The Detroit Lions will host the Dallas Cowboys in Week 14. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR Amon-Ra St. Brown.
Is Amon-Ra St. Brown Playing in Week 14?
St. Brown (ankle) is likely to be considered week-to-week as the Lions approach their stretch run, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
We’ll continue to monitor the Lions’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Brown in Week 14?
An MRI on Friday revealed a low ankle sprain for Amon-Ra St. Brown, an injury that will keep the star receiver sidelined for this week at a minimum, but is not believed to be a long-term issue.
The standout WR has four top 7 finishes at the position this season and continues to return like a fantasy first rounder (nine touchdowns this season). This is obviously a big blow for fantasy managers, but with the Lions in a spot where they need to be aggressive, it stands to reason to think that you’ll have St. Brown back as soon as remotely possible.
Dan Campbell is a players coach and that has me leaning toward St. Brown being used in his normal way the moment he is cleared: you’re without him this week, but hopefully this is a bandaid situation more than one that will ruin your postseason.
