JuJu Smith-Schuster 2022 Player Outlook: Bounce Back In Kansas City
2 years agoThe Kansas City Chiefs signed JuJu Smith-Schuster to a one-year deal this offseason. He is looking to turn around his career after spending a large chunk of his 2021 season on injured reserve. He was limited to five games last year after undergoing shoulder surgery in mid-October. Smith-Schuster could not find the end zone and caught 15-of-28 targets for 129 receiving yards in 2021. The former WR8 from 2018 will be looking to rejuvenate his career with Patrick Mahomes and the explosive Chiefs offense. Tyreek Hill is now with the Miami Dolphins, and his 158 targets are left to be dispersed among the Chiefs' wide receiver corps. If Smith-Schuster can develop a rapport with Mahomes and play to his potential, we could see him build back better in 2022. Fantasy gamers should look at him as a speculative asset with a lot of upside. He is being selected with a 77.5 averaged draft position, making him a mid-round option in fantasy drafts. This might be the area of your draft when you want to swing for the fences on Smith-Schuster. When drafting him, fantasy managers must remind themselves of the potential outcomes. There's a chance he could be a league winner for many of our fantasy teams. He could develop into a massive disappointment for many fantasy gamers as well.
