NFL Week 10 features another international game, with the Patriots (5-4) vs. Lions (6-2) colliding in Munich, Germany’s FC Bayern Munich Stadium, on Sunday, November 15, at 9:30 a.m. ET on FOX.
According to PrizePicks, the Lions are 2.5-point favorites for the spread, but a key player is questionable for Sunday’s game. Similar to last week, Detroit WR Amon-Ra St. Brown is labeled as questionable due to a rib injury.
St. Brown remains the Lions’ clear top target with 657 receiving yards and 61 receptions. Will Amon-Ra, who carries German roots, play in Munich? Here’s the latest Amon-Ra St. Brown injury update and the potential impact on picks for PrizePicks.

Amon-Ra St. Brown Injury Update: Will St. Brown Play vs. Patriots in Munich Game?
St. Brown was questionable following three limited practices last week, but that didn’t stop him from suiting up and providing 8 receptions for 86 receiving yards vs. the Dolphins. The Lions’ WR1 was a limited participant at practice leading up to Week 10 yet again, per the Lions’ injury report.
Considering last week’s result, St. Brown may end up being active despite the questionable status. Plus, signs are pointing to St. Brown preparing for this game, from planning a German-themed TD celebration to opening his presser in German. He could have extra motivation to be active in this one.
Since making his NFL debut in 2021, St. Brown has played in at least 17 regular-season games in four of five years. Further, he’s played in every game in his last two campaigns and hasn’t missed a contest since Week 5 of the 2023 season. That’s 50 consecutive appearances, including four playoff games.
St. Brown has been ruled out twice across his six-season career, providing further confidence for his chance to be active in Munich.

Lions Fantasy Football Outlook If St. Brown Is Active
According to FTN, St. Brown leads the Lions with a whopping 32.0% target share, a 31.0% target rate per route run, and a 35.1% air yards share. His average depth of target (aDOT) sits at only 8.4 yards, but he makes up for that thanks to 18 red zone targets (third) and a 33.3% red zone target share (fifth), per PlayerProfiler.
That kind of workload produces one of fantasy football’s best wideouts, as St. Brown enters Sunday as WR8 for PPR leagues, including 15.9 fantasy points per game (WR7), via FantasyPros. If he’s absent, fantasy managers would be missing out on the Patriots yielding 32.0 FPPG to WRs (second most), per Pro Football Reference.
Considering St. Brown’s consistent availability, we have no recent example of what this passing game looks like without its WR1. Lions WR Jameson Williams grabs attention due to his 34.2% air yards share that’s narrowly behind Amon-Ra, and that’s courtesy of a juicy 15.3 aDOT.
Furthermore, New England surrenders a 16.6% explosive rate vs. the pass (fifth highest), potentially leading to a big day for Williams’ 16.7 yards per reception. Williams has hit his stride by recording 68.2 receiving yards per game over his previous five outings.
According to PrizePicks, Williams is projected for 56.5 receiving yards vs. the Patriots. Plus, here are a few of St. Brown’s stat projections for today:
- 81.5 Receiving Yards
- 7 Receptions
- 10 Receiving Targets
- 0.5 Anytime TDS
- 18.5 Fantasy Score
The Lions’ offense as a whole should be a targeted for PrizePicks, with Detroit averaging 27.8 PPG (fifth). The Patriots, meanwhile, have given up at least 30 points in two of their last three.
New England was just shredded for 45 points, 478 total yards, 349 passing yards, and 10.9 yards per passing attempt in last week’s loss vs. the Packers. Since Week 7, the Pats have conceded a 53.0% dropback success rate (25th), via RBSDM.
