Amon-Ra St. Brown enters the 2026 season as the Detroit Lions’ primary wide receiver and most consistent target in the passing game, coming off a 2025 campaign of 117 receptions for 1,401 yards and 11 touchdowns on a career-high 172 targets. His high-volume role persists amid a retooled offense following the departure of coordinator Ben Johnson, with new play-caller Drew Petzing and quarterback Jared Goff expected to maintain significant underneath and intermediate work for the slot receiver. Jameson Williams’ deep threat presence helps create separation, while St. Brown’s durability—having missed just one game across the prior three seasons—supports steady accumulation despite occasional minor ailments like the late-2025 knee and ankle issues. Key variables include target competition from running back Jahmyr Gibbs and tight end Sam LaPorta, offensive line health after roster changes, and overall team passing volume in a schedule that features favorable early matchups. Projections from multiple outlets center around 1,200–1,400 receiving yards assuming full participation.
