Chiefs Beat: WR JuJu Smith-Schuster most impressive player at camp

Aug 17, 2022

After an injury-riddled 2021 NFL season with the Pittsburgh Steelers, JuJu Smith-Schuster is starting anew with Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. His consistency has made him the most impressive player at training camp, boasting an unprecedented level of chemistry with his new quarterback after working together for just a few short months.

Fantasy Impact:

Many are wondering how the loss of WR Tyreek Hill will impact the Chiefs offense this season, but it sounds like JuJu is stepping up. The story went on to say Smith-Schuster has also given a young secondary an extremely hard time, getting open practically on command whether it’s during one-on-one drills or team drills. On the plays when the coverage has been good, Smith-Schuster has used his size and physicality to muscle the ball away from defenders. While he'll have to battle TE Travis Kelce for targets, we have Smith-Schuster ranked highest among the KC WRs heading into drafts and consider him a WR3.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
