WR · Detroit · 2026 outlook
Amon-Ra St. Brown took 31 percent of Detroit's targets in 2025. He turned them into 117 catches, 1,401 yards and 11 touchdowns across all 17 games.
Thirty-one percent of a team's targets is the number that matters most here, because it is the one that does not depend on anything going right. St. Brown saw 172 targets across 17 games and caught 117 of them, a 68 percent catch rate that reflects where he works rather than luck. He plays inside, the throws are short and timed, and the volume arrives whether Detroit is ahead or behind. That is why he is the safest receiver in this tier: 117 receptions in full PPR is 117 points before yardage, and target share of that size is the most stable predictor at the position.
The 11 touchdowns are the part with room to move in either direction, and they are what separated a very good season from an elite one. Detroit spreads scoring around more than most offenses, so double-digit receiving touchdowns is closer to his ceiling than his floor. For 2026 the schedule helps, a 4 out of 5 for receivers, though the bye lands early in week 6. There is no obvious flaw to argue about. He is not the biggest-play receiver on the board and he does not need to be, because volume at his rate produces a weekly floor that the boom-or-bust profiles cannot match.
Because it survives changes that yardage and touchdowns do not. A receiver's catch total and scoring move with quarterback play, game script and red-zone luck. A 31 percent share says the offense is built to throw to him, and that tends to persist from season to season.
Yes. A hundred and seventeen receptions is worth 117 points before a yard counts, and the target share underneath it is the most durable in this group. In standard scoring his case is weaker, because the profile is volume and short catches rather than long touchdowns.
Treat it as the high end rather than the expectation. Detroit distributes red-zone work widely, and receiving touchdowns bounce around more than receptions do. Eight is a more honest projection, which costs about 18 points and does not move him out of the tier.
