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

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.

Detroit Lions rookie wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa hauled in his second touchdown catch of the season in Week 5 against the Cincinnati Bengals and now has three catches for 54 yards and two scores through his first five NFL games. TeSlaa gets a difficult matchup in Week 6 against the Kansas City Chiefs, who have allowed the ninth-fewest passing yards (999) and the fourth-fewest number of passing touchdowns (five) in the NFL so far this season. On the bright side, TeSlaa could be in line for his largest snap share of the season with Lions WR3 Kalif Raymond (neck) officially listed as questionable to play in Week 6 due to a neck injury. TeSlaa still cannot be counted on for fantasy production in Week 6, but he's a player to monitor as a stash candidate in deep leagues for his season-long upside.
