WR Amon-Ra St. Brown was forced to miss last week’s win over the Carolina Panthers due to a abdomen injury. He was back at practice this week and is ready to go for Week 6.

Start or sit in Week 6 PPR leagues?
Start. This isn’t something we need to think to hard about heading into this week. If St. Brown is healthy, he starts in pretty much all formats. While St. Brown is a must-start, it is a tough matchup vs. the Bucs. Tampa Bay is allowing the fifth-fewest points to WRs in fantasy football this season. St. Brown is also a risk for re-injury. You’ve got to start him but there’s some risk there. There’s also a ton of upside since St. Brown is one of the top wideouts in the NFL.
Player(s) you would start ahead of Amon-Ra St. Brown
You shouldn’t be considering someone else over St. Brown really. He’s a WR1 by draft position and his production shouldn’t really change that.
