Wide Receiver: Juju Smith-Schuster $6,500

Taking a risk on Juju Smith-Schuster is a bold move here, but with Cook taking up so much salary, there are a few places where boom-or-bust plays are necessary. Smith-Schuster is coming off back-to-back 10-point performances, which is actually better than some of his other outputs this season.

Here’s the reason why Juju is still a good option for your lineup; the Dallas Cowboys secondary. Here are some of the performances from star receivers against the Cowboys recently:

McLaurin-7 receptions, 90 yards, 1 touchdown
Deandre Hopkins-2 receptions, 73 yards (Murray was awful this game)
Darius Slayton-8 receptions, 129 yards
Odell Beckham Jr.-5 rec., 81 yds., 2 TDs, 2 rushes, 73 yards, 1 more touchdown

The Cowboys cannot stop anyone, let alone a really good receiver. Smith-Schuster has been doing all of the little things right for the Steelers, so they will reward him when a team just cannot cover anyone. There could be four touchdowns to share between Juju and Chase Claypool.

Smith-Schuster could be considered due, or players could be looking at the matchup only. Either way, this is a smart play, especially for the price.

Other Options: Julio Jones $8,200, Justin Jefferson $6,800
