🏈 Fantasy impact
If St. Brown misses the rest of the game, Jameson Williams becomes the top receiver for Detroit. Williams already has 83.7 PPR points and four touchdowns through six games, so he is a high-ceiling replacement. Isaac TeSlaa would see an expanded role but has only 29.7 PPR points on the season. Monitor St. Brown’s status, but if he is out, consider Williams a strong start next week against the team’s next opponent. For now, hold St. Brown until more information is available.
