I dont think that's a hot take at all I don't know about that. I hope that JuJu sees more consistent targets than Lockett. But if your point is that they may put up similar fantasy numbers, I don't disagree. I was just being a little sarcastic with my "stick in the eye" comment. Probably more to do with the current state of my teams than anything else. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately the Rams game soon after that was looking decent is now a sure sit for him with ramsey there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Like a sharp stick with ghost pepper sauce on it. Rudolph back is way better than that. Or a weenie. I might rather have the ghost pepper stick in my eye than a weenie. In any event, I prefer to have the Steeler’s 2nd string QB back throwing to JuJu than either of those kinds of sticks. I guess if there was some kind of magic spear that would give me unlimited wishes when it pierced my eye...I’d take that. Obviously it’s a complex question and very subjective. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Big Nate 1,398 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Honest thoughts about this guy ROS as well as future/dynasty thoughts. I've never owned JuJu and haven't followed him much but have a very enticing offer to acquire him. Looking at things he's still super young at 22. Some red flags for this year are: he only received 4 targets in 2 games, and his max is 8. QB carousel due to injuries. Honestly don't know what the "norm" for him is and if he will consistently get 7-8 targets minimum each game. We are seeing some of the top WRs get 10+ targets each game. Fantasy pros has him as #12 on their rankings for PPR Dynasty. I assume that hasn't been updated lately but sure shows what people initially think of him long term, at least potential. Is it worth acquiring JuJu in a dynasty league in hopes he can truly be a top WR in this league? Can he get there? So many people want instant gratification and are unwilling to wait for it (see impatient Cook owners who gave up too early). I haven't decided if this guy can be an elite WR1 on his team year in and year out. Maybe it is too early in his career to make that determination.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's been the major question and this should have been the season to answer it one way or the other. Unfortunately, Big Ben getting hurt means we won't see him with a starting QB until next season. Personally, I don't think he is an elite WR like Hopkins, Jones, etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't decided if this guy can be an elite WR1 on his team year in and year out. Maybe it is too early in his career to make that determination.... He is extremely talented and has taken everything that came his way in stride. The only big question marks for him alone are: can he produce as the teams #1 without a reliable second option and can he produce versus cornerback jamming. I have no doubts that he will overcome both of these obstacles, but I have serious doubts about his ability to produce with a sub-par QB and not getting the ball his way. It's honestly looking like a lost year for Juju, but Ben will be back next year. Unfortunately, he may not stay healthy and he may not play much, or at all, after that. Still, JuJu is super talented and super young, too. He is on pace to be a hall of fame level player even with this hiccup. This is the lowest he will probably ever be in his career. I would take any reasonable steps possible to acquire him in dynasty. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Smoketheclay 130 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Next week is gonna be the real Juju this season. 1) Rudolph should be back 2) Going against MIA 3) Had the bye week to plan His schedule this season has actually been rough. If he doesn’t go 100+ yards week 8, he is really done this year Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They will throw and take shots against Miami just knowing they will need to be actively working on their passing game as better teams come along. They didn't against Cinci because they were desperate for a win. Or so I like to tell myself..... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fullonchubb 103 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I really hope we see some potential out of his fantasy outlook this week against Miami. We all know he is a great receiver but his situation this year has just destroyed his value. I just want to see signs of life out of this man this week, doesn't even need to have a big fantasy game. Just something for me to hope for. Please. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Telling the coach to run the ball more when they were winning week 6, he just bought all his teammates nice headphones. Dude is a total class act. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tatddy 140 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 If you don’t start JuJu against the Dolphins then you might as well just sell as low as possible right now. Locked and loaded this week hoping for 2 weeks worth of production. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
