Amon-Ra St. Brown vs Elic Ayomanor: Who Should You Start?
Amon-Ra St. Brown and Elic Ayomanor are at different tiers heading into 2026. The Detroit Lions wide receiver averaged 15.6 PPG in 2025, a full 9.6 points per game ahead of Elic Ayomanor's 6.0 with the Tennessee Titans. That kind of gap doesn't close on matchup alone.
That 9.6-point weekly advantage for Amon-Ra St. Brown is meaningful but not automatic. Fantasy football is a week-to-week sport, and the answer to "who should I start" often changes based on opponent, recent form, and game environment. Season averages set the baseline; weekly context makes the call.
Target volume is the story here. Amon-Ra St. Brown saw 172 targets in 2025, while Elic Ayomanor drew 89. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for Amon-Ra St. Brown, even in weeks where Elic Ayomanor posts the bigger ceiling game. Consistency-minded managers lean toward target share; boom-bust managers chase the upside.
Both share a Week 5 bye, which matters for roster construction. If you are stacking wide receivers this deep on your bench, plan your replacement wide receiver early.
