The Detroit Lions will face the San Francisco 49ers in Week 17. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding WR Amon-Ra St. Brown.
Is Amon-Ra St. Brown Playing in Week 17?
St. Brown is not listed on the injury report this week, so barring any setbacks, he is on track to play on Monday.

Should You Start or Sit Amon-Ra St. Brown in Week 17?
Wait, you’re telling me that Amon-Ra St. Brown caught 75% of his targets and found the end zone last week? That never happens …
Games with at least a 75% catch rate and a TD reception, 2024:
- Amon-Ra St. Brown: 10
- Mark Andrews: 7
- Ja’Marr Chase and George Kittle: 6
No player has married scoring equity with efficiency quite like St. Brown this season. When you zoom out, it’s even more impressive. Do you want the full list of instances since 2000 in which a player had more than 10 games like this through 16 weeks in a season?
- Randy Moss, 2007
That’s it, and that’s all. St. Brown’s name deserves to be thrown into the 1.01 discussion. He’s the first Lion to have multiple 100-1,000-10 seasons on his résumé, and I’m confident that he will add a third such year in 2025.
