JuJu Smith-Schuster Fantasy Football Outlook (2018)

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Tue, Aug 14th 2018, 10:06am EDT

Fun fact: Smith-Schuster ranked 55th among wide receivers in targets per game. His 5.6 targets per game ranked behind guys like Kendall Wright and Danny Amendola. His 11.6 yards per target was the best among wide receivers with at least 25 targets, and in fact, it was the best in the last five years. He's going to regress there and the offense didn't change drastically from last year to this year, so seeing his targets make a huge jump is unlikely. We've seen the upside he presents, but that was his absolute ceiling given the opportunities he's capped at. You can't draft a wide receiver who ranked 55th in targets per game in the top-four rounds of your fantasy draft, you just can't. His highlight touchdown catch in the first preseason game is likely to bump him into the top four rounds, making him overvalued.
