Smith-Schuster didn't play in the preseason opener last week but was out there for the first three drives on Saturday evening. Coming off a breakout year, the third-year wide receiver should improve even more with Antonio Brown no longer on the team. He's a no-brainer WR1 in all fantasy formats.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster caught 5-of-9 targets for 37 yards and a touchdown in his team's 16-13 win over the Bengals in Week 17.

Smith-Schuster's 11-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter was Pittsburgh's only touchdown in the game. He finishes his sophomore campaign with 111 catches, 1,426 yards, and seven touchdowns. He will be a rock-solid WR1 in fantasy in 2019.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster caught 11 passes for 115 yards in a 31-28 loss to the Saints in Week 16. His costly fumble with 41 seconds left in the game prevented the Steelers from attempting a game-tying field goal.

Smith-Schuster was stripped while fighting for extra yardage after a seven-yard catch. It takes some shine off of what was an otherwise excellent outing for the second-year wideout. He will be a WR1 for his Week 17 matchup against the Bengals.

In a tweet to his fantasy owners on Saturday, JuJu Smith-Schuster said that he will be playing on Sunday against the Saints.

It is refreshing not only that Smith-Schuster spoke directly to his fantasy owners, but also that he gave everyone advanced notice of his intention to play in an afternoon game on Sunday. Nothing is official until the inactives come out, but for those relying on Smith-Schuster in their championship week, it seems like they will have him ready to go.

JuJu Smith-Schuster was a non-participant in Friday's practice due to his groin injury and he is questionable to play Week 16 against the Saints.

Fantasy Impact

Smith-Schuster suffered the injury Thursday and it's certainly a concern ahead of the team's showdown in New Orleans. If he were to miss time, the largest beneficiary would likely be Antonio Brown, though James Washington, Vance McDonald, Ryan Switzer, and Jaylen Samuels could all see a few additional targets as a result of his absence.
