the Browns.
Analysis: St. Brown literally accounted for 100 percent of Detroit's wide receiver production, as the remainder of Tim Boyle's 77 passing yards went to tight ends. If Jared Goff (ribs) remains sidelined in Week 12 against Chicago, there's no receiver on Detroit who can confidently be used in fantasy lineups.

Totals 61 yards
St. Brown recorded four receptions on six targets for 61 yards in Sunday's 16-16 tie against Pittsburgh.
Analysis: St. Brown was matched in targets by both Kalif Raymond and D'Andre Swift, but he managed to lead the team in receiving by 32 yards. He did his primary damage on two catches, with his best effort being a 30-yard gain on the first play of overtime. St. Brown has had uneven production this season, though he's now topped 60 receiving yards in three of his last six games heading into a Week 11 matchup against Cleveland.

Modest rebound against Eagles
St. Brown caught three of five targets for 46 yards during Sunday's 44-6 loss to Philadelphia.
Analysis: St. Brown easily led all Lions wideouts in targets on a day when nearly three quarters of Jared Goff's pass attempts went to tight ends and running backs. However, it was at least some sort of rebound for the rookie after he didn't see any targets last week against the Rams. This corresponded with Kalif Raymond's drop in usage, considering the veteran followed up his 100-yard Week 7 performance with a catchless outing Sunday. Still looking for a true breakout game, St. Brown won't be back on…read more

Donut in LA
St. Brown was not targeted with a pass during Sunday's 28-19 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: After seeing at least seven targets in three straight games, St. Brown again logged over 60 percent of the offensive snaps but this time no passes were sent his way. Instead, Kalif Raymond, T.J. Hockenson and D'Andre Swift combined for nearly 85 percent of the targets while cornerback Bobby Price even caught a pass. While it's unfortunate to learn that this is the floor for a promising up-and-comer like St. Brown as long as Jared Goff is under center -- and the competition for targets could…read more

Sees another seven targets
St. Brown caught five of seven targets for 26 yards during Sunday's 34-11 loss to the Bengals.
Analysis: In the absence of Tyrell Williams (concussion) and now Quintez Cephus (collarbone), St. Brown tied Kalif Raymond for the lead in targets among Lions wide receivers. However, only tight end T.J. Hockenson was able to find any success through the air on a day when the Bengals' backup quarterback threw more passing touchdowns than Lions starting quarterback Jared Goff. While St. Brown could continue to see a decent workload even if Williams is able to return in the next week or two, his upside is…read more

Leads team in receiving
St. Brown had seven receptions (eight targets) for 65 yards in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: St. Brown finished the contest leading the Lions in all receiving categories, one week after sharing the team lead in targets. The 2021 fourth-round pick is starting to look like Jared Goff's favorite option at the wideout position. St. Brown should begin to garner interest in deeper PPR formats and is worth keeping an eye on in shallower leagues in the event this budding relationship between quarterback and receiver continues to grow.

Shares team lead in targets
St. Brown caught six of eight targets for 70 yards during Sunday's 24-14 loss to the Bears.
Analysis: After totaling 10 targets over the first three weeks of the season, St. Brown nearly reached that number Sunday alone as he shared the team lead in targets with T.J. Hockenson. While Quintez Cephus was the No. 1 receiver and Kalif Raymond popped for two scores, there is certainly room in the slot for St. Brown to continue making a name for himself going forward, though the eventual return of Tyrell Williams (concussion) could throw a wrench into things.

One target in Williams' absence
St. Brown caught his only target for two yards during Sunday's 19-17 loss to Baltimore.
Analysis: Even with Tyrell Williams (concussion) sidelined, St. Brown saw just 43 percent of the offensive snaps after seeing no less than 59 percent in the first two games. It's clear the rookie is well behind Quintez Cephus and Kalif Raymond in the pecking order, and St. Brown won't find things any easier once Williams is back in the fold as soon as Week 6.

Catches three passes
St. Brown caught three of five targets for 18 yards during Monday's 35-17 loss to Green Bay.
Analysis: With Tyrell Williams (concussion) sidelined and Kalif Raymond banged up after injuring his thigh in practice, it was Quintez Cephus and not St. Brown who led Lions wideouts in snaps, targets, receptions, receiving yards and touchdowns. Tight end T.J. Hockenson and running back D'Andre Swift served as the other biggest producers in the passing game while St. Brown was only a complementary piece. Until the rookie starts becoming more involved in the passing game, St. Brown will be hard to trust…read more

Catches two passes
St. Brown caught two of four targets for 23 yards during Sunday's 41-33 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: The final numbers for St. Brown weren't great, but they would have been better if Jared Goff didn't miss the rookie while he was streaking down the sideline for a would-be touchdown in the first quarter. However, St. Brown at least finished second in offensive snaps (59) behind Kalif Raymond (69) after Tyrell Williams (undisclosed) was knocked out of the game in the third quarter. If Williams is forced to miss time, St. Brown again could handle a large majority of the offensive snaps when…read more

Less competition for targets
St. Brown could see a large number of targets this season after Detroit released Breshad Perriman on Monday, Chris Burke of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: St. Brown already was in line to have a decent role in the offense with Perriman on board, but there's more upside for the rookie without the previously presumed starting outside receiver in town. While St. Brown seems to be behind Kalif Raymond and possibly Quintez Cephus in the rotation to start the year, the Lions' receiving corps remains as one of the most underwhelming league-wide. St. Brown should have plenty of opportunities to solidify a spot under No. 1 option Tyrell Williams as the…read more

Little impact against Colts
St. Brown caught two of three targets for four yards in Friday's preseason loss to the Colts.
Analysis: The Lions' depth chart at wide receiver remains wide open, but St. Brown has done little to climb it during game action, catching exactly two passes in all three preseason contests for only 28 total yards. The fact that he was a fourth-round pick in the 2021 draft should assure him of a spot on the 53-man roster and maybe even steady target volume, but fantasy value could be elusive.

Underwhelming against Steelers
St. Brown caught two of five targets for 12 yards during Saturday's 26-20 preseason loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: After having an impressive offseason, training camp and preseason opener, St. Brown's performance Saturday was somewhat underwhelming. While many of the team's first-half offensive struggles can probably be blamed on QB Tim Boyle, it was St. Brown's fault on at least one incompletion, and it's possible multiple drops could be attributed to the USC product. However, St. Brown was targeted five times on his 11 offensive snaps, and that was with projected starter Breshad Perriman also on the…read more

Building rapport with Goff
St. Brown caught both of his targets for 12 yards in Friday's 16-15 preseason loss to the Bills.
Analysis: Detroit doesn't have much in terms of established weapons at wide receiver and is also dealing with injuries at the position, which has opened the door for St. Brown to build some nice early chemistry with quarterback Jared Goff. In addition to his two catches that counted, St. Brown also had a 13-yard catch-and-run erased by a penalty. The rookie made a nice first impression here and will look to build on this effort in Week 2 of the preseason against the Steelers.

Impressing in training camp
St. Brown has been Detroit's most consistent receiver thus far in training camp, Nick Baumgardner and Chris Burke of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: With Tyrell Williams, Breshad Perriman (hip) and Quintez Cephus (head) all having missed time due to injury, St. Brown has logged plenty of reps with the first-team offense. While Williams is still expected to open the regular season as the No. 1 option at wideout, there probably isn't a wide receiver corps in the league that is less settled than Detroit's. At the very least, St. Brown seems to have an inside track to regular snaps in three-wide formations, and it may not be that big of a…read more
