Jacob Wayne Lineups | The Pittsburgh offense was often hard to watch last season and it's resulted in JuJu becoming a massive value in drafts. The Steelers are moving him back to the slot this year, a spot he dominates at, and he should be in for a massive Week 1 against a Giants' defense that allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to WRs last year. The only thing that could hold JuJu back from being a WR1 this week is the game script, but I expect the Giants to hang in it at least enough for Big Ben to need to pass the ball a decent amount. JuJu should be treated as a solid WR2 with WR1 upside this week. | |
Isaiah Sirois FantasyPros | Smith-Schuster finally has a real quarterback again! Although it doesn't sound like he has a lot of time left in Pittsburgh, he's still the receiver that Ben Roethlisberger has the best chemistry with heading into Week 1. The Steelers draw the Giants' unimpressive secondary this week (their signing of James Bradberry in the offseason won't help -- he isn't an upgrade for them), and I expect big things out of the former second-round pick. JuJu is a good bet for a WR2 performance on Monday night. | |
Mike Tagliere FantasyPros | It was a down year for the now-23-year-old in 2019 as he battled through injuries and incompetent quarterback play. All that changes in 2020 as he's healthy and has Ben Roethlisberger under center. Not just that, either. They're moving him back to the slot almost full time, which will help his efficiency. The Giants secondary might be the worst in the league, even though they did acquire James Bradberry as a free agent. Outside of him, their cornerback depth chart goes Corey Ballentine, Brandon Williams, Darnay Holmes, and Isaac Yiadom. They recently added Logan Ryan, who can cover the slot, but might be listed at safety due to the recent injury to Xavier McKinney. Even if he were to come down into the slot, it's not as if it's a matchup you'd avoid. Ryan allowed 69-of-97 passing last year for 766 yards and five touchdowns in his coverage. He was the slot cornerback who was most targeted in the NFL with the closest seeing 85 targets. It's Roethlisberger's first game back, so we have to be a little cautious, but the matchup is too good to pass up playing Smith-Schuster as at least a WR2 with true WR1 upside. | |
Derek Lofland FantasyPros | The Giants were just 28th against fantasy wide receivers last year, Smith-Schuster should have a great matchup to open the season. |
