Amon-Ra St. Brown was a core DFS stacking partner for Jared Goff and a frequent selection in high-ownership builds. Mattek noted he is a benchmark for high-tier ownership, typically commanding around 20% of the field, though Mattek occasionally pivoted away from him to accommodate three-running-back roster constructions.PositiveValueSep 10, 2026
Davis Mattek identifies Amon-Ra St. Brown as a top-tier DFS option, preferring him over Ja'Marr Chase even at three times the ownership. Mattek cites the favorable matchup, the game's high 50.5-point total, and St. Brown's role in a high-floor, high-scoring Lions offense that plays indoors.PositiveProjectionJun 13, 2026
Referenced as part of the elite WR tier with 19-20 fantasy points per game ceilings. His team with Kenneth Walker and Jeremiah Love is cited as having a very, very good fantasy team that probably has honestly a higher ceiling than Davis Mattek's own draft team at wide receiver.PositiveValueJun 7, 2026
Identified as one of three elite WR anchor options at pick 11 (alongside CeeDee Lamb and Justin Jefferson). If available, St. Brown would be a strong anchor to build around, allowing the drafter to ignore the WR position for the rest of the draft.PositiveValueMay 31, 2026
Mattek states he was 'actually hoping to take Amon-Ra St. Brown in this draft cuz he's the one I have the least of,' indicating he has the lowest portfolio ownership of St. Brown and would prefer to add him. However, he ultimately selects Lamb at 1.8 due to the Kenneth Walker pairing opportunity. Mattek acknowledges he doesn't have a huge conviction opinion on St. Brown but views him as a portfolio-balancing target.PositiveValueMay 22, 2026
Amon-Ra St. Brown is a primary draftable piece in the Lions' best ball stack with a 24-point implied total in the Detroit-Chicago game. Davis Mattek identifies him alongside David Montgomery (Gibbs) and Sam LaPorta as the core Lions stack, rating this as the number one overall game for stacking if played in Detroit.PositiveValueNo date
Classified as one of six premium wide receiver picks in the current draft landscape (alongside Chase, Puka, JSN, Jefferson, and Lamb), reflecting elite-tier ADP and draft capital allocation. Selected in first round (9th slot) of DraftKings Millionaire Maker draft; Davis Mattek describes first round as 'a little bit of a weird' ADP landscape with CMC and JT positioning, suggesting St. Brown represents a strong value pick in that context. However, Mattek notes that St. Brown and London do not feel quite as spicy, suggesting diminished excitement or value compared to prior expectations.PositiveProjectionNo date

Davis Mattek is lighter than intended on Amon-Ra St. Brown at only $469 invested in salary cap leagues, expressing uncertainty about his draft positioning.
