Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster was banged-up in the AFC Championship win over the Cincinnati Bengals and although the team had a bye week, he could still be banged-up for Sunday's contest or miss the game altogether.
Smith-Schuster finished only behind Travis Kelce in targets (101), receptions (78), and yards (933) among Chiefs' pass-catchers, but his production has been down over the past month-plus. That said, he'll inevitably be a bargain DFS consideration if active on Super Bowl Sunday.
Will Smith-Schuster be ready to go for the championship game against the Philadelphia Eagles? Let's take a look.

JuJu Smith-Schuster Injury Update for Fantasy Football
Smith-Schuster (knee) was a full participant in practice all week and carries no injury designation into Super Bowl LVII.
Kadarius Toney is also set to be active, so both with be factors on Sunday.
JuJu Smith-Schuster Super Bowl Fantasy Outlook
While Smith-Schuster is in the midst of a slump, he's still worth considering in DFS tournaments should he play next week. In his last full game in the AFC Divisional Round, Smith-Schuster ran a route on 87 percent of the Chiefs' passing plays. The next-closest wide receiver was Marquez Valdes-Scantling, who ran routes on 67 percent of passing plays.
Ultimately, Smith-Schuster likely would've posted 1,000 yards had he not suffered a concussion that caused him to miss a game and a half and has by far the best resume of any Chiefs' wide receiver. He had 282 slot snaps during the regular season (22nd-most), which is the one pass-catching position the Eagles allowed some production from.
With big names like Patrick Mahomes, Jalen Hurts, A.J. Brown, and Travis Kelce on the slate, DFSers will be forced to play riskier and less expensive players. JuJu could be the right guy to play in Super Bowl 57. It's worth noting if Toney is limited at all, Smith-Schuster could see more targets.
