JuJu Smith-Schuster 2019 Outlook
With Antonio Brown traded to Oakland, the Steelers will lean on Smith-Schuster, their receiving leader in 2018, to once again serve as their top downfield weapon. They'll also be looking for second-year man James Washington to step up as the No. 2 and some additional support from free-agent addition Donte Moncrief. But fantasy owners should set expectations high for Smith-Schuster, who ranked seventh in the NFL in receptions (111) and receiving yards (1,426) on his way to a Steelers MVP award as voted on by teammates. But the talented youngster did most of his work out of the slot. In fact, Smith-Schuster ranked third in combined first downs and touchdowns (37), fifth in yards per route run (1.93) and first in total yards after the catch (384) from a slot alignment in 2018. So, heading into the new season we'll need to see him transition to the outside and prove he can handle the coverage that goes with being a true NFL WR1. But as ESPN.com noted, from 2013 to '18, Brown averaged 11.1 targets per game for Pittsburgh. In Smith-Schuster's six games with 11 or more targets, he has 115-plus yards in five of them and is averaging 25.5 fantasy points per game. That potential, coupled with Ben Roethlisberger as willing as any trigger man you'll find, will make Smith-Schuster a pricey addition to your team. Expect solid return on investment.

JuJu Smith-Schuster 2018 Outlook
According to FantasyPros, there were only three wide receivers who finished inside the top-24 in fantasy scoring last season with fewer than 100 targets: Stefon Diggs, Nelson Agholor and Smith-Schuster. Now, as ESPN.com recently suggested, Smith-Schuster is well-positioned for at least 100 targets and 1,000 yards. The Steelers are betting big on Smith-Schuster offsetting the loss of Martavis Bryant (who was traded to the Raiders this offseason), and the statistics bear that out. The Steelers' passing game averaged a 134.0 rating when targeting Smith-Schuster last season, according to Pro Football Focus. Smith-Schuster has shown a flair for the big play and the ability to make tough catches through traffic with physicality. The next step is consistently winning on the outside against elite corners. And Smith-Schuster is working on it, telling ESPN's Jeremy Fowler he's studied every nuance of the offense. "Being faster, more of a quarterback perspective," he said. "Just being able to play all across the field, inside-outside, even the running-back spots, so I can understand it." He had better understand it because Smith-Schuster is going to be a big part of it. Draft accordingly.

JuJu Smith-Schuster 2017 Outlook
During rookie mini-camp, Smith-Schuster said one of the things he was most excited about was meeting All-Pro Antonio Brown, a player he called the best wide receiver in the league. Indeed, once OTAs began in late May, Smith-Schuster was able to study the habits of not only Brown but the other experienced players. "I learned a lot these past two weeks just being here," Smith-Schuster said. "Whatever they do, I always ask questions and learn and see if I can take it in my interest." Of course, the rookie knows a little something already. Smith-Schuster scored 10 receiving touchdowns in each of the last two seasons. After reeling in 89 catches for 1,454 yards in 2015, he dropped off a bit last season with 70 catches for 914. Now a professional, he'll battle those same veterans for playing time. The Steelers will likely keep six receivers on their 53-man roster, and as a second-round pick, Smith-Schuster figures to be one of them. But with Brown, Martavis Bryant, who is back from suspension, Eli Rogers, Darrius Heyward-Bey, a healthy Sammie Coates and free-agent addition Justin Hunter, Smith-Schuster isn't necessarily guaranteed meaningful reps.
