JuJu Smith-Schuster Week 11 Outlook - Patriots at Texans

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Thu, Nov 19th 2020, 8:23am EST

Suddenly, Smith-Schuster is the No. 19 wide receiver in fantasy football. He's totaled a massive 42 targets over the last four weeks, which ranks fourth behind only Davante Adams, Keenan Allen, and Stefon Diggs, players who are viewed as every-week WR1s. Now on to play the Jaguars who've allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to wide receivers. They have Tre Herndon covering the slot, where he's allowed 10-of-16 passing for 119 yards and a touchdown since taking over for D.J. Hayden, who still hasn't returned off the IR. Even if Hayden does return, it wouldn't be a bad thing for Smith-Schuster, as Hayden has allowed a ridiculous 83.3 percent completion-rate and 11.7 yards per target. We talked about Keenan Allen earlier. Just four weeks ago, he totaled 10/125/0 against this defense. You have to play all the Steelers wide receviers right now and deal with the ups and downs, as it's unlikely they all deliver top-30 value every week, but in this matchup, it's possible. Just like Johnson and Claypool, Smith-Schuster is in the WR2 conversation.
