Detroit Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown enters the 2022 season after a surprising rookie season. He was a huge positive for the Lions in what was a tough season to find bright spots for a Detroit team that finished 3-13-1 last season.
There’s hope the 2022 season will bring more luck to the Lions than last season, and their solid offseason, enhancing both sides of the ball, suggests it will.
Below, we look at Amon-Ra St. Brown’s 2022 fantasy football average draft position (ADP) and where you should draft him.
On 119 targets, St. brown finished with 90 receptions, which is about a 76% catch rate. For the Lions last season, that’s terrific. The 2021 4th-round pick had 910 receiving yards with 5 touchdowns during his rookie campaign.
Amon-Ra St. Brown’s ADP: 62.46
(ADP data courtesy of MyFantasyLeague.com; last updated at time of this publishing – ADPs continually change as more drafts occur)
St. Brown has an ADP of 63.71. Detroit didn’t place too high in the ADP rankings as the only other Lion ranked above St. Brown is RB D’Andre Swift, who has an ADP of 17.45.
Among wide receivers, St. Brown’s ADP puts him 25th at the position, behind the likes of JuJu Smith-Schuster (Kansas City Chiefs) and Michael Thomas (New Orleans Saints) and slightly ahead of Adam Thielen (Minnesota Vikings) and Chris Godwin (Tampa Bay Buccaneers).

Where should you draft St. Brown?
St. Brown’s fantasy value should get a boost this year for a myriad of reasons. Experience is simply one of them. He’ll be entering his 2nd season in the league.
The 2nd year of the QB Jared Goff-coach Dan Campbell relationship is another. The 1st-round additions of Alabama star WR Jameson Williams and Michigan star DE Aidan Hutchinson is a 3rd.
The Lions should be better than a 3-win team and those extended possessions should aid St. Brown’s fantasy value. St. Brown finished as the 21st-highest scoring receiver in PPR formats and should see similar success this upcoming season.
Don’t let St. Brown fall out of the 6th-round in PPR formats and certainly feel free to reach into the late-5th round to secure the rising star.
St. Brown could see 100 catches and 1,000-plus yards and has the potential to be a top-10 fantasy receiver. I would pay a premium for the 22-year-old receiver.
