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.
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.
Week 11 at Jacksonville Jaguars
JuJu Smith-Schuster had just three catches last week, but one went for a 75-yard TD on the Steelers' first offensive play, as he totaled 90 yards and a touchdown. The matchup with Jacksonville was tough for Smith-Schuster last season as he had seven catches for 63 yards and a score in two meetings. But he's a better player this season and the Jaguars have issues in the slot, allowing four touchdowns to slot receivers this season - out of five TD catches total to receivers. Smith-Schuster should perform as a WR2 this week.
Week 10 vs. Carolina Panthers
JuJu Smith-Schuster caught a team-high seven passes for 78 yards last week, eating up Ravens' slot corner Tavon Young. He could have similar success working against Captain Munnerlyn this week, especially considering Tampa's Adam Humphries just had a field day against Munnerlyn, who is banged up. Smith Schuster has scored just twice this season, but he's getting plenty of red zone targets. He's a low-end No. 1/high-end WR2 play this week.
Week 9 at Baltimore Ravens
JuJu Smith-Schuster had just four catches for 33 yards last week as the Steelers took the air out of the ball in the second half of a rout. He's caught at least four passes in every game this season, including four for 60 yards earlier in 2018 against the Ravens. Smith-Schuster leads the Steelers with 15 red zone targets -- seven more than Antonio Brown -- so he's always a threat to score. He should be OK as a low-end WR2 with some upside this week.
Week 8 vs. Browns
JuJu Smith-Schuster found his 100-yard mojo going back into the break, ending a two-game streak in which he failed to reach that total after starting the season with three-straight games over the century mark. One of those came in Week 1 against Cleveland, when he had five catches for 119 yards. The Browns won't have an answer for Smith-Schuster in the slot. He should be a strong start as a low-end WR1 this week.
Week 6 at. Cincinnati Bengals
JuJu Smith-Schuster's pace has slowed the past two weeks as he's had just four catches in each of the past two games. But even though he had just 34 yards against the Falcons, he did score for the second time this season. Smith-Schuster had just six catches for 56 yards in two meetings with the Bengals last season but did score once. He's better now than he was then and should find more room to work in this game against a Cincinnati defense that has been tortured by the better receiving groups it has faced, including allowing 21 catches against Atlanta two weeks ago.
Week 5 vs. Atlanta Falcons
JuJu Smith-Schuster had his slowest game of the season, catching just four passes for 60 yards last week against the Ravens. But he figures to bounce back this week against Atlanta. In the past three weeks, the Falcons have given up 24 catches for 315 yards and two touchdowns to slot receivers, which is where Smith-Schuster does a healthy portion of his work.
Week 4 vs. Baltimore Ravens
JuJu Smith-Schuster posted his third consecutive 100-yard game last week with nine receptions for 116 yards. He leads the AFC with 27 receptions. Baltimore could have a tough time slowing him down. In three games, the Ravens have given up 17 catches for 181 yards and three touchdowns to wide receivers in the slot. There's no reason to think Smith-Schuster is going to slow down anytime soon.
Week 3 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
With Antonio Brown drawing double- and triple-teams, JuJu Smith-Schuster caught 13 passes for 121 yards and a touchdown last week against Kansas City. Tampa Bay is allowing opposing receivers to catch 73 percent of their targets. Smith-Schuster is among the league leaders in targets. He should be primed for another big week and is a borderline WR1.
