Fantasy Upside
With Martavis Bryant gone, JuJu Smith-Schuster moves into an unquestioned No. 2 role in the Steelers passing game this season. He's coming off a strong rookie season that ended with 58 catches for 917 yards and seven scores (on 80 targets). He should go over 100 targets this season, so a 1,000-yard season is certainly in the offing.
Fantasy Downside
Antonio Brown and LeVeon Bell are going to get 150+ and 100 targets, respectively, as well, so Smith-Schuster's ceiling is limited.
2018 Bottom Line
While his ceiling is limited, his floor is high in this offense. Brown and Bell are going to get plenty of attention and that means a lot of one-on-one matchups for the second-year receiver. He also did his damage last season after getting just eight targets in the first four games. In the second half of the season, he averaged eight targets and 98 yards receiving. There are going to be some slow games, to be sure. But he's a very solid WR3 with WR2 upside thanks to his ability to score. His current ADP has him going in rounds four or five, which might be a little high for my taste on a player with limited upside, but again, the floor also is high.
