Just watched the Lions-Packers game which was a fantastic tussle. Concerned about St. Brown however. This will be the third week in a row he has scored less than 20. There were a lot of snaps where he was not even running a target route. He just blocked or was used as a decoy. With a dominant pair of RB and Williams and now Patrick taking some of the passing action I think I might consider trading him before he loses too much value. If the numbers worked out might get enough cash out of the trade to get Mixon.

Yeah, it's a worry.
It seems to me that Detroit have been so dominant that they are at the stage of expanding their repertoire - at least in terms of pass catchers.
They don't want opponents to just lock in on Brown and no-one else. They know what he can do, now it's "lets see what the others can do". Give opponents more to worry about.
Their next three are tough: Buffalo, SF and Chicago. It'll be interesting to see the targets in those.
I think Brown is their best WR and maybe, just maybe, they are saving him for when he's really needed.
As I have him in both my draft teams and RDT I certainly hope so.
He's way down on targets and yards compared to the last two years:
2024: 98 targets - 863 yds
2023: 164 targets - 1,515 yds
2022: 146 targets - 1,161 yds

If you have Netflix I can recommend Untold Story Sign Stealer. Doco about Connor Stalion who was a sign stealer for Michigan. As a result of what happened at Michigan in the 2023/24 college season they introduced in helmet communications for on field players this year and got rid of the need for sign callers. He was certainly committed to the cause.
It appears half my WR are questionable this week. (Nabers, McConkey, Pickens)
Thinking of selling Nabers if I can't field 6 players. I think he is the most likely to be rested as Giants don't have anything to play for.
Have $14 million to spend. Thinking about getting in Jefferson, Jeudy, Evans (depending on calf/hamstring) or Westbrook-Ikhine.
But leaning towards Jefferson.
Thoughts?

Bucky Irving (back) doubtful to return Sunday
10 minutes ago via Fantasy Pros
Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving (back) is doubtful to return against the Raiders.
Analysis: Irving was dealing with a back injury leading up to Week 14 and appears to have re-aggravated the injury during the game. He tallied three rushing yards on four attempts and caught his lone target for 15 yards prior to the injury.

Yep.
No complaints. My back-up QB Darnold had 68 - which I am very happy with. As he scored 18 the last time I had to use him there was no way I was going to "vc" him.
For those thinking of trading Amon-Ra, take note of Jefferson's score.
He managed a 57 today after 26, 7, 22 and 14 in his previous four games.
Not saying Amon-Ra will do that but it is the sort of thing the better WRs do.
