Amon-Ra St. Brown Fantasy Football Outlook
In two games this season, St. Brown has 14 receptions for 132 yards. He is yet to score a touchdown, but the fact that Jared Goff has thrown him the ball 25 times in two games puts St. Brown in position for another big season.
In PPR scoring leagues, St. Brown has accumulated a total of 27.2 points. He will go against the Cardinals in Week 3, a game that the Lions will be desperate to win. Hence, expect another excellent performance from the Lions' WR1.
