JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) returns to Patriots practice Wednesday
New England Patriots wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) is practicing on Wednesday.
What It Means:
Smith-Schuster is back at practice for the first time since suffering a concussion in Week 5. Barring any setbacks this week, he should be able to clear protocol and play in Sunday's Week 7 matchup with the Buffalo Bills. Smith-Schuster has been kept out of the end zone this season and he doesn't have more than 5 catches or 33 yards in any game.
JuJu is averaging 3.1 FanDuel points in five games, with 14 catches on 25 targets for 86 yards. His average depth of target is only 5.5 yards and he's averaging just 0.81 yards per route run. The Bills are allowing the 11th-fewest FanDuel points per game to wide receivers this season and they have the fifth-ranked adjusted pass defense in the NFL, according to numberFire's metrics. It's a tough matchup for Smith-Schuster in an anemic offense.
