St. Brown is sixth in the league with 46 catches and has hauled in at least eight passes in four of Detroit's first six games. He had nine receptions for a season-high 153 yards in the Lions' 20-17 triumph over the Green Bay Packers last week.
In 10 career meetings with the Vikings, St. Brown has finished with seven or more catches seven times. He's had at least seven in five of his last six contests against Minnesota.
But the Vikings have been stellar defending the pass this season as they rank second in the NFL with an average of 155 yards allowed through the air. What's more, they have yet to have an opposing player make more than six catches in a game, and no one has had more than five since the season opener against Green Bay.
Last week, Minnesota limited Indianapolis to 13 catches for 108 yards in its 16-10 victory. Keenan Allen led the Colts with only three receptions, and top sportsbooks have set Sunday's receptions prop for St. Brown at 7.5.
