Let's talk... JuJu Smith-Schuster

[grooner]

I think he is top 15, and depending on where your team is currently may be top 10. If you are rebuidling I would take him over Julio/ajg. I would obviously try to get more if I was doing this trade though as I imagine most have green and Julio over him.

[Rosenbluu]

Idk but I sold JuJu/1st/Cousins for Nuk and I’m happy with it

[Titans95]

I think its early as well but if he continues to receive the target share he has throughout the season I find it hard to believe he won't be a WR1 this season. as a 21 year old thats a WR seems like a good reason why he'd be a top 10 WR dynasty asset this offseason if that happens. Maybe its because Bell isn't playing or maybe Juju is just this good. Time will tell. I think its too late to buy into him and owners need to hold as his value should only go up

[Jigga94]

Top 20 no doubt. We will see if he can sustain it

[mullmania]

He's in such a great spot right now. Big time passing offense. Elite talent on the other side of the field to take some coverage away.

Pass catching RB out so more targets funneling his way.


He's great but he reminds me a touch of Shepard in that he benefits from those around him and that Ben and/or Brown leaving could change his value.

Is he a true #1 type option on his own? I'm not sure but hes really really good.

I guess what I'm saying is that as a great a player as he is...I think he's so great in fantasy because of playing in Pitt with those weapons

Agree with everything here, but Shepard has never produced like JuJu has been

[C_n_red_again]

Juju put up wr1 numbers last year when Antonio Brown was out so the argument that he can’t produce without ab is not valid. In dynasty I’d say he is a fringe top ten wr. No one has been this productive at this age.

[mullmania]

No doubt. The #2 WR on the Giants has never really produced like the #2 WR on Pitt though

Ben has produced like overall WR 1 and RB 1 results for his players. Pitt is a fantasy bonza typically. Eli is a much different apple

Situation isn't everything but it's huge. My basic point with all of this. JuJu and Shepard switch teams right now.

Which one's fantasy ceiling is higher for the rest of the year?

I'd argue Shepard on Pitt vs JuJu on the Giants.


That was my only point. Don't want to overstate it. JuJu is great

[ArrylT]

Juju was basically WR 22-24 on 80 targets (for 16 games) last year and had 191 points in PPR.

Assuming 8 targets a game is his average - thats still 130 targets.

WR 10 in 2016 was approx 250 points.

Theoretically it is possible if he can maintain a 130 target pace, and maintain his efficiency that he'll be a top 10 WR. Whether or not that will happen, I do not know - but I do think it is possible.

[Jigga94]

I like the idea of them swapping teams and seeing the results. I think everyone would say JuJu would be worse off and Shepard would be better. I just wonder how close they would be to matching each other's production

[ArrylT]

Also for Week VIII and onward, and excluding the 2 games he missed (one was suspension I recall) Juju saw an average of approx 7.5 targets a game (versus 4.33 for his first 6 games), so 8 target a game average is basically what he was already getting last year.

[mullmania]

I feel better about saying JuJu will produce a top 10 WR season this year than he is a long term top 10 WR.

[Friction]

I felt comfortable starting him over Cook both weeks in one league and Fournette week 1. Hindsight and Cook coming off an injury somewhat makes those decisions look great now, but i felt pretty confident going against the "ranks". Now Top 10 is a little aggressive when you factor in his own team and more importantly what is ahead of him. But with Julio, AJ, Brown all getting a little on the old side in 2-3 years, that is an easier debate to have.
