Huddle Up: Smith-Schuster was benched down the stretch in Week 1, and his surgically repaired knee could play into this. The team signed him to be a contributor, which means he should get his shot. However, for now, he's a weak flex option in fantasy.

Huddle Up: It is definitely concerning that he's still having problems in June, and he'll be a WR3 with some concerns.

Huddle Up: Well, this is an interesting combination. The boisterous, TikTok-loving Smith-Schuster will be joining the most reserved team in the NFL, led by the uber-serious Bill Belichick. While that will be something to watch, the Pats desperately needed a wide receiver, especially in the wake of Jakobi Meyers leaving for the Las Vegas Raiders, so this signing makes a ton of sense for the Pats on that front. The problem for JuJu lies in the Pats' quarterback situation, which will be a massive downgrade for him coming from Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes, no matter if Mac Jones or Bailey Zappe is the starter. As a result, Smith-Schuster shouldn't be looked at as anything more than a flex option going into 2023 until we see how this dynamic plays out.

Huddle Up: Smith-Schuster was inconsistent for fantasy purposes but proved to have some upside in PPR formats. If he's brought back with the same crew, he should bring WR3 value.

Huddle Up: Smith-Schuster should receive interest from multiple teams if he hits the free-agent market this offseason. He will be a starting option no matter where he plays and can be a weekly starting option in fantasy leagues.
