Who Should I Start? JuJu Smith-Schuster or Isaac TeSlaa

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster has seen his role in the offense decrease over the last few weeks. Smith-Schuster was playing over 60 percent of the offensive snaps through the first six games of the season. However, Smith-Schuster has taken a backseat with the return of Rashee Rice. The 28-year-old has fallen to fourth on the depth chart where there isn't as much action for him. Smith-Schuster has been held to five receptions for 64 yards and zero touchdowns over the last two games. His role in the offense figures to be minimal going forward with the Chiefs offense healthy again.

Across the first seven games of his NFL career, Detroit Lions rookie wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa recorded three catches for 54 yards and two touchdowns. The 23-year-old has flashed contested-catch brilliance, but has been unable to be consistently productive on a week-to-week basis. TeSlaa may see a larger role in Detroit's offense post bye week. However, in his final game before the team's Week 8 bye, TeSlaa played just 13% of Detroit's offensive snaps, his lowest playing time share since Week 1. The Lions have a difficult matchup in Week 9 against the division rival Minnesota Vikings, who have allowed the fourth-fewest passing yards (1,428) in the NFL through eight weeks. TeSlaa should remain off the radar of fantasy managers in Week 9.
