St. Brown recorded seven receptions on seven targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-14 win over the Packers.
The Lions had limited pass volume due to rainy conditions and positive game script, leaving St. Brown as the only player to see more than three targets. He primarily worked in short areas of the field, though he did manage a long 26-yard reception late in the second quarter. That came after St. Brown extended his touchdown streak to six games by capping the team's first drive with a three-yard catch in the end zone on fourth down.

Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Touchdown in five straight
Rotowire
St. Brown recorded two receptions on two targets for seven yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 52-14 win over the Titans.
Jared Goff took to the air only 15 times -- often with a short field -- in Detroit's blowout win, leaving Sam LaPorta as the only regular starter to earn more than two targets. Despite the quiet day, St. Brown did manage to score in his fifth straight game on a one-yard touchdown catch early in the second quarter. Expect St. Brown to see a more typical allotment of targets in Week 9 against Green Bay.

Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Catches TD in blowout win
Rotowire
St. Brown recorded four catches on four targets for 37 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 47-9 win over the Cowboys.
St. Brown saw his fewest targets of the season, primarily due to game script as the Lions took to the air only nine times in the final two quarters. He still managed to save his day early in the fourth quarter with a four-yard touchdown reception, marking his third straight game with a trip to the end zone. Overall, St. Brown has now topped 100 yards or found the end zone in four of five matchups on the campaign.

Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Records TDs through multiple means
Rotowire
St. Brown secured all six targets for 45 yards and a touchdown and also threw a seven-yard touchdown on his only pass attempt in the Lions' 42-29 win over the Seahawks on Monday night.
St. Brown recorded a team-high number of catches and his second receiving touchdown of the campaign on an eight-yard grab in the fourth quarter. However, his most eye-catching moment of the night came in the unusual role of quarterback, as he threw a seven-yard touchdown pass to Jared Goff on the Lions' version of the Philly Special just past the midway point of the third quarter. St. Brown now has at least six receptions in three straight games, and when he returns to action against the Cowboys on the road Sunday, Oct. 13 following a Week 5 bye, he'll be striving to reverse a two-game trend of dwindling receiving yardage totals.

Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Finds paydirt in Week 3 win
Rotowire
St. Brown caught seven of eight targets for 75 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Cardinals.
St. Brown caught a five-yard touchdown in the second quarter, then played a key role in Detroit's next touchdown in the final minute of the first half, as St. Brown made a one-yard catch and lateraled to Jahmyr Gibbs, who ran the remaining 20 yards into the end zone. After catching just three of six targets for 13 yards in Week 1, St. Brown has bounced back with 18 catches on 26 targets for 192 yards and a touchdown in two subsequent games, giving the star receiver plenty of momentum heading into a Week 4 home game against the Seahawks on MNF.

Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Dealing with contusion, cramping
Rotowire
St. Brown exited with about 30 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Buccaneers due to a leg contusion and cramping, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
St. Brown missed the Lions' final five plays of the contest due to a possible lower-body issue, but the wideout seems to have escaped Week 2 action without any serious harm. That said, St. Brown's status nonetheless merits monitoring ahead of this coming Sunday's game against the Cardinals. After being limited to three catches for 13 yards in the Lions' Week 1 overtime win over the Rams, Brown bounced back in Sunday's contest with 11 receptions for 119 yards on 19 targets.

Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Possible lower-body injury
Rotowire
St. Brown, who briefly left Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers, appears to be dealing with a lower-body issue, Kyle Meinke of mlive.com reports.
Per Meinke, St. Brown was seen limping out of the locker room after Sunday's contest, but for now the wideout's unspecified injury isn't believed to be serious. With that in mind, coach Dan Campbell said, "He's all right. I don't think it's anything long-term, so that's good news." In any case, this report makes St. Brown's status worth monitoring ahead of next weekend's game against the Cardinals.

Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Quiet in Week 1 win
Rotowire
St. Brown had three catches for 13 yards on six targets in Sunday's 26-20 overtime win over the Rams.
St. Brown was surprisingly quiet in the season opener while Jameson Williams racked up 121 receiving yards and a touchdown and Detroit's ground game took over late to get the team into the win column. You have to go back all the way to a four-yard performance against the Cowboys in Week 7 of 2022 to find the last time St. Brown had such few yards in a game, but it's much too early to press the panic button. The star receiver had at least 90 receiving yards in 11 of 16 regular-season appearances last year and will likely bounce back in Week 2 against the Buccaneers.

Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Totals 89 yards in playoff loss
Rotowire
St. Brown recorded seven receptions on 11 targets for 87 yards in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the 49ers. He added one rush for two yards.
St. Brown unsurprisingly had a key role in the Detroit offense, compiling double-digit targets for the fourth time in his last six games. He failed to top 100 yards or reach the end zone for the first time in that span, though he still managed long receptions of 23 and 17 yards -- both of which set up scores -- to make his mark on the contest. St. Brown has improved in each of his three campaigns in the league, and he closed the 2023 regular season with 119 receptions for 1,515 yards and 10 touchdowns. He'll be entering the final year of his rookie contract in 2024 and could be headed for a significant contract extension with the Lions this offseason.

Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Finishes regular season strong
Rotowire
St. Brown brought in seven of 10 targets for 144 yards and a touchdown in the Lions' 30-20 win over the Vikings on Sunday.
St. Brown found himself in the familiar position of leading the Lions across the board in receiving categories, essentially playing a normal amount of snaps in a game Detroit needed to position itself for a potential ascension to the No. 2 seed. The third-year wideout's yardage total was his second-highest tally of the season, and he heads into the postseason riding the momentum of a 119-1,515-10 line across 16 regular-season contests, including three 100-yard efforts in the last four games.

Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Picks apart Vikings secondary
Rotowire
St. Brown secured 12 of 14 targets for 106 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 30-24 win over the Vikings.
Minnesota had no answer for St. Brown with the division title on the line. Continuing to pile on the stats after already setting career highs in receiving yards (1,175) and touchdowns (seven) last week against Denver, St. Brown had his way with a burnable Vikings secondary over the middle of the field while also finding success working the sidelines and on a screen. With few receivers leaguewide handling bigger roles on offense, St. Brown should again stay busy when Detroit travels to Dallas in Week 17.

Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Held to 21 yards
Rotowire
St. Brown recorded three receptions on nine targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 28-13 loss to the Bears.
St. Brown saw a fairly typical number of targets, but he posted a season-low yardage total. He got off to a fairly normal start to the game by recording all three of his receptions within Detroit's first three offensive possessions. However, he was shut out from there as the Lions' entire offense faltered in the final two quarters. St. Brown has been one of the most consistent receivers this season, but he has only 70 total receiving yards combined across the last two games.

Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Finds end zone on quiet afternoon
Rotowire
St. Brown brought in two of six targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in the Lions' 33-28 win over the Saints on Sunday.
The star receiver took a rare back seat to rookie Sam LaPorta on the afternoon, with the latter pacing the Lions' air attack with a career-best 9-140-1 line. St. Brown was able to salvage his otherwise quiet day with a 25-yard touchdown grab over the middle just before the midway point of the fourth quarter, but he finished with season lows in receptions, receiving yards and targets. St. Brown, who'd posted no fewer than six receptions or 77 yards in any game since Week 4 prior to Sunday, will look to bet back on track at the expense of the Bears on the road in Week 14.

Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Another productive outing
Rotowire
St. Brown caught nine of 11 targets for 95 yards during Thursday's 29-22 loss to Green Bay.
Only Keenan Allen has averaged more targets per game than St. Brown has this season, and the USC product yet again took advantage of his voluminous role with a fifth eight-catch game in his past six outings. While St. Brown admittedly needed garbage time to approach the century mark in receiving yards, it can be argued that St. Brown was deprived of a number of other opportunities to rack up stats before that point thanks to Detroit's five failed fourth-down conversion attempts and three drive-killing fumbles. Look for St. Brown to stay busy when the Detroit offense looks to get back on track in a Week 13 road trip to New Orleans.

Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Eclipses century mark in win
Rotowire
St. Brown (illness) secured six of nine targets for 108 yards in the Lions' 26-14 win over the Raiders on Monday night.
St. Brown took a questionable designation into Monday after coming down with an illness Sunday, but he suited up and looked no worse for wear. The gifted wideout led the Lions in receiving yards while checking in second in receptions and targets, generating his third straight 100-yard effort in the process. While his catch and target totals were actually well behind the massive tallies of the last pair contests -- a stretch during which he generated 25 grabs on 34 targets -- St. Brown's fantasy night was still clearly a success. The third-year star will tangle with another AFC West opponent in the Chargers in Week 10 following a Week 9 bye.

Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Suiting up Monday
Rotowire
St. Brown (illness) is active for Monday's game versus the Raiders.
St. Brown came down with an illness Sunday that forced the Lions to add him to their Week 8 injury report as questionable to play Monday, but it won't impact his availability after all. He'll thus take on his usual high-volume role in Detroit's passing attack against a Las Vegas defense that has conceded the ninth-highest catch rate (69 percent) to opposing wide receivers this season.

Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Comes down with illness
Rotowire
The Lions added St. Brown to their Week 8 injury report Sunday due to an illness and are listing him as questionable for Monday's contest versus the Raiders.
Since missing Week 5 against the Panthers due to an abdominal injury, St. Brown has been heavily utilized in the passing game, as he's gathered in 25 of 34 targets for 226 yards and one touchdown over the last two games. With an illness now in tow, the status of Detroit's top wide receiver for Week 8 won't be confirmed until about 90 minutes before Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. If St. Brown ultimately sits out, fellow WRs Josh Reynolds, Jameson Williams and Kalif Raymond figure to handle bigger workloads.

Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Targeted 19 times
Rotowire
St. Brown recorded 13 receptions on 19 targets for 102 yards in Sunday's 38-6 loss to the Ravens.
The Lions offense was stalled for the entire game except for one late possession in garbage time, but that didn't stop St. Brown from recording his fourth 100-yard performance of the season. He did so almost entirely based on volume, as he averaged only 5.4 yards per target with his longest gain of the day going for 15 yards. While the performance wasn't one of his best, it does illustrate the safety of his weekly stat lines thanks to his integral role in the Detroit offense.

Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Returns with 124 yards
Rotowire
St. Brown recorded 12 receptions on 15 targets for 124 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-6 win over the Buccaneers.
St. Brown returned from a one-game absence caused by an abdominal injury, though he showed no signs of the issue. He tallied season-high marks in targets, receptions and yards, and his performance was highlighted by lengthy receptions of 27 and 23 yards -- the former of which went for a touchdown. While St. Brown has been limited to either seven or eight targets in three of his five games this season, he's still managed to top 100 receiving yards on three occasions.

Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Logs full practice Thursday
Rotowire
St. Brown (abdomen) practiced in full Thursday.
After giving St. Brown a week off, including the Lions' Week 5 win against the Panthers, to tend to an abdominal injury, St. Brown followed up Wednesday's capped session with all activity one day later. He even told Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com on Thursday, "I feel good. I feel ready, so we'll see," regarding his availability for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay. The Lions still may list St. Brown with a designation for Week 6 action upon the release of Friday's practice report, but all signs seem to point toward the wide receiver returning to action this weekend.
