Amon-Ra St. Brown (abdomen) expected back for Lions Week 6
Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (abdomen) is considered probable for Week 6 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, per head coach Dan Campbell.
What It Means:
Campbell said he feels "pretty good" about St. Brown playing on Sunday after the No. 1 wideout sat out Week 5 versus the Carolina Panthers. His return would result in fewer available targets for Sam LaPorta, Josh Reynolds, Jameson Williams, and Kalif Raymond.
St. Brown is 14th in targets per game (8.8) and he led the Lions with an elite 28.2% target share across the first four weeks. The Buccaneers are only 17th in FanDuel points allowed per game to wide receivers this season, but their pass defense ranks 9th based on numberFire’s opponent-adjusted NEP model.
