JuJu Smith-Schuster 'getting better' for Steelers
Pittsburgh Steelers second-round wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster received praise from head coach Mike Tomlin.
“He’s working,†Tomlin told reporters. “He’s getting better. He’s answering the bell in terms of the task we’re giving him. We’re thoughtful about the task we give him because he’s young. And he’s doing an acceptable job.†At the ripe age of 20, Smith-Schuster is the youngest player in the NFL, but he's now out-snapped teammate Martavis Bryant in four consecutive weeks and is averaging 4.6 targets in five games this season. The rookie wideout and his Steelers teammates will take on the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 7.
Smith-Schuster has 15 catches for 192 yards and 2 touchdowns on 23 targets this season while averaging 7.7 FanDuel points per game. numberFire's models project him to score 5.2 FanDuel points at a cost of $5,300 in Week 7, making him the WR60 in our weekly fantasy rankings.
