Amon-Ra St. Brown, WR, Lions (+650) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Lions are in full desperation mode. Their status as the -7 favorites against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the NFL odds for Week 16 alongside the game total of 52 indicates there should be plenty of scoring from Detroit, and no doubt early on, too.

Amon-Ra St. Brown will be featured heavily in any high-scoring affair, and especially against a pass funnel Steelers secondary. Pittsburgh ranks 27th against the pass (242.4 yards per game), and St. Brown is tied for second in red-zone targets with 26, where he's posted a sky-high 69.3% catch rate.
