Amon-Ra St. Brown Took a Backseat While Detroit Struggled

Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown disappointed, catching four of six targets for 45 yards. He didn’t even lead the WRs in snaps, with Jameson Williams logging 65 to St. Brown’s 63. Detroit’s offensive struggles against the Packers led to disappointing results across the board.

2025 Fantasy Football Impact

In 13 personnel (three TEs on the field), Williams outsnapped St. Brown four to two, explaining the difference. Both played 100% of snaps in two- and three-WR sets.

The stat line reflected the Lions’ offensive issues. They simply couldn’t support strong fantasy production. It’s unclear whether losing OC Ben Johnson contributed to the decline.

We pegged St. Brown as a 2025 “bust,” and he could struggle to meet his ADP if Detroit doesn’t improve. Upcoming games against the Bears and Ravens may at least offer chances for more catches.
