JuJu Smith-Schuster Injury Update
JuJu Smith-Schuster Fantasy Football Outlook
When Smith-Schuster returns from his hamstring injury, he should be considered a bench option for fantasy teams, with limited upside as a WR4.
The Chiefs’ recent acquisition of DeAndre Hopkins is expected to cut into Smith-Schuster’s opportunities, reducing him from the high-volume role he showcased in Week 5 when he tallied seven catches for 130 yards.
With Hopkins likely commanding a large share of targets and Travis Kelce remaining a primary option in Kansas City’s passing game, Smith-Schuster’s fantasy value will be capped.
As a result, he should be viewed as a depth piece rather than a reliable starter, with his production likely to be inconsistent for the remainder of the season.
