Should You Start or Sit Brown in Week 13?
Early on last week, Amon-Ra St. Brown forced a DPI in the end zone and I always hate those things when I have the receiver: not only do I not get points, I likely lose any potential to score due to a rushing score coming, and that tilts the game in the favor of that offense, thus pushing them one step closer to a run-centric script.
Yes, it’s loud inside my head when watching football.
Before I had time to have all of those negative thoughts, the Lions committed a penalty, got back up to the 11-yard line and threw a screen pass to their WR1.
Touchdown.
It was his ninth TD catch of the season and ended up being the fifth time in six games in which he earned at least 10 targets. During this run, he’s seen Jahmyr Gibbs explosions and duds, Jameson Williams usage peaks and valleys, Dan Campbell going from being an observer to play caller.
Long story short, there’s nothing you can do to slow him down. St. Brown comes preloaded with a floor that ranks among the three best in the sport and that’ll make him a surefire first round pick next season
The Packers have held him under 60 receiving yards in three straight meetings and you could tell yourself that they have him figured out. That they have the blueprint.
I look at it as more of St. Brown gaining knowledge as to what won’t work and thus trending closer to what will.
This should be a fun one to open the holiday, though I think it’ll be far more fun for those with him rostered than those hoping those recent team-vs-player stats stick.
