PIT WR JuJu Smith-Schuster - 2019 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
JuJu Smith-Schuster emerged as a top fantasy wideout in 2018, catching 111 passes for 1,426 yards and seven scores. Still just 22 years old, he continues to improve seemingly with each game. He was top five in the league in targets in 2018 and with Antonio Brown now in Oakland, he should be right there again this season.

Fantasy Downside
How will Smith-Schuster react to being the focal point of opposing defenses? The Steelers will move him around a lot to free him up, but he figures to be doubled on almost every snap. Also, despite having 169 catches in his first two seasons, Smith-Schuster has scored just 14 touchdowns, seven in each season. That number needs to improve in 2019 if he's truly going to be a fantasy star.

2019 Bottom Line
The stars seem to be aligned for Smith-Schuster to have another big year. He'll be heavily targeted and should produce big numbers, including more touchdowns and be an unquestioned No. 1 fantasy receiver. Another 100-catch, 1,400-yard season seems to be reasonable to expect.

PIT WR JuJu Smith-Schuster - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Cincinnati Bengals

JuJu Smith-Schuster was largely unaffected by a groin injury suffered last week during practice and caught 11 passes for 115 yards. He did lose a key fumble at the end of the game against the Saints that cost the Steelers a chance to win it, so he'll be motivated to bounce back this week. Look for another big game against a Cincinnati defense against which he caught seven passes for 111 yards earlier this season.

PIT WR JuJu Smith-Schuster - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at New Orleans Saints

JuJu Smith-Schuster was held to four catches for 40 yards last week as the Steelers were more intent to pound away on the ground against the Patriots. That won't happen this week and no receiver in football has averaged more than the 121 yards per game Smith-Schuster has posted in away games this season. He's a solid WR1 play this week against a soft Saints pass defense.

PIT WR JuJu Smith-Schuster - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. New England Patriots

JuJu Smith-Schuster had eight receptions for 130 yards and a pair of scores last week. But for whatever reason, he's been better on the road than at home this season, averaging half as many yards. Expect that to shift this week. The Steelers have no running game and will have to throw regularly. Smith-Schuster should have no issues with New England's pass defense and should be a WR1 play this week.

PIT WR JuJu Smith-Schuster - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Oakland Raiders

JuJu Smith-Schuster had a "down" week and caught six passes for 49 yards last week. With the Raiders having allowed 29 touchdown passes this season -- a league-worst -- and James Conner out, the Steelers might be even more pass-happy than usual. Considering they're averaging 350 yards passing per game on the road, that could mean big things for Smith-Schuster. He should be a strong WR2 play with WR1 upside this week.

PIT WR JuJu Smith-Schuster - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Los Angeles Chargers

With the Broncos intent on not allowing Antonio Brown to go off, instead, it was JuJu Smith-Schuster who had a big day, catching 13 passes for 189 yards and a score last week. Smith-Schuster has been working more heavily outside in the past two weeks instead of in the slot and has responded well. He'll be a handful for the Chargers because of his size and strength and should be a high-end WR2 play with WR1 upside as evidenced last week.

PIT WR JuJu Smith-Schuster - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Denver Broncos

JuJu Smith-Schuster recorded eight catches for 104 yards last week working against Jacksonville's dynamic duo at cornerback. He should have plenty of success working against a banged-up Denver secondary that has scuffled of late. Despite scoring just one touchdown in his past five games, Smith-Schuster has been a top-20 wideout in all but one of those games. He's increasingly gained the trust of Ben Roethlisberger and should have yours, as well, as a WR2.
