Should You Start or Sit Brown in Week 12?
Pick yourself up and get back on the horse.
Last week hurt if you were counting on a big Brown performance as the Sunday finale, but there’s no reason to think that his struggles are here to stay.
We can dive into the weather splits for Detroit’s WR1 another time: he doesn’t project to have any more cold games this fantasy season. The portion of those splits that you need to be comfortable with this week is his home numbers, and, man, are they impressive.
Last 9 Home Games
- 30.6% production over expectation
- 8.0 receptions per game
- 101.7 receiving yards
- 9 TD receptions
Don’t waste time sweating what the 12-target two-catch stinker in Philadelphia last week means moving forward. St. Brown is a bona fide star who is in a position to carry your squad this weekend.
