WR Amon-Ra St. Brown, DET (20 Viewers)

[Da Guru]

As a Lion fan this one did not look good. The plays when a 300lb lineman crashes into the legs from behind has to be players worst fears. St Brown never takes a play off or comes out so this is concerning for sure.

 

[The Kerminator]

Woke up. Before I even got coffee or said good morning to wife or dogs I knelt down and prayed to the fantasy gods. My prayer involved solving world hunger and world peace. Also that Amon misses just one game. Amen.

You asked the fantasy gods big tasks like solving world hunger and world peace and for ASB to only miss one game? Heck, if you're gonna shoot for the moon on the first two why not shoot for the moon on the last one and ask for zero games?

Amateurs

 

[Buckna]

Obligatory man injuries suck this year post. He was keeping one of my redraft teams alive after some bad schedule luck but the zero and if he misses next week its probably sunk my chances for the playoffs. Highest scoring team in the league and a negative head-to-head record

Because I'm not greedy. World peace. World hunger. Amon 1 game seemed reasonable to me. Ha ha

Not me. I need him next week to keep my playoff hopes alive. Can we maybe give up on the world peace or world hunger thingy?

I'd settle on 2 games, back for week 15 and the start of the playoffs, and free/affordable healthcare.

First kinda real news:

Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown is believed to have suffered a low ankle sprain Sunday, sources say, and while he continues to be evaluated, it’s good news so far on his chances for returning sooner than later.

Detroit plays just one game in the next 16 days: Dec. 4 against Dallas

[FarFromHome]

At this point, Amon-Ra St. Brown is not expected to land on IR and likely will be week-to-week as the Lions enter the stretch run.

So I guess we can now get back to that world peace and world hunger stuff

Yep. First we have to give thanks for the part you and I played in this. The world may never realize how much of a factor we played in this. We both stepped up big.

So do you want to handle the world peace or the world hunger? I'll work on whatever one you don't want. Or have we done enough and let someone else step up for the other little things?

World hunger is a super easy one. Just allow hunting anywhere anytime.

And then there are no animals left... There is a reason why every State and Country has conservation plans and strategies.

Already handled. As a Jameson owner I prayed for more targets and less hunger.

 

[FarFromHome]

This thread is the case study example on how threads can branch off topic. Ha ha

Love you Amon!!!!

 

[FarFromHome]

The MRI and other tests confirmed a low-ankle sprain with no structural damage and a quick return, sources say. Essentially, a 1-2 week injury like Dan Campbell said. Amon-Ra St. Brown will, of course, push to play, though...

[Hot Sauce Guy]

I’d give him a 25% shot at suiting up this week.

75% next week.

Mortal lock to play in 3 weeks.

 

[Chaka]

I wonder how he is going to adjust to being the #2 WR on the Lions going forward.

JAMO 4 LIFE!!!

No, your delusions of grandeur are clouding your memory because that was Jamo’s 2nd 0 point week. The last one was preceded by a 2 point week. He’s also sprinkled in 6.8, 6.5, and 6.2 this year.

So much winning.

They weren’t so fun through half the season when he was being talked about as unstartable.

Bear in mind, I’m a fan. I have him on 3 dynasty rosters now. And a redraft.

But cherry picking his good starts isn’t an honest approach at player evaluation. It’s ok that you have a mancrush. Just be honest about it.

That all said, ARSB getting hurt with LaPorta already hurt certainly opens the door to more production - I just wish we’d had more consistency earlier in the year. Hopefully the Lions realize his potential and continue to use him after ARSB Is back.

And the other six are 0.0, 0.0, 2.0, 6.0, 6.3, 6.6. If you look up "boom/bust" in the dictionary, it has Jameson's picture in the margin. Love him though, those numbers are nothing to shake a stick at*. Glad to have him but glad to not have to worry about starting him. Would love to see him break out into stardom one of these years.

*I thought this meant it's pretty good, but I guess it has more of a negative meaning. Let's go with "nothing to sneeze at".

Dreaded game time decision for the Thursday night game.

Lions WR St. Brown likely a game-time decision

Lions receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (sprained ankle) has yet to practice this week and is likely to be a game-time decision against the Cowboys on Thursday night.

www.espn.com

What can we expect if he is active? I lean towards you have to start him unless you have a solid backup on your bench. Thoughts?
Totally understand every situation is different and some teams have already clinched a playoff spot while others need a win this week.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Ugh. I may have to start him if he’s active. I fear the decoy.

 

[Gally]

Ugh. I may have to start him if he’s active. I fear the decoy.

Thursday games are always crappy offensively. The only difference for this Thursday game is that both teams last played on Thanksgiving so they have had normal rest and prep time as if it was a normal Sunday game. That should help with the crappy short week effect that most Thursday games have.

All that to say that I have no idea if you should play him if he is active or not. A typical short week Thursday I would say stay away. Not sure about this situation.

 

[FarFromHome]

I know it's selfish. I'm fine with that. When it comes to fantasy football I am extremely selfish. I want him to sit this week. Gives him a long stretch to get right. Luv u Amon...

The narrative that Thursday games are bad for offenses is false. Other than Raiders/Broncos in week 10, and maybe Bills/Texans in week 12. Thursday games have been pretty in line or actually above average in scoring this season.

I personally doubt Amon-Ra is playing, and think the Lions are just trying to make Dallas prepare for him.

I guess I am just lucky then as 80% of the time I play a Thursday offensive player in my lineup they are below average and below projections.

Yeah, that is exceptionally bad luck. There have been several fantasy bonanzas on Thursday games this season.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

And both the Broncos and Bills are top defenses, so that adds credibility here.

Yep - for a glaring example, all of my Thanksgiving players blew up. Absolute bonanza.

Some of that may be that there were a lot of upper tier offenses playing on turkey day........although tomorrow is two top tier offenses too.

 

[Footballdaz]

Not an owner in any league,but wld not start him if needing a win, if iffy. Cld be a decoy,cld make ankle worse by playing.

Its a big game for both teams.
But Lions wld be smart to sit ASB and not risk losing him for multiple weeks and missing playoffs.
I think he sits. But wld love for him to play as I'm starting Goff. I don't trust Jamo doing what he did last week.

Ton of screen passes for Gibbs coming Tmrw nite..

ARSB is also the type of dude who could have 12 targets with 10 receptions for 65 yards and a TD as a “decoy”.

And Jamo will likely revert back to his invisible self EVEN IF ARSB sits. Has he ever put together two big weeks in a row? Probably back to 0 to 2 catches for < 25 yds.

 

[Payne]

If he can play at all, he's going to play. This is their season.
