JuJu Smith-Schuster is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for wide receivers. Target him as a free agent add off waivers for Week 6 of the 2024 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 35% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster had an excellent outing in Week 5 and should be added in all 12-team PPR formats.
With top wideout Rashee Rice (knee) undergoing surgery to repair his LCL, Smith-Schuster has a path to emerge as one of the top pass-catchers in the Kansas City air attack.

After catching just two passes through the first four weeks, the 27-year-old had a great performance in Week 5 as he caught eight of his seven targets for 150 yards. Schuster's 53 total snaps were the second-highest at the position, and his targets were the second-most on the team, behind only tight end Travis Kelce.
Fantasy managers looking to add a receiver who has the potential to see a high volume of targets on a weekly basis should target Smith-Schuster this week.

Every fantasy manager on the planet absolutely loves the tight end position. Well, not really. It would be nice if teams would throw to their tight ends more, but that might not happen any time soon.

Still, having one of the better […]
