Amon-Ra St. Brown Faces Tough Matchup In Week 18
2 years agoDetroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has been a fantasy superstar in 2022, but it's worth noting he'll face a tough matchup in Week 18. The Green Bay Packers have allowed the 10th-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers this season and its defense has come alive in recent weeks during the four-game winning streak. However, St. Brown has commanded at least nine targets in 11 of his 15 games played this season, so he's a strong start and DFS option regardless of matchup. Packers' cornerback Jaire Alexander presents matchup problems for outside receivers, but he has just a 46.9-percent shadow rate (Playerprofiler.com), so that's not a concern here for the elite slot wide receiver. It's worth noting If the Seattle Seahawks beat the Los Angeles Rams before this game kicks off, Detroit will already be eliminated from playoff contention, so there's also a risk the motivation could be lacking for this one.
