Amon-Ra St. Brown Week 8 Fantasy Outlook: is he playing this week?

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown is listed as questionable for the Week 8 game against the Miami Dolphins this Sunday. The Detroit Lions haven't been able to do much since the start of the season and are currently 1-5 this season. The Lions have lost four back-to-back games and hope to win their week eight games against the Dolphins.

Amon-Ra St. Brown was knocked out early in the game against the Dallas Cowboys. Fearing he might suffer a concussion, he was sent back to the locker room and currently stands questionable for the upcoming game.

However, Brown was available for limited practice sessions with the team on Wednesday and Thursday. Although the team has not clarified his playing status, it seems Brown is healthy and will be participating in Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

If you have Amon-Ra St. Brown on your fantasy roster, you can start with him this week. Brown's recent performances have dropped in the last few weeks, but he has a chance against the Dolphins to prove himself. The Dolphins defense is giving up the seventh-most fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers.

In the first two weeks, Brown had 17 receptions for 180 yards and scored three touchdowns. But in the last three games, he has recorded only 11 receptions for 95 yards and hasn't scored a touchdown.

If St. Brown and Josh Reynold miss Sunday's game, it will be all up to running back Jamaal Williams and tight end TJ Hockenson to lead the team to victory. Reynold is suffering from a knee injury. He did not participate on Wednesday but was a limited participant on Thursday.
