2024 RTSports Outlook

Smith-Schuster did well his first season with the Chiefs. He was 27th overall in fantasy receiver scoring. He had some big games in the Chiefs explosive passing game. He had two games with double-digit receptions and two others with 100-plus yards. He had three games with 20-plus fantasy points. Smith-Schuster has 75-plus receptions three of five seasons. He heads to the Patriots this season and might be their top option in the passing game. Smith-Schuster might be a good fit for the Patriots offense, serving the possession receiver role well. Smith-Schuster is a big, strong receiver that isn't afraid to make the tough catch. He does lack a little top speed, but still makes many of big plays. He will drop some passes, but has improved in that area since earlier in his career.

FANTASY OUTLOOK: Smith-Schuster isn't an elite fantasy receiver but a solid No. 3 in this offense. He should get some consistent weekly targets. He could really rack up the catches this year. Look for around 80 receptions for 900 yards and seven touchdowns.

Dec 30 7:00pm ET

New England Patriots wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle) has been placed on the injured reserve on Saturday. This move will end the veteran's disappointing 2023 campaign. It was an awful year for Smith-Schuster who finished with 260 yards and one touchdown this season. His absence isn't going to mean too much for the Patriots offense over the next two games. Demario Douglas is basically the only viable streaming on at wide receiver on this Pats offense heading into Week 17.

New England Patriots WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Saturday, Dec. 30.

Fantasy Spin: With Smith-Schuster out for the final two games, Demario Douglas is a solid flex option, but the rest of the wideouts aren't trustworthy options for fantasy managers to rely on.

From TheHuddle

Dec 29 4:23pm ET

New England Patriots WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle) did not participate in practice Friday, Dec. 29, and has been ruled out for Week 17.

Fantasy Spin: Demario Douglas and DeVante Parker likely will be the main receivers for the Patriots with Smith-Schuster unavailable. Douglas could be a flex option in some leagues, but Parker can be avoided in most fantasy leagues.

Dec 29 4:20pm ET

New England Patriots wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 17 versus the Buffalo Bills. He'll miss fourth game of the season, including his second in a row. The 27-year-old was the Patriots' prized offseason signing at the wide receiver position but has been a massive disappointment, catching just 29 passes for 260 yards and one touchdown. Look for Demario Douglas and DeVante Parker to continue operating as the Patriots' top receivers this Sunday. Both pass-catchers are fine FLEX options in deeper formats.

From RotoBaller

Dec 28 5:30pm ET

After putting in a limited practice on Wednesday, New England Patriots wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle) was listed as a non-participant in Thursday's practice session. Smith-Schuster has been inactive for each of the team's last two games and is now in jeopardy of missing his third straight game this weekend against the Buffalo Bills after this midweek downgrade. He put up his best performance of the year with four catches on six targets for 90 yards in the Week 1 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, but he followed that with two straight missed games. Even if Smith-Schuster returns to play in Week 17, fantasy managers should steer clear of him now that rookie Demario Douglas and DeVante Parker look like quarterback Bailey Zappe's favorite two targets in the passing game. The27-year-old Smith-Schuster has only 29 receptions on 47 targets for 260 yards and one touchdown in 11 games.

Dec 28 5:13pm ET

New England Patriots WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle) did not participate in practice Thursday, Dec. 28.

Fantasy Spin: Smith-Schuster was a limited participant earlier in the week, but it is not known if he suffered a setback in his recovery. Fantasy players can keep an eye on the situation but may want to consider other options for their lineups.

From TheHuddle

Dec 28 4:13pm ET

New England Patriots OT Trent Brown (illness), C Jalen Mills (concussion), S Jabrill Peppers (hamstring), WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle) and RB Ezekiel Elliott (illness) did not practice on Thursday, Dec. 28. DT Christian Barmore (knee), LB Ja'Whaun Bentley (knee), CB Myles Bryant (chest), TE Hunter Henry (knee), LB Anfernee Jennings (knee), CB Jonathan Jones (knee), WR Matthew Slater (hamstring) and CB Shaun Wade (hip) were limited. OT Tyrone Wheatley Jr. (knee) practiced in full.

Dec 27 9:10pm ET

New England Patriots wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle) got in a limited practice on Wednesday ahead of his team's Week 17 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Smith-Schuster missed his team's Week 16 game against the Denver Broncos but his ability to practice on a limited basis on Wednesday is a positive sign for the veteran receiver. Stay tuned to practice reports on Thursday and Friday. If Smith-Schuster misses another game, look for Demario Douglas to lead the Patriots receiving corps again.

From RotoBaller

Dec 27 5:43pm ET

New England Patriots WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle) was limited during practice Wednesday, Dec. 27.

Fantasy Spin: Schuster has been sidelined for several weeks, so his status for Week 17 is uncertain at this time. He will see a few targets if he is cleared to play but probably can be avoided in most leagues.

From TheHuddle

Dec 24 7:03pm ET

The New England Patriots have declared RB Rhamondre Stevenson, DT Sam Roberts, TE Hunter Henry, WR JuJu Smith-Schuster, WR Matthew Slater, SS Jabrill Peppers and QB Nathan Rourke inactive for Week 16.

From TheHuddle

Dec 22 6:40pm ET

New England Patriots wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle) has been ruled out for the Week 16 matchup against the Denver Broncos. The veteran wideout missed last week's game as well due to the same ankle issue. Smith-Schuster is putting together a disappointing campaign, so his absence isn't going to mean too much. Demario Douglas should be the full-time slot receiver and be a possible WR4 in fantasy formats for this upcoming matchup. Smith-Schuster isn't worth rostering in most formats right now.

From RotoBaller

Dec 22 6:13pm ET

New England Patriots WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle) did not participate in practice Friday, Dec. 22, and has been ruled out for Week 16.

Fantasy Spin: Smith-Schuster may have suffered a setback in his recovery, so fantasy players can check on his status next week. Demario Douglas and DeVante Parker should be the main option in the passing game for the Patriots in Week 16. Douglas can be a flex option in leagues, while Parker could be a possible flex option in deeper leagues.

From TheHuddle

Dec 21 9:50pm ET

New England Patriots wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle) remained a limited participant during Thursday's practice session. The veteran wideout was questionable due to the same ankle issue last week and ultimately ended up sitting out of the game. The Pats have nothing to play for at this point, so it's unlikely that Smith-Schuster gets cleared to play. If active, Smith-Schuster is barely a fantasy option anyway with the way he has been playing this season. Demario Douglas is basically the only receiver in New England with fantasy value right now. He's a possible WR3 in PPR formats for the upcoming Week 16 matchup against the Denver Broncos.

From RotoBaller

Dec 21 6:13pm ET

New England Patriots WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle) was limited during practice Thursday, Dec. 21.

Fantasy Spin: Smith-Schuster did not play in the Week 15 game but seems to have a decent chance to be in uniform against the Denver Broncos. He will see a few targets in the passing game if active and could be a possible flex option in some deeper leagues.

From TheHuddle

Dec 20 9:30pm ET

New England Patriots wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle) was a limited participant during practice on Wednesday. The 27-year-old missed last Sunday's game but exploded one week earlier in Week 14 with four catches for 90 yards. It appears that he has a respectable rapport with current starting quarterback Bailey Zappe, though it's tough to trust him with Demario Douglas, DeVante Parker, and Hunter Henry all healthy. Special teamer Matthew Slater (hamstring) was also limited, putting his Week 16 status up in the air.

From RotoBaller

Dec 20 6:23pm ET

New England Patriots WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle) was limited during practice Wednesday, Dec. 20.

Fantasy Spin: Smith-Schuster was a limited participant in practice last week but did not play in Week 15, so his status for Week 16 is uncertain. He will see a few targets if he plays but probably can be avoided in most leagues.

From TheHuddle

Dec 17 12:03pm ET

New England Patriots WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle) has been declared inactive for the Week 15 game.

Fantasy Spin: Demario Douglas is returning to the lineup this week and likely will receive Smith-Schuster's targets in the passing game. DeVante Parker may also see a few more targets, but Douglas is the only one that should be considered a flex option in most leagues.

From TheHuddle

Dec 17 11:43am ET

The New England Patriots have declared DT Sam Roberts, CB Shaun Wade, OT Trent Brown, WR JuJu Smith-Schuster, WR Kayshon Boutte and RB Rhamondre Stevenson inactive for Week 15.

From TheHuddle

Dec 17 9:23am ET

New England Patriots WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle) is not expected to play in Week 15's game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Fantasy Spin: Smith-Schuster had been listed as questionable on the injury report after being a limited practice participant throughout the week. If he is held out of action, expect TE Hunter Henry and WRs Demario Douglas and DeVante Parker to see more targets.

From TheHuddle

Dec 17 8:30am ET

New England Patriots wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle) had been listed as questionable and appears unlikely to play against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 15, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Specifically, Rapoport notes that Smith-Schuster is "far less likely" to suit up than teammate DeVante Parker (knee). From a fantasy football perspective, Demario Douglas is the only pass-catcher that managers can trust this week. Parker and Hunter Henry could also sneak onto the fantasy radar in deep leagues, but both players have low floors.
