JuJu Smith-Schuster’s Chiefs Return: Is He Worth Your Fantasy Draft Pick?
JuJu Smith-Schuster is officially back with the Kansas City Chiefs on a one-year deal for the 2025 season. After catching 18 passes for 231 yards and 2 touchdowns last year, he provided solid depth but wasn’t a fantasy mainstay. With a full offseason to work with the team, there’s potential for him to see more consistent involvement in the offense this time around, but he’ll still be competing for targets in a crowded wide receiver room.
Kansas City’s receiving corps includes names like Xavier Worthy, Marquise Brown, and Rashee Rice, which makes it tough for JuJu to carve out a leading role. While Mahomes can elevate anyone, JuJu’s fantasy value is likely to remain limited, making him a potential bye-week plug-in or bench stash rather than a reliable weekly starter. His fantasy impact will hinge on injuries and how the depth chart shakes out, but for now, don’t expect him to be a key contributor in most fantasy leagues.
