Fantasy Football, Week 11: Best lineup with start/sit advice
By Dylan Broady
JuJu Smith-Schuster, Pittsburgh Steelers
Stats: 762 receiving yards, 3 touchdowns
The Jacksonville Jaguars defense has been putrid this season. Their rankings don’t come close to the output on the field. The Indianapolis Colts had they’re way with the Jaguars all afternoon. The Steelers boast a better offense and better playmakers. Don’t count them out as this is a big revenge game for the Steelers after losing in the 2017 playoffs to Jacksonville. This game will be personal.
With all the spotlight and Jalen Ramsey being on Antonio Brown it frees up the very dangerous Smith-Schuster. We all have seen what he can do for this offense. Especially when the popular Brown is covered all game long by the defenses best players. Smith-Schuster will get open early and often in this one. He has been everything and more as a complimentary receiving option for Antonio Brown.
This season, Smith-Schuster has averaged six receptions and 84 receiving yards per game. His volume and floor make him a great play each week, especially in tough contests such as the Jaguars. Whatever the outcome, Smith-Schuster will be involved and a very reliable fantasy option. Watch for the Steelers to play him a lot in the slot come Sunday.
Smith-Schuster is ranked the No.1 overall receiver when lined up in the slot this season. Averaging 68.5 receiving yards. His 62 targets and 42 receptions in the slot have been very kind to him. He has 548 receiving yards and two scores so far in the slot this season.
Prediction: 85 receiving yards, 2 touchdowns
