Pittsburgh Steelers WR Juju Smith-Schuster ended up with two grabs for 22 yards on four targets in Week 16 against the New York Jets.
Huddle Up: Smith-Schuster was a little rusty, which is never good in Week 16 when most fantasy championships are decided. The best thing that happened in this game, and lately, is that Diontae Johnson has stepped up as a secondary option, something Smith-Schuster has needed. That's promising heading into 2020.

Updating a previous report, Pittsburgh Steelers WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) does not appear on the team's Week 16 injury report, but his status for Week 16 still remains uncertain.
Huddle Up: Despite practicing in full Thursday and Friday, Smith-Schuster still sounds uncertain about his knee, and it looks as if it will boil down to a pre-game decision Sunday. If he plays, he's a WR3/flex consideration against the host Jets.

Pittsburgh Steelers WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) was a full participant in practice Friday, Dec. 20, but said that his knee isn't 100 percent and is still unsure if he'll return and play in Week 16 on Sunday, Dec. 22.
Huddle Up: The encouraging sign is that Smith-Schuster fully participated in practice a second straight day, but his statements are painting a different picture of where he's at in his recovery from a knee issue that has kept him out since Week 11. See if there's any more light shed on the situation later Friday with the team's official Week 16 injury report, but it might wind up boiling down to a pre-game decision Sunday for JJSS fantasy owners.

Pittsburgh Steelers WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) took part in the full practice Thursday, Dec. 19.
Huddle Up: It's unclear if this means Smith-Schuster will be good to go for Week 16 against the New York Jets quite yet, but it's obviously a good sign. His return would obviously mean fewer targets for James Washington and Diontae Johnson in what is already a limited passing attack. If fantasy owners made it this far without Smith-Schuster, there's a good chance they have a better option than him as a WR3/flex option this week.

Pittsburgh Steelers WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) was limited during practice Wednesday, Dec. 18.
Huddle Up: Smith-Schuster may be a game-time decision this week, so fantasy players will need to keep an eye on his status during the week. He could be a No. 3 receiver or flex option if he is active for the game.

Pittsburgh Steelers WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) will remain questionable for Week 16, but head coach Mike Tomlin says he feels better about him.
Huddle Up: Smith-Schuster would return to a midrange matchup, and the Steelers have remained in the hunt despite injuries all over the offense. Smith-Schuster would be a WR3 if he can make it back.

Pittsburgh Steelers WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) did not participate in practice Friday, Dec. 13, and has been ruled out for Week 15.
Huddle Up: Smith-Schuster aggravated his injury earlier in the week and will miss at least one more game. James Washington and Diontae Johnson will continue to be the main options in the passing game. Washington can be at least a flex option in fantasy leagues, while Johnson could be a possible flex option in deeper leagues.

Pittsburgh Steelers WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) is unlikely to play in Week 15 after he aggravated his knee injury in practice Thursday, Dec. 12.
Huddle Up: It might be a little early for this, but aggravating the original injury that has kept him out so long could spell the end of his regular season. James Washington has been a borderline WR1 over the last five weeks, and he'll be a solid WR2 against the Buffalo Bills.

Pittsburgh Steelers WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) was limited during practice Thursday, Dec. 12.
Huddle Up: Smith-Schuster was downgraded during practice Thursday, so his status for Week 15 is still uncertain. He can be a No. 3 receiver or flex option if he plays, but fantasy players need to have other options ready in case he is ruled out.
Posted: 12/11/2019 9:34 pm UTC
Pittsburgh Steelers WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Dec. 11.
Huddle Up: Smith-Schuster has not played since the middle of November because of various injuries but appears to be on track for Week 15. He will be working with a new quarterback if he plays but could still be a No. 3 receiver or flex option in leagues.
