Best matchups for fantasy football Week 16: 3. Amon-Ra St. Brown, WR, Detroit Lions (vs. CAR)

Amon-Ra St. Brown has been the definition of consistency in fantasy football, as he’s finished as a top-30 fantasy receiver in seven out of the last eight weeks. He is among the top of the receiver rankings in target share, and is a big reason behind Detroit’s recent surge to 7-7.

St. Brown is likely already in your starting lineup, but if you’ve got a stacked team and are wavering between him and another player, note that this week’s matchup for St. Brown is one of the best he’s had all season.

The Carolina Panthers allow the 12th-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers and have been trending downward over the last couple of weeks. St. Brown is usually matchup-proof, but here he should have no problems seeing top-20 numbers as a must-start option.
