Amon-Ra St. Brown Rest-of-Season Outlook
Target-heavy WR1 every week
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished WR3 last season at 19.1 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 3 games he's WR2 at 25.3 PPR points per game, against 19.1 over 17 games last season (WR3). He's running ahead of last season's pace.
Last season he ranked 2nd of 142 in target volume (31.3% target share), 6th of 142 in downfield role (37.2% air-yards share) and 9th of 142 in efficiency (2.49 yards per route run). His points come from his target volume. Jared Goff is his quarterback.
The job is secure: he's the listed starter and one of the best at his position. The main risk is health, and Tom Kennedy is next on the depth chart if he misses time.
The next favorable matchups are the Cardinals in Week 5 (4th against WRs) and the Packers in Week 7 (10th against WRs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
St. Brown is one of the surest target machines in football, and 2025 only widened the moat. He commanded 172 targets on a 31.3% target share with a 90.8% route rate, turning that volume into 117 grabs for 1,401 yards and 11 scores. A 0.73 WOPR and 2.49 yards per route run confirm he is the centerpiece, not a complementary piece, and his 35 red-zone and 21 end-zone looks anchor the touchdown floor that fantasy managers crave.
The efficiency dipped slightly from 2024's elite 0.684 EPA per play to a still-strong 0.323, with success rate sliding to 53.5%, partly explained by 10 drops on a heavier workload. Jared Goff keeps feeding him, and three straight 1,250-plus-yard campaigns make this the rare profile with almost no bust risk. Draft him confidently as a first-round WR1 whose role and route volume guarantee a high weekly floor.
