Amon-Ra St. Brown enters the 2026 NFL season as the Detroit Lions’ primary slot receiver and top target in an offense led by quarterback Jared Goff, with supporting weapons including Jameson Williams, Jahmyr Gibbs, and tight end Sam LaPorta. He posted 117 receptions for 1,401 yards and 11 touchdowns on a career-high 172 targets in 2025 despite the team’s overall disappointing results. Training camp reports highlighted his strong form and continued high-volume role, while new offensive coordinator Drew Petzing maintains much of the prior scheme’s timing and intermediate concepts that favor St. Brown’s route-running and yards-after-catch production. His red-zone usage and consistent target share near 28 percent position him for double-digit touchdowns again, though competition for scoring opportunities and questions around offensive line continuity could moderate his total. The Lions open against the Saints in Week 1 with a favorable early schedule for passing volume.
