Amon-Ra St. Brown practises in full Thursday after missing Wednesday (ankle)

Amon-Ra St. Brown practised in full Thursday after missing Wednesday with an ankle issue. He tweaked his ankle in Sunday's win over Green Bay and sat out Wednesday as a precaution, then returned to full practice Thursday, eliminating doubts about his availability for Sunday's game against Minnesota.

St. Brown is expected to play without limitations Sunday. He caught nine of 11 targets for 153 yards last week against Green Bay for 19.7 half-PPR points, commanding 78 per cent of snaps and a 36 per cent target share. He ranks fourth at receiver in our models with a Roundup Score of 91 out of 99, and our models project 14.4 half-PPR points a game. Minnesota has allowed 20.4 half-PPR points a game to receivers, the 4th fewest of 32.

Amon-Ra St. Brown

St. Brown has averaged 87 per cent of snaps and a 32 per cent target share over his last three games, averaging 11.0 targets and 13.7 half-PPR points a game. His role is worth more than his recent points: our models show he is scoring 6.0 half-PPR points a game below what his usage predicts over his last three games, the 173rd mark of 176 receivers. His receiving subscore of 94 ranks 4th of 191 receivers.

He led Detroit's receivers with 11 targets last week, whilst Jameson Williams drew nine. Over the season St. Brown has averaged 11.3 targets a game and 17.6 half-PPR points, and our models project 14.4 half-PPR points a game with 2.25 wins above replacement at a season pace, 3rd of 191 receivers. Minnesota allows fewer points than most defences to receivers, but St. Brown's volume and role security make him a high-end WR1 for this week and beyond.

What to do

• Start Amon-Ra St. Brown as a high-end WR1 in all formats for Sunday's game against Minnesota.

• Expect St. Brown to play without limitations after returning to full practice Thursday.
