Who Should I Start? JuJu Smith-Schuster or Tyler Johnson

Thursday, September 11, 4:14 PM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster finished second on the team in targets (five) in Week 1, hauling in five catches for 55 yards. With top Chiefs wideouts Xavier Worthy (shoulder) and Rashee Rice (suspension) both currently sidelined, Smith-Schuster could be a consistent feature in the team's passing game over the next few weeks. While the 28-year-old is not an explosive player, he has shown an ability to be a reliable short-area target, particularly when playing next to Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Because of his projectable floor as a target earner, Smith-Schuster could be a useful bench receiver in deep PPR-leagues while Kansas City is battling wide receiver injuries

New York Jets wide receiver Tyler Johnson will see an elevated snap share in his team's Week 3 matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders. Johnson is set to operate as the Jets' second wideout again this Sunday, with teammate Josh Reynolds (hamstring) inactive for the second straight week with a hamstring injury. The sixth-year pro actually led the team in snaps at his position in Week 2, accruing one more than starter Garrett Wilson. However, he commanded a single target, failing to pull it in. Johnson may see a slight bump in volume this weekend with Tyrod Taylor calling signals for the team, and a fast-paced offense in the Buccaneers as their opposition. He'll be too difficult to trust for fantasy, though, as he's notched two total catches despite logging over 70% of New York's snaps (70.3%). Johnson is out of play as RotoBaller's PPR WR108 in Week 3.
