BALLER MOVE: Start in 12-Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3
ANALYSIS: Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster hopes to continue to emerge as the top wideout in the passing attack and should be started in all standard formats.
In Week 5, the 27-year-old became a central part of the offense with Rashee Rice (knee) sidelined. In this game, Smith-Schuster saw eight targets and brought in seven of them for 130 yards. His targets were only second to tight end Travis Kelce.
#Chiefs HC Andy Reid on JuJu Smith-Schuster:
“Pat [Mahomes] has trust in him. We as coaches have trust in him and we’ve tried to put him in good positions for his strengths and try to utilize those… The guy opposite [Travis] Kelce ends up being very important” pic.twitter.com/CNCQMeQBLd

Smith-Schuster could continue to see a hefty dose of targets on a weekly basis due to the several injuries on the Kansas City offense.
This weekend, he faces a tough San Francisco defense who have allowed the 12th-fewest points to opposing wideouts in PPR scoring. However, given the volume he saw in his previous game, he remains a high-floor WR3 this weekend.
