Chiefs' JuJu Smith-Schuster: Makes lone grab count in Week 15
JuJu Smith-Schuster reeled in one of his three targets for seven yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 21-7 win versus the Browns.Smith-Schuster's 51 percent snap share sits around the same range it has been over the past four contests. His three targets did mark his highest total since returning from a hamstring injury in Week 11, but that's hardly enough volume to warrant fantasy consideration in the majority of formats. On top of that, Hollywood Brown (shoulder) had his practice window opened ahead of his potential return from injured reserve. When that happens, Smith-Schuster will likely slide further down the depth chart behind Brown, Xavier Worthy and DeAndre Hopkins.

Chiefs' JuJu Smith-Schuster: Limited output in Week 14
JuJu Smith-Schuster gathered in both of his targets for 31 yards during Sunday's 19-17 win versus the Chargers.Smith-Schuster logged a 49 percent snap share (34 snaps) on offense in the game, ranking fourth among wideouts behind Xavier Worthy (83 percent), DeAndre Hopkins (55 percent) and Justin Watson (51 percent). Smith-Schuster should continue to see work on a weekly basis, but his Week 5 seven-catch, 130-yard output should clearly be viewed as an anomaly. Barring injuries at wide receiver, Smith-Schuster can safely be left on the waiver wire in most leagues.

Chiefs' JuJu Smith-Schuster: One grab versus Raiders
JuJu Smith-Schuster hauled in his only target for 10 yards during Friday's 19-17 victory versus Las Vegas.Smith-Schuster finished third among wideouts in terms of snaps behind just Xavier Worthy and DeAndre Hopkins, but he didn't do a ton with them, commanding just one target.

Chiefs' JuJu Smith-Schuster: Quiet effort versus Panthers
JuJu Smith-Schuster reeled in one of his two targets for six yards during Sunday's 30-27 victory versus the Panthers.While Smith-Schuster was third among wide receivers in terms of reps -- 41 snaps for a 55 percent snap share -- he was unable to do much with them. The 28-year-old wideout has turned in just one catch in each of the last two games, totaling a combined 14 yards. Barring injuries to other top targets in the passing attack, Smith-Schuster can likely be left on the waiver wire in the majority of fantasy formats.

Chiefs' JuJu Smith-Schuster: Tallies one catch in return
JuJu Smith-Schuster hauled in his only target for eight yards during Sunday's 30-21 loss to the Bills.Smith-Schuster logged only 20 snaps in his return to action Sunday, turning the limited run into just one grab. Following the trade deadline acquisition of DeAndre Hopkins, Smith-Schuster's seven-catch, 130-yard performance against the Saints in Week 5 seems unlikely to be replicated. Still, Smith-Schuster figures to handle a regular role on offense for the rest of the regular season due to the Kansas City Chiefs' thinned-out wide receiver room because of injury.

Chiefs' JuJu Smith-Schuster: Logs full practice
JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.With a full practice under his belt this week, Smith-Schuster looks set to return to the lineup Sunday against the Bills after missing the Kansas City Chiefs' previous three games with the hamstring injury. Since he last played, the Chiefs have acquired DeAndre Hopkins, who has produced a 14-171-2 receiving line on 17 targets through his first three outings with the club. With Hopkins locked in as Kansas City's No. 1 wideout and tight end Travis Kelce also commanding plenty of looks from quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Smith-Schuster appears set to operate as more of a secondary target in the passing game now that he's healthy again.
