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

Tuesday, July 1, 12:16 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers reporter Mark Kaboly said on 93.7 The Fan that the team has had talks with free-agent wide receiver Tyler Boyd. It comes a day after Boyd said he's "absolutely" be interested in playing for the Steelers. It's unclear if a formal offer was made to Boyd, but the money that he's been offered around the league this offseason hasn't been in the neighborhood of what he's looking for. The Steelers acquired tight end Jonnu Smith in a trade on Monday with the Miami Dolphins, but they could still use additional receiver depth behind DK Metcalf. As things currently stand, Calvin Austin III is set for WR2 duties with Roman Wilson, Robert Woods, Scotty Miller and Ben Skowronek also on the roster. After eight seasons with the Bengals, Boyd caught 39 passes for 390 yards and no touchdowns in 16 games (eight starts) for Tennessee in 2024.

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.
