Amon-Ra St. Brown vs Jakobi Meyers: Who Should You Start?
There is a real production gap between these two wide receivers. Amon-Ra St. Brown (Detroit Lions) averaged 15.6 PPG over 17 games in 2025, outscoring Jakobi Meyers (Jacksonville Jaguars, 8.6 PPG) by 7.0 points per week. That separation would need a significant matchup swing to overcome.
The per-game difference of 7.0 points favors Amon-Ra St. Brown, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one wide receiver to the other.
Target volume is the story here. Amon-Ra St. Brown saw 172 targets in 2025, while Jakobi Meyers drew 110. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for Amon-Ra St. Brown, even in weeks where Jakobi Meyers posts the bigger ceiling game. Consistency-minded managers lean toward target share; boom-bust managers chase the upside.
One scheduling note: Amon-Ra St. Brown is off Week 5 and Jakobi Meyers Week 12. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in wide receiver for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
