NFL Free Agent Predictions & Fantasy Football Outlook: JuJu Smith-Schuster
The 2023 wide receiver free agent class is… not quite as exciting. Any offseason cuts could obviously change things. But any NFL teams looking to make a significant upgrade at wideout will likely be disappointed by this year’s crop.
JuJu Smith-Schuster (WR – KC): WR29 in 2022
Smith-Schuster was one of my biggest disappointments in fantasy football this year. I expected Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid to maximize JuJu’s talents in a way that Ben Roethlisberger wasn’t in Pittsburgh, but it turns out Smith-Schuster simply isn’t that dynamic anymore.
A season with 78 catches, 933 yards and three touchdowns is nothing to sneeze at. However, Juju eclipsed double figures just six times in half-PPR formats so the ceiling was just never there.
The best-case scenario is Smith-Schuster returns to Kansas City but, if he departs, he likely won’t be anything more than a WR4.
