Last week, we saw the Lions deploy Amon-Ra St. Brown more on the outside, and he caught seven of his nine targets for 109 yards against the Packers. Expect more of that in this game, as the Lions will want to get St. Brown isolated vs. the Vikings' zone, giving him more space to operate.

St. Brown isolated outside vs. Vikings zone; 7-of-9 targets, 109 yards last week

St. Brown caught 7 of 9 targets for 109 yards vs. the Packers last week and will see increased outside deployment vs. the Vikings' zone coverage. The Lions plan to isolate him on the outside to give him more space to operate, and he may receive choice routes allowing depth adjustment based on Vikings blitz reads. When aligned on the same side with Jameson Williams, the Lions average 8.0 yards per play with an 18.3% explosive-play rate; pairing them stretches the zone deep and opens underneath space for St. Brown.
