JuJu Smith-Schuster NEWS
JuJu Smith-Schuster Returns To Practice Thursday
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (illness) returned to practice on Thursday after he missed Wednesday's session with an illness. Smith-Schuster should be just fine to suit up in Sunday's rematch of last year's AFC Championship game against the Cincinnati Bengals. The 26-year-old should be a fine target as a WR3/flex for fantasy managers, although he's disappointed in his last two games with only five receptions on seven targets for 71 scoreless yards. Cincy's defense has been more stingy against opposing receivers in the last three weeks, only allowing 22.3 half-PPR points to the position. If Smith-Schuster plays more than the 38 percent of the snaps he's seen in each of the last two weeks, he should have a fine game for fantasy managers.
Dec 1, 2022 • 7:21 PM | RotoBallerJuju Smith-Schuster, Kadarius Toney Sidelined On Wednesday
Kansas City Chiefs wide receivers JuJu Smith-Schuster (illness) and Kadarius Toney (hamstring) were absent from the team's practice on Wednesday. Smith-Schuster was able to play in Week 12 and should have plenty of time to get healthy for Sunday, but Toney's status is more of a mystery. Head coach Andy Reid labeled Toney as day-to-day, but the second-year wideout has dealt with hamstring issues all season and could be in danger of missing a second straight contest. Fantasy managers should keep a close eye on the status of both players heading into what could be a high-scoring duel with the Cincinnati Bengals.
Dec 1, 2022 • 12:04 AM | RotoBallerJuJu Smith-Schuster Will Face The Rams
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) will play against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 12. Smith-Schuster missed the game last week against the Los Angeles Chargers with a concussion but appears to be ready to go. The Rams have allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to wide receivers thus far, and since Kadarius Toney (hamstring) likely won't play and Mecole Hardman (abdomen) is on Injured Reserve, Smith-Schuster's upside is sky-high in his return. He and tight end Travis Kelce should be quarterback Patrick Mahomes' clear top targets moving forward.
Nov 25, 2022 • 7:16 PM | RotoBallerJuju Smith-Schuster Practices Wednesday, Kadarius Toney Absent
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, while teammate Kadarius Toney (hamstring) missed Wednesday's session. Smith-Schuster missed the Week 11 win over the Chargers and will look to clear the concussion protocol within the next few days. The 26-year-old caught 46 passes for 615 yards and two touchdowns over nine games in 2022. Toney exited last Sunday's win over the Chargers early with a hamstring injury. The 23-year-old will have two more chances to practice ahead of Sunday's contest against the Rams. Toney is considered day-to-day.
Nov 24, 2022 • 3:07 AM | RotoBallerJuJu Smith-Schuster Ruled Out Against Chargers
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) has been ruled out for the Sunday Night Football contest against the Los Angeles Chargers. Smith-Schuster began to hit his stride in Weeks six through nine, racking up at least 88 receiving yards in all three games. However, he was knocked out of the game against the Jaguars and placed in concussion protocol and evidently hasn't recovered in time to play on Sunday night. Mecole Hardman (abdomen) has been placed on Injured Reserve, so expect Kadarius Toney and Marquez Valdes-Scantling to get the most targets lined up next to Travis Kelce.
Nov 18, 2022 • 7:16 PM | RotoBallerJuJu Smith-Schuster, Mecole Hardman To Miss Practice
Kansas City Chiefs wide receivers JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) and Mecole Hardman (abdomen) will miss another practice on Thursday. Both players have a shot to practice on Friday, but right now they are looking very iffy for Sunday night's game against the Los Angeles Chargers. And with the game coming late Sunday night, both wideouts will be shaky starting fantasy options if they are game-time decisions. Marquez Valdes-Scantling (illness) was back at practice on Thursday, and he could be KC's No. 1 receiver in a potential shootout if both Smith-Schuster and Hardman are unable to play. Receivers Kadarius Toney, Justin Watson and rookie Skyy Moore would all have elevated roles as well. Check back on Friday for Smith-Schuster's and Hardman's official statuses.
Nov 17, 2022 • 7:08 PM | RotoBallerJuJu Smith-Schuster, Marquez Valdes-Scantling Miss Practice
Kansas City Chiefs wide receivers JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) and Marquez Valdes-Scantling (illness) both missed practice on Wednesday. Mecole Hardman (abdomen) also missed practice, so KC's top wideouts are all questionable heading into a Sunday night showdown against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 11. It remains to be seen who will be available this weekend, but Kadarius Toney, Justin Watson and rookie Skyy Moore could all have elevated roles. Smith-Schuster, MVS and Hardman still have two days to get back on the practice field. With Hardman sidelined in the Week 10 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, Valdes-Scantling finished second in receiving yards (60) and found the end zone. Toney also caught four passes for 57 yards and his first TD with the team.
Nov 17, 2022 • 12:26 AM | RotoBallerJuJu Smith-Schuster Enters Concussion Protocol, Won't Return
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster has entered the concussion protocol after taking a scary hit from Jacksonville Jaguars safety Andre Cisco. Smith-Schuster immediately went to the ground and required attention from the training staff. Teammates huddled around as he was tended to. Per NFL rules, since Smith-Schuster entered concussion protocol, he will not be able to return in Week 10. The 25-year-old finishes the day with two catches for 33 yards. Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Kadarius Toney will headline the Chiefs' wide receiver corps for the remainder of the contest.
Nov 13, 2022 • 7:22 PM | RotoBallerJuJu Smith-Schuster Active On Monday Night
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring, quadriceps) is officially active on Monday night against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders. Smith-Schuster injured his hamstring in practice on Saturday, but there was never really much doubt that he would suit up in Week 5. The 25-year-old will continue to be one of quarterback Patrick Mahomes' top targets alongside tight end Travis Kelce, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Mecole Hardman. In his first four games with the Chiefs so far this year, Smith-Schuster has 19 receptions for 224 yards, but he has yet to find the end zone. His fantasy managers will be hoping that changes on Monday night against the visiting Raiders.
Oct 10, 2022 • 11:11 PM | RotoBallerJuJu Smith-Schuster Expected To Play Monday Night
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring, quadriceps), who is listed as questionable to play on Monday night against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders in Week 5, is expected to play, according to a source. Smith-Schuster suffered a hamstring injury on Saturday, leaving his availability in question for Monday's contest. However, he should be available to fantasy managers to close out Week 5 action. The 25-year-old has been the team's No. 2 receiver behind tight end Travis Kelce through the first four weeks of the season. Smith-Schuster has caught 19 of his 27 targets for 224 yards but has yet to find the end zone. He has exactly eight targets in three of his first four games in Kansas City.
Oct 10, 2022 • 4:27 PM | RotoBallerJuJu Smith-Schuster Questionable For Monday Night Football
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (quad, hamstring) was limited in practice on Saturday. He is officially listed as questionable for Monday Night Football against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 5. The 25-year-old practiced in full on Thursday and Friday but had his hamstring tighten up on Saturday, thus leading to his limited participation. If active, Smith-Schuster ranks as a WR3 ahead of a very favorable matchup. If he can't play, Mecole Hardman, Skyy Moore, and Marquez Valdes-Scantling would be in line for additional volume.
Oct 9, 2022 • 1:40 AM | RotoBallerJuju Smith-Schuster Dealing With Hamstring Tightness
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) was a full participant in practice on Thursday and Friday but had his hamstring tighten and was limited during Saturday's session. Head coach Andy Reid stated that he believes Smith-Schuster will suit up on Monday against the Las Vegas Raiders. Fantasy managers relying on Smith-Schuster may want to prepare a backup option for Monday Night Football just in case the 25-year-old experiences any setbacks. Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Skyy Moore, and Mecole Hardman may all be available on waivers and would be in line for additional opportunities if Smith-Schuster is surprisingly ruled out.
Oct 8, 2022 • 6:30 PM | RotoBallerJuJu Smith-Schuster Says He's Fully Healed
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) said his knee is fully healed and he's 100 percent healthy heading into Week 1 of the regular season against the Arizona Cardinals this Sunday. Smith-Schuster was limited a bit in training camp and the preseason with knee soreness, but he's good to go now and will be a key weapon for quarterback Patrick Mahomes after the team traded All-Pro receiver Tyreek Hill to Miami in the offseason. The Chiefs are expected to spread things around on offense, though, so fantasy managers will be curious to see how much Smith-Schuster is involved this week in a game that could very well be high-scoring. The 25-year-old is a WR3/flex with upside in his first game for the Chiefs.
Sep 7, 2022 • 11:09 PM | RotoBallerJuJu Smith-Schuster Back On The Practice Field
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) was spotted practicing with the team on Monday. Smith-Schuster missed the team's preseason finale last Thursday against the Green Bay Packers, but he's fully expected to be ready for Week 1 of the regular season against the Arizona Cardinals after being held out recently due to knee soreness. A shoulder injury limited the 25-year-old to just five games in his final year with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2021, but Smith-Schuster could be the Chiefs top wide receiver this year if he can stay healthy. If he can stay healthy, Smith-Schuster could be a steal at his WR3/flex price in fantasy drafts.
Aug 29, 2022 • 6:52 PM | RotoBallerJuJu Smith-Schuster Catches Passes Thursday
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) was out on the field catching passes from quarterback Patrick Mahomes on Thursday before the team's preseason finale, which is the first time he's been on the field since early last week. The Chiefs are expecting the 25-year-old to be ready for the Week 1 regular season opener against the Arizona Cardinals despite dealing with knee soreness since Aug. 15. Injuries have become a bit of a concern for him after he played in just five games for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2021 due to a shoulder injury that required surgery. But when healthy, Smith-Schuster should be one of Mahomes' top targets in a passing game now without Tyreek Hill. Consider him a WR3 with upside in 2022.
Aug 26, 2022 • 1:07 AM | RotoBallerJuJu Smith-Schuster Should Be Fine For Regular Season
Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) has "turned the corner" and should be fine for the regular season opener in Week 1 against the Arizona Cardinals. Smith-Schuster's sore knee occurred the Monday after the first preseason game, and he hasn't practiced in training camp since. Reid isn't worried about the 25-year-old pass-catcher, so fantasy managers shouldn't be either. Smith-Schuster won't play in the preseason finale this Thursday. In his first year in KC, he should be a big part of the team's passing attack, although quarterback Patrick Mahomes is expected to spread the ball around to Travis Kelce, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Mecole Hardman and rookie Skyy Moore. Smith-Schuster is a WR3 in fantasy with considerable upside if he can stay healthy.
Aug 23, 2022 • 9:24 PM | RotoBallerJuJu Smith-Schuster Remains Sidelined For Monday’s Practice
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) was unable to suit up for practice Monday, although he remains expected to return to the field later this week. Smith-Schuster is set to embark on his first season in Kansas City after inking a one-year deal in the offseason. Following the departure of Tyreek Hill, Smith-Schuster is expected to take on an even larger role in the explosive Chiefs offense, which gives the organization little reason to rush the 25-year-old back with over two weeks remaining before the regular season opener. Fellow newcomer Marquez Valdes-Scantling and longtime contributor Mecole Hardman will take on elevated roles in the passing game if Smith-Schuster were forced to miss anytime. K.C.'s preseason finale comes Thursday vs. Green Bay.
Aug 22, 2022 • 6:06 PM | RotoBallerJuJu Smith-Schuster And Mecole Hardman Sidelined Against Commanders
Kansas City Chiefs wide receivers JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) and Mecole Hardman (groin) were both absent from warmup on Saturday, eventually missing the preseason matchup against Washington. Smith-Schuster is anticipated to return next week, so missing Saturday's game is still in line with that timeline. Hardman had a more optimistic outlook entering the weekend. However, it appears he'll need some additional time before he is ready to return to the field. Smith-Schuster is the favorite to lead this receiving corps, which includes Marquez Valdes-Scantling and rookie Skyy Moore. On the other hand, Hardman already has a rapport with quarterback Patrick Mahomes, and since he has a skill set similar to Tyreek Hill, he has a chance to benefit immensely. Smith-Schuster may be a top-30 fantasy option, assuming he remains the No. 1 wideout on the depth chart. As far as Hardman, he is expected to have some inconsistent weeks throughout the year. Yet, he could be in store for his best season to date, especially with Hill now with the Miami Dolphins.
Aug 20, 2022 • 10:06 PM | RotoBallerJuJu Smith-Schuster Expected To Return Next Week
According to Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, there's a good chance that wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) returns to training camp practice next week. Smith-Schuster will be held out of the team's second preseason game this Saturday against the Washington Commanders, but barring any setbacks, he should be good to go for Week 1 of the regular season. The 25-year-old played in only five games in his final season with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2021 due to a shoulder injury, but he's past the shoulder issue and is in line for a substantial role as one of quarterback Patrick Mahomes' primary targets in his first year in KC. However, Mahomes is expected to spread the ball around in the offense, making Smith-Schuster more of a WR3 with upside in fantasy drafts.
