Amon-Ra St. Brown vs Ja'Marr Chase: Who Should You Start?

This is a genuine coin flip on paper. Amon-Ra St. Brown finished the 2025 season at 15.6 PPG over 17 games with the Detroit Lions, while Ja'Marr Chase clocked in at 15.7 across 16 appearances for the Cincinnati Bengals. A 0.1-point gap means any given week could go either way.

With a margin this thin, season averages are not the deciding factor. Weekly variables like opponent defense, game script, and injury status carry more weight than a fraction of a PPG. The right start in Week 6 might be the wrong start in Week 14.

Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. Amon-Ra St. Brown turned 172 targets into 1401 yards and 11 touchdowns, while Ja'Marr Chase converted 185 looks into 1412 yards and 8 scores. When target volume is this close, game script and defensive matchup typically decide the weekly winner.

One scheduling note: Amon-Ra St. Brown is off Week 5 and Ja'Marr Chase 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.
