Has Amon-Ra St. Brown done enough to cement himself as a top 10 receiver? (alien.top)

Amon-Ra had another game of 100+ yards last night, and I was checking his stats and he holds up pretty well against the top receivers in the league, despite missing a game.

T-6th in receptions
12th in catch rate among WR despite being 6th in targets
6th in receiving yards
10th in success rate among WR
5th in yards per game
83.6 PFF grade (his PFF grade in 2022 was 90.7, 2nd in the league as well)

He just passed Calvin Johnson for most receiving yards through 40 career games in Lions history. Goff looks to him all the time on crucial third downs and he comes through, often in traffic, the significant majority of the time. Great downfield blocker as well. I am biased, but I think he’s a top 10 WR. Am I wrong?

Underestimated guy but he's so good.

Hey this isn't a Jimmy G lowlight post

There are so many good receivers that the top 10 needs to be truly elite. He's a fantastic player but I always view WR top 5 and top 10 as having "legacy" type spots. For example Adams while not having a productive year by stats is still playing well.

There are just so many good receivers, but at worst he's like 12-13

According to PFF he was 2nd in the league last year.

There's probably a dozen top 10 receivers. Definitely in that 2nd tier below guys like hill, Jefferson, and brown.

[–] yrulaughing@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I mean, top 10 seems right for a player like Amon-Ra

[–] TomBradyFanCEO@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

He's a tier 2 WR but yeah you can easily make an argument he's top 10

[–] Public_Confidence247@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

With those stats he’s missed a game and for another had the flu and in that game had a 108 yards, imagine if he was healthy against the raiders

Depends, are we talking top 10 for the season or for active receivers in their career?

Because guys are like Hopkins and Julio are still out there getting TDs
