2023 Fantasy Outlook
A 2021 fourth-round pick who went beserk in the second half of his rookie year, St. Brown got it done from start to finish in 2022 and definitively answered any doubts about his Year 1 production. An ankle sprain in late September cost him one game and rendered him ineffective in the next two, yet he finished with 106 catches for 1,161 yards and six touchdowns, with no fewer than four receptions or 49 yards in any of his other 14 appearances. The Lions now hope 2022 first-rounder Jameson Williams can emerge as their primary perimeter weapon after a six-game suspension, but that would still leave a boatload of targets for the primarily slot-based St. Brown given the team's otherwise mediocre depth chart at wide receiver and tight end. The tight ends, in particular, appear to be a weak point after last year's T.J. Hockenson trade, leaving the short passing attack in the hands of St. Brown and running backs David Montgomery and 2023 first-round pick Jahmyr Gibbs. Another 100-catch season is coming so long as St. Brown stays relatively healthy. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS

Held to 49 yards in finale
St. Brown had six receptions (nine targets) for 49 yards in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Packers.
ANALYSIS
St. Brown didn't post huge fantasy numbers in the last game of the season, but he did make an impossible catch with his legs on the Lions' final drive of the game to seal the win and knock the rival Packers out of playoff contention. The 22-year-old took his game to another level in his sophomore campaign, racking up 106 receptions for 1,161 yards and six touchdowns in 16 games. St. Brown developed a strong rapport as Jared Goff's favorite target, a scenario that should continue in 2023 as the Lions look to build off of a solid run this year.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
St. Brown was perhaps the most unlikely fantasy hero of 2021. His final stat line isn't
overwhelming, but he got there by finishing the year with six consecutive games of at least 10
targets, eight catches and 74 yards, scoring six TDs (one rushing) in that stretch. Neither
particularly big nor fast, St. Brown nonetheless had some promise ahead of last year's draft,
after catching 178 passes for 2,270 yards and 16 TDs in two and a half seasons at USC. He
caught 60 passes as a true freshman, consistently earning targets while playing alongside
Michael Pittman (and later Drake London). A 4.51 40-yard dash at USC's pro day may have
contributed to the notion of St. Brown merely being a slot prospect, but he otherwise put up solid
numbers, including a 38.5-inch vertical and 20 bench-press reps. The Lions drafted him early in
the fourth round, initially installing him as their slot/third receiver. Eventually, though, his role
expanded, with the rookie taking double-digit snaps on the perimeter each game from Week 12
on. He still played the slot, primarily, but the Lions got creative to spice up their otherwise
moribund offense, even giving St. Brown seven carries over the final six weeks. He'll have more competition for touches this year, featured alongside running back D'Andre Swift and tight end T.J. Hockenson in the Detroit offense, with veteran wideout DJ Chark and speedy rookie
Jameson Williams (coming back from a torn ACL in January) being the wild cards. TBD if St.
Brown is still a target hog.
