Who Should I Start? JuJu Smith-Schuster or Garrett Wilson

Saturday, October 11, 11:08 AM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster could be entering his final week of fantasy relevance. Through five games, the veteran has caught 16 of 21 targets for 168 yards and a touchdown, primarily operating out of the slot. Smith-Schuster has been a steady part of the Chiefs' passing attack, logging 74% of snaps and routes, but that role is likely to diminish soon. With Rashee Rice set to return from suspension in Week 7, Smith-Schuster's playing time and target share could take a significant hit. For Week 6, however, he draws a favorable matchup against a Lions defense that's allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. Smith-Schuster carries deep-league FLEX appeal in what could be his final start-worthy week for Kansas City.

There was no sign of New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) at practice on Thursday, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. Although the Jets aren't ruling Wilson out for their Week 7 contest against the Carolina Panthers, he's looking like a long shot to play this Sunday after hyperextending his knee in last week's loss to the Denver Broncos in London. Previous reports suggested that the 25-year-old wideout could miss multiple weeks, so fantasy managers definitely need to move him to their benches. Josh Reynolds (hip) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday, and he figures to see a sizeable role increase going forward for however long Wilson is out. In addition to Reynolds, Allen Lazard (personal), Arian Smith, and Tyler Johnson will need to do more to help a struggling Jets passing attack. With Wilson likely to miss time, rookie tight end Mason Taylor could end up leading the team in targets.
