Is Amon-Ra St. Brown playing today? Lions WR's slow start vs Cardinals frustrates fantasy football managers | Hindustan Times

Amon-Ra St. Brown is active and playing for the Detroit Lions against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 5.However, the Lions wide receiver has had a slow start. Early in the second quarter, with Detroit leading 14-7, St. Brown had yet to record a catch or receiving yard despite being targeted a couple of times.The Lions have relied more on their running game and tight end Sam LaPorta early in the game. St. Brown’s quiet start has frustrated fantasy football managers who expected a strong performance from the star receiver. Even a solid punt return has done little to ease concerns among those waiting for him to produce receiving points.One fan wrote on X, "Amon-Ra St. Brown is so bad that he has been relegated to returning punts. What a complete bust in every way."Another added, "Amon Ra St Brown just became my least favorite player in the league for the rest of the week."A third person commented, "The fact that Teagan Quitoriano is outscoring Amon-Ra St. Brown and Michael Wilson so far just sums up fantasy football today."Another fan expressed, "Please for all thats good in life give amon ra st brown the ball so he can score a touchdown please its all I need."One more wrote, "Amon Ra St Brown is not having a good day, these are routine catches for him he doesn’t look like he’s in a rhythm. Normally he would have 150+"Also Read: What happened to David Montgomery?
