Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Makes five catches in Week 13
Rotowire
St. Brown (knee) caught five of seven targets for 73 yards in Thursday's 23-20 win over the Bears.
St. Brown was listed as questionable due to a knee injury coming in, but he was his usual effective self, leading the Lions in receiving yards while tying Jameson Williams for the team leads in targets and catches. St. Brown has gone back-to-back games without getting into the end zone following an eight-game touchdown streak. That stretch included a Week 9 performance against the Packers in which St. Brown caught all seven of his targets for 56 yards and a score. Detroit will face Green Bay again on Thursday Night Football in Week 14.

Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Suiting up on Thanksgiving
Rotowire
St. Brown (knee) is listed as active Thursday against the Bears.
Working on a short week, the Lions held three straight walkthroughs ahead of Thursday's game, and a knee injury contained St. Brown to no activity Monday, limited participation Tuesday and a full session Wednesday. On Tuesday, the wideout relayed to Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com that he planned to be available for Week 13 action, which now has been confirmed. St. Brown thus will remain the featured option in Detroit's passing game versus a Chicago defense that has allowed the fourth-most YPT (8.99) to opposing wide receivers this season.
Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Questionable after full practice
Rotowire
St. Brown (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Bears.
St. Brown and running back David Montgomery (shoulder) were both full participants in Wednesday's walk-through practice, following absences Monday and limited participation Tuesday. The Lions also held walkthroughs Monday and Tuesday, but St. Brown nonetheless seems to be on the right track after he said Tuesday that he would be ready to play on Thanksgiving Day. Detroit's inactive list will be released around 11:00 a.m. ET, 90 minutes before the 12:30 kickoff.
Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Limited, but plans to play Thursday
Rotowire
St. Brown (knee) was a limited participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice.
Following Sunday's 24-6 win over the Colts, the Lions have held a pair of walk-through sessions to begin Week 13 prep. After being listed as a non-participant Monday, St. Brown took a step forward in his estimated activity Tuesday, which bodes well for his chances of suiting up Thursday against the Bears. For his part, St. Brown told Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com that he's planning on being ready to go for the Thanksgiving Day game.
St. Brown was listed as a non-participant at Monday's walkthrough due to a knee injury, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
The knee injury is a new concern for the Lions' star wideout, who last made an appearance on Detroit's injury report in September with a quadricep issue. St. Brown played his normal amount of snaps (94 percent) in this past Sunday's win over the Colts, so it's unclear if he came down with the injury during the contest or if it's anything to be concerned about. The Lions have a Thanksgiving Day matchup with the Bears, and the quick turnaround makes his status worth monitoring over the next couple of days. Along with St. Brown, Kalif Raymond (foot) also was listed as a non-participant Monday. If neither receiver is able to go Thursday, Jameson Williams, Tim Patrick and Allen Robinson would be in line to serve as the Lions' primary wideouts.
Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Modest production in easy win
Rotowire
St. Brown corralled six of seven targets for 62 yards in Sunday's 24-6 win over Indianapolis.
St. Brown led his team in receptions while tying Jameson Williams for the lead in targets Sunday. The former was unable to push his impressive scoring streak past eight weeks, but he still produced decent fantasy totals for managers in PPR formats. St. Brown has accrued a 71-747-9 receiving line through 11 contests, making him one of the premier wideouts in the NFL ahead of a Thanksgiving Day matchup against the Bears.
