Patrick Mahomes' 30-yard Connection with JuJu Smith-Schuster gets Chiefs into Lions' Territory Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes finds wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster for a 30-yard catch and run.

OCTOBER 13 • CHIEFS.COM

Targeted three times in loss Smith-Schuster caught two of three targets for 17 yards in Monday's 31-28 loss to the Jaguars.

Impact Smith-Schuster played 42 of the Chiefs' 64 offensive snaps Monday, behind Xavier Worthy (49) and ahead of Marquise Brown (33), Tyquan Thornton (29) and Jalen Royals (4). Despite playing the second most snaps of any Kansas City wideout, the veteran was unable to get much going in the passing game. Smith-Schuster is already difficult to trust for fantasy purposes, and the looming return of Rashee Rice from his six-game suspension should further complicate matters for the ninth-year receiver. Smith-Schuster will have the chance to bounce back in what should be a high-scoring affair when the Chiefs host the Lions in Week 6.

Finds paydirt against Ravens Smith-Schuster hauled in four of six targets for 36 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 37-20 win versus the Ravens.

Impact The veteran wideout's workload is set to decline in a couple weeks when Rashee Rice returns from his six-game suspension, but Smith-Schuster continues to play a key role in the offense for KC in the meantime, as he led the wideout room with 57 offensive snaps (78 percent) in Week 4. Sunday's effort marked the first time he's reached double-digit PPR points this season, and he'll likely remain a touchdown-dependent fantasy option while in a prominent role. That said, he has a decent matchup ahead versus the Jaguars in Week 5.

Finds paydirt against Ravens Smith-Schuster hauled in four of six targets for 36 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 37-20 win versus the Ravens.

Impact Smith-Schuster's time as a regular may wind down in a couple of weeks when Rashee Rice returns from his six-game suspension, but the veteran wideout continues to play a key role in the offense for KC, leading the wideout room with 57 offensive snaps (78 percent) in Week 4. Sunday's effort marked Smith-Schuster's first reaching double-digit fantasy points in PPR formats, and he'll likely remain a touchdown-dependent fantasy option for the next couple of weeks. That said, he has another decent matchup ahead versus the Jaguars in Week 5.

Four grabs vs. Giants Smith-Schuster reeled in all four of his targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 22-9 win over the Giants.

Impact Smith-Schuster played 50 of the Chiefs' 72 offensive snaps Sunday, behind fellow wide receiver Tyquan Thornton (55). The veteran wideout has remained a relatively important part of the Chiefs' passing attack with Xavier Worthy (shoulder) sidelined and Rashee Rice suspended, but he hasn't been able to make much noise with his opportunities. Heading into a Week 4 matchup against the Ravens, Smith-Schuster offers limited upside, especially with the Worthy potentially back in the mix.

Minimal output versus Eagles Smith-Schuster had one reception (on three targets) for five yards during Sunday's 20-17 defeat to the Eagles.

Impact Smith-Schuster saw regular run on offense Sunday with Xavier Worthy (shoulder) out and Rashee Rice suspended, but he was unable to capitalize on the increase in opportunity. Tyquan Thornton did take advantage of the chance, reeling in two of his five targets for 59 yards, including a 49-yard touchdown and a near-miss touchdown on another deep shot from Patrick Mahomes. With Worthy on the cups of a return, it's reasonable to question how many snaps Smith-Schuster will claim moving forward.

SEPTEMBER 11 • Associated Press

Five catches to open season Smith-Schuster brought in all five targets for 55 yards in the Chiefs' 27-21 loss to the Chargers on Friday night.

Impact The veteran wideout took advantage of the opportunity created by the early first-quarter departure of Xavier Worthy (shoulder), finishing as a distant runner-up across the board to Hollywood Brown in receiving metrics. Smith-Schuster was slated to serve as the No. 3 receiver to open the season due to Rashee Rice's suspension, but Worthy's injury, if it carries over into Week 2 home showdown against the Eagles, could lead to Smith-Schuster operating in a No. 2 role again.

SEPTEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Could be key piece early Smith-Schuster could be counted upon for an expanded role in Friday's regular-season opener against the Chargers, Bobby Kownack of NFL.com reports.

Impact Smith-Schuster, Hollywood Brown and Tyquan Thornton are all candidates for significant action Friday. Those receivers are next in line for opportunities behind Xavier Worthy while Rashee Rice serves a six-game suspension to begin the season, and rookie fourth-round pick Jalen Royals (knee) has been ruled out. Smith-Schuster had only 231 regular-season receiving yards with Kansas City in 2024, a far cry from the 933 he managed in his first year with the Chiefs in 2022.

APRIL 16 • Associated Press

Staying put in KC The Chiefs are re-signing Smith-Schuster to a one-year contract, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact Smith-Schuster initially joined Kansas City on a one-year deal last August and appeared in 14 regular-season games, tallying 18 receptions on 26 targets for 231 yards and two touchdowns. He then played in all three of the team's postseason contests and caught four of six targets for 76 yards. Kansas City lost DeAndre Hopkins in free agency early in the week, but Hollywood Brown was re-signed and Rashee Rice should be back in action at the start of next season after missing most of last year due to a knee injury, so Smith-Schuster probably isn't going to have a much bigger role in the Chiefs' offense than he did last year.

MARCH 8 • Associated Press

Ancillary role in 2024 Smith-Schuster racked up 18 catches for 231 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 26 targets during the 2024 regular season.

Impact Smith-Schuster inked a one-year deal with the Chiefs this offseason, hoping to rekindle some of the flames that saw him register 78 grabs for 933 yards and three touchdowns in 2022, but it wasn't in the cards for him this season. Smith-Schuster saw semi-regular action in games but wasn't a major factor for the Chiefs, even after Rashee Rice was lost for the season due to an LCL injury. The team instead traded for DeAndre Hopkins and coasted by the regular season, seeing a late-season return from Hollywood Brown to pair with rookie Xavier Worthy as the team's primary tandem during the postseason. Smith-Schuster reenters free agency this offseason unrestricted but seems unlikely to recapture his production from 2022 when the Chiefs sported a relatively barren wide receiver depth chart. He'll likely need to compete for regular playing time again at his next stop.
