2023 Fantasy Outlook
A 2021 fourth-round pick who went beserk in the second half of his rookie year, St. Brown got it done from start to finish in 2022 and definitively answered any doubts about his Year 1 production. An ankle sprain in late September cost him one game and rendered him ineffective in the next two, yet he finished with 106 catches for 1,161 yards and six touchdowns, with no fewer than four receptions or 49 yards in any of his other 14 appearances. The Lions now hope 2022 first-rounder Jameson Williams can emerge as their primary perimeter weapon after a six-game suspension, but that would still leave a boatload of targets for the primarily slot-based St. Brown given the team's otherwise mediocre depth chart at wide receiver and tight end. The tight ends, in particular, appear to be a weak point after last year's T.J. Hockenson trade, leaving the short passing attack in the hands of St. Brown and running backs David Montgomery and 2023 first-round pick Jahmyr Gibbs. Another 100-catch season is coming so long as St. Brown stays relatively healthy. Read Past Outlooks

Talking extension
St. Brown is discussing an extension with the Lions, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 2021 fourth-round pick is entering the final season of his rookie contract, after catching 315 passes for 3,588 yards and 21 touchdowns through his first three years. It's likely only a matter of time before St. Brown becomes one of the highest-paid non-QBs in the league, though he may be hesitant to sign before seeing what other top WRs about to hit the open market end up getting, such as Justin Jefferson, CeeDee Lamb and Ja'Marr Chase. In any case, St. Brown will be back as the lead target for quarterback Jared Goff in a talented Detroit offense that looks set to return either nine or 10 starters from last season plus a handful of key backups.

Geno Smith's future is uncertain beyond 2024, but we at least now have clear signals that the Seahawks will keep him as their starter for the upcoming year.
Try as he might, RotoWire's Jerry Donabedian couldn't find a way to bump Josh Allen from the QB1 spot. Teammate Stefon Diggs was a tougher projection, as were some other aging WRs.
Puka Nacua was the leader of a 2023 rookie class that outperformed expectations, setting the table for a 2024 class that comes with far more hype thanks to mega prospects Marvin Harrison and Malik Nabers.
Latest Fantasy Rumors
Extension talks ongoing
St. Brown and the Lions are in talks on a contract extension that will pay him between $26 million and $28 million annually, according to Dan Graziano of ESPN.
ANALYSIS
St. Brown has one year remaining on his rookie contract, but Detroit is looking to sign the wide receiver to a long-term deal on the heels of his 1,515-yard season in 2023. The league's highest-paid wide receiver is Tyreek Hill at $30 million, so it would make sense for St. Brown's annual salary to come in slightly below that amount.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
St. Brown was perhaps the most unlikely fantasy hero of 2021. His final stat line isn't
overwhelming, but he got there by finishing the year with six consecutive games of at least 10
targets, eight catches and 74 yards, scoring six TDs (one rushing) in that stretch. Neither
particularly big nor fast, St. Brown nonetheless had some promise ahead of last year's draft,
after catching 178 passes for 2,270 yards and 16 TDs in two and a half seasons at USC. He
caught 60 passes as a true freshman, consistently earning targets while playing alongside
Michael Pittman (and later Drake London). A 4.51 40-yard dash at USC's pro day may have
contributed to the notion of St. Brown merely being a slot prospect, but he otherwise put up solid
numbers, including a 38.5-inch vertical and 20 bench-press reps. The Lions drafted him early in
the fourth round, initially installing him as their slot/third receiver. Eventually, though, his role
expanded, with the rookie taking double-digit snaps on the perimeter each game from Week 12
on. He still played the slot, primarily, but the Lions got creative to spice up their otherwise
moribund offense, even giving St. Brown seven carries over the final six weeks. He'll have more competition for touches this year, featured alongside running back D'Andre Swift and tight end T.J. Hockenson in the Detroit offense, with veteran wideout DJ Chark and speedy rookie
Jameson Williams (coming back from a torn ACL in January) being the wild cards. TBD if St.
Brown is still a target hog.
