JuJu Smith-Schuster Wants To Be More Of A Deep Threat
5 years agoPittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, who ranked among the NFL leaders in receptions and yards in 2018, is now the team's top target with Antonio Brown gone, and he wants to evolve to become more of a dangerous deep threat. “Being able to catch the deep balls down the field, those go balls, those free balls that they send down the field where I’ve got to go make those plays,” Smith-Schuster said. “That’s what I’ve focused on a lot, catching the ball over the shoulder and being able to be a threat on the outside.” He led the team with 111 catches for 1,426 yards and five catches of 40 yards or longer, ranking in the top six in the NFL in all three categories. The big question is whether Smith-Schuster will be as productive without Brown in the fold, but most fantasy owners think he will, as he's going on average early in the second round of drafts.
