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.
