JUJU SMITH-SCHUSTER NEWS

One grab in regular-season finale Smith-Schuster caught one of two targets for four yards during Sunday's 38-0 loss versus the Broncos.

Impact Smith-Schuster logged a heavy workload in the contest, playing 94 percent of the offensive snaps as one of the wideouts who saw additional action with Xavier Worthy, DeAndre Hopkins and Hollywood Brown all sitting out with the No. 1 seed already in hand coming into the Week 18 tilt. The veteran closed out the 2024 campaign with 18 catches for 231 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 26 targets and will rejoin the free-agent ranks this offseason once the team's postseason run concludes.

Two grabs against former team Smith-Schuster caught both of his targets for 18 yards in Wednesday's 29-10 win over the Steelers.

Impact Smith-Schuster was one of seven players to catch multiple passes from Patrick Mahomes in Wednesday's lopsided win. The veteran wideout is an ancillary piece in Kansas City's passing game, having surpassed 20 yards in only two games this season.

Held without a catch in Week 16 win Smith-Schuster failed to reel in his only target during Saturday's 27-19 win over the Texans.

Impact Smith-Schuster saw his snap count decline to 39 percent with the return of Hollywood Brown to the lineup Saturday, after having played over 50 percent of snaps in his prior four appearances. With Xavier Worthy and DeAndre Hopkins also available as starters in three-wide sets, Smith-Schuster's role on offense for Kansas City is now clearly a depth one, especially with Brown's involvement to be ramped up. He can safely be relegated to the waiver wire in the majority of fantasy formats heading into a road matchup against the Steelers on Wednesday.

Makes lone grab count in Week 15 Smith-Schuster reeled in one of his three targets for seven yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 21-7 win versus the Browns.

Impact 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's (shoulder) practice window to return from injured reserve has opened. When Brown is activated, Smith-Schuster will likely slide further out of the limelight behind Brown, Xavier Worthy and DeAndre Hopkins.

Limited output in Week 14 Smith-Schuster gathered in both of his targets for 31 yards during Sunday's 19-17 win versus the Chargers.

Impact 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.

One grab versus Raiders Smith-Schuster hauled in his only target for 10 yards during Friday's 19-17 victory versus Las Vegas.

Impact 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. He's totaled just four targets in the three weeks since returning from a hamstring injury, and there's little to suggest his involvement will grow, barring injuries at the wide receiver position.

Quiet effort versus Panthers Smith-Schuster reeled in one of his two targets for six yards during Sunday's 30-27 victory versus the Panthers.

Impact 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.

Tallies one catch in return Smith-Schuster hauled in his only target for eight yards during Sunday's 30-21 loss to the Bills.

Impact 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 Chiefs' thinned-out wide receiver room because of injury.

NOVEMBER 17, 2024 • USATODAY.COM

Cleared to return for Week 11 Smith-Schuster (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bills.

Impact Smith-Schuster logged full practices Thursday and Friday, paving the way for his first game action since Oct. 20. In his last full game prior to getting injured, Smith-Schuster had 130 receiving yards. The Chiefs subsequently traded for DeAndre Hopkins, but Smith-Schuster's still in line for a prominent role in his return.

Likely to return Sunday Coach Andy Reid said Friday that Smith-Schuster (hamstring) likely will be available Sunday in Buffalo, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Smith-Schuster finally logged a full practice Thursday for the first time since he injured his hamstring Sunday, Oct. 20 at San Francisco. Reid also told Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com on Friday the Smith-Schuster had a good week, so the veteran wide receiver seems poised to put an end to a three-game absence.

Logs full practice Smith-Schuster (hamstring) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact 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 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.

Limited in return to practice Smith-Schuster (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

Impact Earlier Wednesday, coach Andy Reid said Smith-Schuster has a "good chance" to play Sunday at Buffalo. The wideout hadn't practiced or played since Week 7 prior to his limited participation Wednesday. Smith-Schuster may not play a lot of snaps even if he has full clearance from a health standpoint, as the Chiefs now have DeAndre Hopkins working as their top possession receiver.

Impact Smith-Schuster hasn't practiced since Week 7, but it appears as though he's trending toward a return to action this weekend, barring any setbacks. Wednesday's injury report will provide added context with regard to the wideout's Week 11 status by revealing his level of practice participation.

NOVEMBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Close to practicing again Coach Andy Reid said Monday that Smith-Schuster (hamstring) is close to returning to practice, Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com reports.

Impact Smith-Schuster has missed three consecutive games due to the hamstring injury that he suffered Sunday, Oct. 20 at San Francisco. Considering an IR stint would have required at least four games out of commission, perhaps Reid and the Chiefs anticipate Smith-Schuster returning to action Sunday in Buffalo, but ultimately getting back on the field this week will be the first step in that endeavor.
