JuJu Smith-Schuster 2020 Outlook
Smith-Schuster might never hit the same heights as the guy he replaced as Pittsburgh's No. 1 receiver in 2019. Then again, Antonio Brown set the bar extremely high in his prime, so it's probably not fair to hold that against Smith-Schuster. And there are still reasons to believe Smith-Schuster will look more like the player who caught 111 passes for 1,426 yards and seven touchdowns playing opposite Brown in 2018 than the player who finished last season with the meager numbers you see above. First and foremost is quarterback Ben Roethlisberger's return under center. That might seem obvious, but for a true understanding of just how dramatically Pittsburgh missed the quarterback last season, consider that the Steelers recorded 1,960 fewer passing yards in 2019 with Mason Rudolph and Duck Hodges trying to fill Big Ben's shoes. Secondly, the rest of the supporting cast around Smith-Schuster should be better, with fellow receiver Diontae Johnson set to make strides in his second pro season and Eric Ebron coming aboard at tight end. Finally, there's the incentive of playing the final season of his rookie contract; Smith-Schuster will have every reason to put himself in the best possible position with the potential to enter free agency at the young age of 24.

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.
