Who Should I Start? Amon-Ra St. Brown or Chris Olave

Wednesday, April 24, 2:01 PM

The Detroit Lions agreed to a four-year contract extension with wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown on Wednesday that is worth $120 million with $77 million guaranteed. The deal makes St. Brown the highest-paid receiver in the league and ties him with Miami's Tyreek Hill in average annual value ($30 million). The 24-year-old former fourth-round pick in 2021 out of USC has been an excellent value for Detroit. He's made the Pro Bowl in each of the last two seasons and put up career-highs in catches (119), targets (164), receiving yards (1,515) and touchdowns (10) in 16 regular-season games in his third year in the NFL in 2024. With Quarterback Jared Goff still peppering St. Brown with targets in 2024, he'll continue to serve as a high-end WR1 for fantasy managers.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave grabbed all three targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 48-17 win over the Atlanta Falcons. The second-year receiver now has back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons, finishing the year with 1,067 yards and four touchdowns. Olave and the Saints will now eagerly await the results of the Green Bay-Chicago game and the Seattle-Arizona game, as they can make the playoffs with a Green Bay and Seattle loss.
