assuming Otis was doing some wheeling and dealing and fleeced someone in a trade. And now of course he's bragging about it.I'll bite - Chubb was a FA before week 1?

Same here. Dropped Juju and picked up Christian McCaffrey off waivers.Good week to point out I dumped him just before week 1 for Nick Chubb.

In fairness, it's Juju's third year in the league, with his first two years playing with Antonio Brown.JuJu is not a #1. Never has been. Never will be. Diontae will help JuJu once it gets to the point where teams start moving coverage over to him and away from JuJu.
I've never seen or heard of an NFL coach taking this approach when trying to salt away a win.I'm sure it's possible he improves, but what do I know. I think the playcalling shows his coaches aren't sure about him, though. They had a big lead and could have gotten him some looks in the 4th quarter to get some more challenging throws on tape, and instead they stayed conservative and chose to pretty much just get him out of that game as quickly as possible.
I partly agree with this... depends on your league obviously, but he could have some trade value yet. So I would say "easily" tradeable. Flat out cutting him would be a harder decision, but he is not startable for the most part at this moment.Easily cuttable in redraft. He might have a good game now and then against a weak opponent, but on a week-to-week basis there are gonna be a half dozen guys on the waiver wire who are far better options.
It's weird, but Juju kind of feels like the "reverse Alvin Harper" effect where an over-performing WR2 cashes out and flames out as a WR1 on another team. Here you've got the WR1 exiting and WR2 stepping into that role.Cutting Juju in redraft? although I can understand where the thought is coming from, you guys are overreacting a bit. This is week 4....only second week with new QB.....
Definitely not pass heavy with the abilities of Big Ben to put points on the board.

The argument can certainly be made that this will not get better. It was a questionable situation with Big Ben, and now with a back-up... move him if you can. This is not a 30+ pt/gm offense anymore... feels more like 20+ run heavy.
He's not cuttable. Hell Yahoo won't even let you cut him (for leagues with that turned on) but he is going to the bench.Easily cuttable in redraft. He might have a good game now and then against a weak opponent, but on a week-to-week basis there are gonna be a half dozen guys on the waiver wire who are far better options.
Mason Rudolph on JuJu: He has been an unbelievable leader for us. Even on moments where he doesn’t score, he is positive as ever encouraging the teammates and he’s a competitor. I have to start getting him more touches.
JuJu Smith-Schuster (toe) missed practice Wednesday.
As did James Conner (ankle) and Vance McDonald (shoulder). JuJu didn't appear nicked up in Monday's victory, so there's an outside chance this is merely mid-week rest. There's no reason to overreact just yet. He'll be a WR2 against the Ravens if he suits up.

Mason Rudolph wants to get JuJu Smith-Schuster more involved after only looking to him four times in Monday night's win over Cincinnati.
Smith-Schuster drew fewer targets than teammates James Conner, Diontae Johnson and Jaylen Samuels while playing through a nagging toe injury in Week 4. While the Steelers didn't need JuJu to beat the lowly Bengals, that won't be the case against stronger competition. "Got to get the ball to your best players and that’s something you look forward to every week in the gameplan, so it’s just an emphasis on my end," remarked Rudolph, who praised Johnson and others for stepping up with JuJu hurting in Week 4. Despite not practicing yet this week, Smith-Schuster is fully expected to suit up Sunday against Baltimore.

Traded him for Wentz and Dissly in a 20 team dynasty which favors QBs (6 point all TD, Non PPR) Trubisky and Cam killed me.He was likely drafted too high in redrafts to drop or sell low. You're going to have to ride this out and hope that things improve.
"barely able to practice" scares me. think I'm benching for Hollywood this week. Not excited about that prospect.https://mobile.twitter.com/dejan_kovacevic/status/1180160497813016577?s=21
“JuJu Smith-Schuster just said here he’s ‘questionable’ for Sunday because of a lingering toe injury and confirmed he was barely able to practice today. #DKPS #Steelers”
I wouldn't do that. I'm honestly not sure I'd sell JuJu at all right now, but the gap in age and WR value in your system makes this particular move an easy pass imo.hispeedthinmint said:What's his value in dynasty PPR now? I am looking to cash out. I was offered David Johnson straight up, but this is a league that heavily favors WRs (Start 3 WR, 2 RB, 1 TE + 2 flex) I also have a hole @ TE, but aside from kelce, I can't see a TE I'd move him straight up for.
DJ has what, 2 years left of any good FF production? Not sure I should do it.
SameKwai Chang Caine said:Going against a juggernaut this week and think I’m benching him for MVS. I can’t afford another 1.5 plus the toe issue doesn’t help.
Didn't fleece someone necessarily. At the time everyone had them at basically even value. But I was WR heavy and RB light and, like others above here, I never really viewed JuJu as a WR1. And with Big Ben at the tail end of his career and this being a long time dynasty league, just seemed like the right time to move on. Worked out well.assuming Otis was doing some wheeling and dealing and fleeced someone in a trade. And now of course he's bragging about it.
This was a great move for the first half. Chubb will help your team get to the playoffs>>>JJSS.Didn't fleece someone necessarily. At the time everyone had them at basically even value.

The receivers are back out on the field for warmups, but JuJu still isn’t with them

Obviously not warming up at full speed but here’s JuJu catching passes
JuJu Smith-Schuster caught all seven of his targets for 75 yards and one score in Pittsburgh's Week 5 overtime loss to the Ravens.
JuJu's bounce-back performance (as a game-time call, nonetheless) will be overshadowed by his fumble inside the 40 in overtime that allowed Justin Tucker to kick the game-winning field goal from 46-yards out. It was still a tremendous day outside of that blunder as Pittsburgh broke the levy and marched down the field with completions of 21 and 35 yards — the latter being Smith-Schuster's lone touchdown — on their third possession after opening the game with a three-and-out and ensuing turnover via Jaylen Samuels' poor decision making. This performance would normally lend confidence to those who roster Smith-Schuster, but Devlin Hodges' pending involvement in place of Mason Rudolph (concussion) leaves a lot to be desired from this offense as a whole. JuJu will be a low-end WR2 assuming the undrafted rookie gets the nod under center in Week 6.

I think the window to deal JuJu for anywhere near fair market value just closed shut...
