News: 4 days agoSt. Brown recorded seven receptions on nine targets for 112 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 42-17 win over the Broncos.

Spin: St. Brown was overshadowed by the performances of Sam LaPorta and Jahmyr Gibbs, but he nevertheless turned in a needed bounceback performance. He entered the game having failed to top 100 receiving yards in four consecutive games, though he ended that stretch Saturday helped by three catches of over 20 yards. St. Brown also chipped in a touchdown on a 15-yard reception just before halftime, his seventh of the season and fourth in his last six contests.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: St. Brown was an absolute gem find by Detroit in the fourth round of the 2021 draft. The USC product impressed with 973 yards and six TDs on 97 touches as a rookie in 2021 before taking a big leap forward to 1,256 yards and six scores on 115 touches in 2022. Despite missing one game last season, St. Brown finished seventh among WRs in fantasy PPG. St. Brown's short-range/slot role has led to a ton of high-percentage targets (career 74% catch rate) but not much work near the goal line (career 11 receiving TDs and eight end zone targets). The 23-year-old is the real deal and is locked into another massive target share this season. He's a solid WR1 target.
