JuJu Smith-Schuster, WR, Pittsburgh Steelers

Fantasy points: 194.2

ADP: 2.75

I tried telling you back in November that JuJu Smith-Schuster's emergence was legit, and it proved to be just that as he excelled in the high-octane offense of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Smith-Schuster was, on average, the seventh wide receiver taken in 2017 rookie drafts, near the back end of round two and early round three. His stock slipped a bit after he didn't put up huge numbers in his final season at USC, but his value is soaring now.

JuJu finished the season with 917 receiving yards and 7 scored on 58 receptions. He was the WR18 in standard leagues and should continue to make big plays for Ben Roethlisberger, who may play three more seasons, which would give JuJu's immediate outlook a big lift.
