JuJu Smith-Schuster

It's been a frustrating season for Smith-Schuster who was not only thrown into a new No. 1 role, but was also subjected to Mason Rudolph as his starting quarterback. He's now finished outside the top-45 wide receivers in four of the last six games. The worst part is his lack of elite targets, as he's yet to reach double-digits. The Browns have T.J. Carrie defending the slot with both Denzel Ward and Greedy Williams back, and that's who Smith-Schuster will see on 65 percent of his routes (provided Eric Murray remains out). Carrie has only faced nine targets in the slot this season while in relief of Murray, allowing seven receptions for 57 yards, with 48 of them coming after the catch. All-in-all, the Browns have allowed six wide receivers to total 14-plus fantasy points and finish as top-24 options; three of them have been slot-heavy receivers. If you drafted Smith-Schuster, you're left playing him as a WR3 and just hoping for things to work out. Fortunately, he has the best matchup on the field this week.

JuJu Smith-Schuster goes for 44 yards

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster caught 3-of-6 targets for 44 yards in a 17-12 win over the Rams in Week 10.

Fantasy Impact

Another slow day at the office for Smith-Schuster. The third-year wideout has suffered in the low-volume pass offense that the team has run without Ben Roethlisberger. Smith-Schuster will be a WR3 in Week 11 against the Browns.
