Amon-Ra St. Brown vs Marquise Brown: Who Should You Start?
The numbers tell a clear story here. Amon-Ra St. Brown put up 15.6 fantasy points per game for the Detroit Lions in 2025, while Marquise Brown managed 7.1 across 16 games with the Philadelphia Eagles. A 8.5-point weekly edge is substantial at the wide receiver position.
That 8.5-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 Marquise Brown drew 74. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for Amon-Ra St. Brown, even in weeks where Marquise Brown 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.
