Amon-Ra St. Brown Still Hopes To Play In Week 5

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (abdomen) hasn't practiced yet this week due to an abdominal injury, but he's still hoping to play in Week 5 against the Carolina Panthers. "That's my goal," St. Brown said. The 23-year-old has at least been working on the side with trainers during practices, but fantasy managers would feel a lot better about his status this weekend if he can return to practice in some fashion on Friday. If St. Brown ends up being active this weekend against the Panthers, he should remain locked into starting fantasy lineups. If St. Brown is inactive or limited at all on Sunday, quarterback Jared Goff's fantasy upside would take a hit. Receivers Josh Reynolds, Kalif Raymond, Marvin Jones Jr. and Jameson Williams and rookie tight end Sam LaPorta would also be leaned on more by Goff in the passing game.
