JuJu Smith-Schuster, Pittsburgh Steelers, $7,500

Stats: 866 receiving yards, 3 touchdowns 

JuJu on that beat! Wow what a complimentary job JuJu has done opposite Antonio Brown this season. Smith-Schuster ranks in the top 10 among wide receivers in receptions, receiving yards and targets. He has been a very high floor and matchup safe fantasy play all season long. His 104 receiving yards against the Jacksonville Jaguars in their comeback win was the fifth time this season Smith-Schuster has reached that milestone.

JuJu has been a game changer all year long for this high powered Steelers offense who averages 410 yards per game. Smith-Schuster has placed himself in the top 10 with six receptions and 87 receiving yards per game. His high floor in this high-flying offense makes him a must-play against a Denver Broncos defense that is a shell of its former self. JuJu will waste no time getting his team on the board at Mile High.

Speaking of that Denver defense, it has allowed 375 yards, 128 rushing yards, 247 passing yards and 23 points per game this season. Denver is 18th-ranked against the pass, 27th-ranked against the rush and 22nd-ranked overall. This is going to be another game where the Steelers will look to make a statement win on the road. Proving the hype from last weeks win is real. JuJu will be a big part of that gameplan.

Prediction: 100 receiving yards, 1 touchdown
