Chiefs Beat: WR JuJu Smith-Schuster can expand his role

Oct 19, 2022

Playing with Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs this season, more of JuJu Smith-Schuster's routes have been run from an outside position rather than from the slot.

Fantasy Impact:

Playing with the Steelers, JuJu mostly played the slot, but the Chiefs felt that moving him around could expand his role and potential in the Chiefs offense. As the story said, he busted out with two catches of more than 40 yards -- one going for a touchdown -- and the Chiefs’ first 100-yard game of the season from a wide receiver this past week. Including a 53-yard catch earlier in the season, Smith-Schuster has delivered the Chiefs’ three longest plays of the season. His per-catch average of 13.7 yards is best among the Chiefs’ seven leading receivers.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 12

Cowboys list TE Jake Ferguson as out for Sunday’s game vs. Washington due to his concussion.

Related Players: Luke Schoonmaker

Fantasy Impact:

This puts Schoonmaker more or less in TE streaming consideration, but there are far better options this week, which puts him low on the totem pole.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith officially Out for Week 12

Eagles ruled out WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) for Sunday against the Rams.

Related Players: A.J. Brown, Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson, Dallas Goedert

Fantasy Impact:

It's a bit of a crapshoot as to who the "WR2" on the offense will be, but now that he's ruled out, Brown and Goedert should get a nice boost to their bottom line. That would lock Goedert into a no-doubt TE1 role in Week 12.
