wiffleball 4,640 Posted May 8, 2019 Guessing there's a thread on this, but I haven't seen it. Do you think he steps up? Or does he fold under the pressure that AB used to take away from him? Thanks. I'll hang up now and listen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,460 Posted May 8, 2019 What would be your guess? , to the OP. I think he’s going to have a outstanding season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frozenbeernuts 1,652 Posted May 8, 2019 He will be good imo. We don't often see players fold after they start their careers strong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Super Cubs 132 Posted May 8, 2019 I'm more curious as to who step up as the #2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,460 Posted May 8, 2019 That is indeed the biggest question mark on the Steelers, who’s going to be the wr2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray_T 591 Posted May 9, 2019 I'm not worried about juju. if you look back at the pittsburgh receivers, the vast majority of the WR's playing during the years Rothlisberger was the starter had their best statistical years while playing in pittsburgh. Santonio Holmes Plaxico burress Mike wallace Martavious bryant. all 4 had better stats overall while in Pittsburgh than they did on other teams. some had a good season here or there, but most performed far better with Rothlisberger at the helm. To me this is a statement on how good a QB he is. This also would suggest what I think is going to happen to Antonio Browns stats now that he has left the Steelers. the only WR to buck the trend was Emanuel Sanders who performed better playing with Manning in Denver than he did in Pittsburgh. I do think Juju will do well, and I also think another WR will emerge and perform well as the #2. I'm calling it now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brutal Brutus 182 Posted May 9, 2019 The Steelers are an offensive machine. They just replace the parts and keep on going. Ju Ju is probably the best bet on that offense to duplicate or improve on last seasons numbers. I think the real question(s) are, who emerges as the #2 WR? And does Conner continue to be a three down back, or has Samuels carved out a role going forward? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or does he fold under the pressure that AB used to take away from him? Thanks. I'll hang up now and listen. Just my opinion but I think the answer is somewhere in between and how '19 Juju compares to '18 Juju will be very dependent upon how the Steelers decide to approach formations which I don't know, maybe someone else has clarity. Juju had over half of his snaps in the slot where he excelled. Will the Steelers move him to flanker to replace Brown's spot in most alignments? If they do, he will be facing an opponents top corner most of the time and he will find it much more difficult to get open than he has inside. If Ds also give him Antonio treatment by shading other coverage I'm pretty high conviction he will have a tough time because he isn't that level of route runner, so there's shot he will be considered a bust by those who draft him high this year. If the Steelers continue to give him most of his snaps out of the slot I suspect those who draft him will do fine but it will happen on more targets with less efficiency without Antonio to draw extra attention. The matchups are better inside and its tough to double cover but I could see teams shading coverage especially at crunch. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,460 Posted May 11, 2019 I think there is a lot of room for juju to out produce last season and have his best season ever, if Ben stays healthy. Gone is also Browns 15 td rec, juju should score more then the 7 td rec he had last season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smileseers 54 Posted May 13, 2019 Diontae Johnson will be the #2 wr in Pittsburgh. Taken #66 with the pick received from the Antonio Brown trade, Diontae has a similar skill set to AB and will take his position on the field. He's a playmaker, good route runner with very good field awareness with quickness off the line of scrimmage. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sderk 1,040 Posted May 14, 2019 Juju a second rounder in a PPR? Maybe. Unless there is an early run on RBs as there are not a lot to go around this year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,460 Posted May 14, 2019 Unless the league is smaller then let’s say 10 teams, JuJu is diffently a second rounder. Been doing some 14 team non ppr mocks, and teams drafting late have been taking juju in the first round in some of those mocks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Bard 11 Posted July 21, 2019 Clearly a case where the QB makes stars out of the WR's. Big Ben is elite. Juju will get top corners this year blah blah blah. He is a star with BB throwing to him. No concerns here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sderk 1,040 Posted July 29, 2019 It's open as far as I am concerned. Some very good #2s don't become very good #1s by default when someone leaves the team. I'm not paying too high for him but I do think he could be good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,460 Posted July 29, 2019 His price should be top 5 WRs. If he’s their on the turn and I have a late pick, I’m taking him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pinesprings 7 Posted July 31, 2019 after the 1st round which is all the keepers in our 12 man league I expect JuJu, Tyrek Hill, and Kelce to be where I pick at 2:6 The reason these guys are sticking around still at 2:6 is some of the 12 have weak keepers....ie one guy has either fournette or mixon to keep. I am keeping Davante Adams over David Johnson in ppr just because i feel Davante is super consistent, safe and can be the top wr. at this point the rbs are blah at 2:6 so I would take JuJu 1st to pair with Davante, then Kelce, then Tyrek. feel Tyrek may have a lil Karma this year. with all that rambling could easily see JuJu with 95-1250 10td Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weepaws 2,460 Posted August 4, 2019 I think Chubb will be a top five rb this season, but I also think juju will be a top five wr. So it comes down to your own personal rankings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kilroy69 994 Posted August 4, 2019 Ben likes to use one wr heavily and then one to take the lid off. Till last year that was his M.O. The 2 reasons why Brown was so good is that he ran precision routes. He was where ben wanted him to be . Juju also runs his routes very well. And he has a Qb that can and WILL throw it. Ben being a fuxking giant also means that he stands in the pocket for passes that other qbs would bail on. I would love to land juju in round 3 of my superflex.

weepaws 2,460 Posted August 6, 2019 I would rank Kelce as the number one te. I would trust JuJu over T Hill, based on the on going case that T Hiss is still involved in. That case is still open, and who knows what might happen as time goes on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pinesprings 7 Posted August 22, 2019 read on rotoworld juju is lining up outside more and not in the slot. Will this header him or will ben force feed targets to him regardless and he will have a similar season to last year which was wr 1 stats? Im contemplating taking either Tyrek Hill or JuJu in ppr? tough choice. Kelce is a possibility too where we start 3 wr/te. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
listen2me 23 1,542 Posted August 22, 2019 Juju will have an elite season. My only concern is his health. Not because he is injury prone but he plays the game hard and isnt afraid toake the tough catches over the middle. Or block and piss defenders off. His style will get him banged up perhaps.

Im contemplating taking either Tyrek Hill or JuJu in ppr? tough choice. Kelce is a possibility too where we start 3 wr/te. Ju Ju took 59% of his passes out of the slot last season, per Rotoworld. He was incredibly successful though when out wide, one of the best in the game last season, also per Rotoworld. I own Ju Ju in my largest dynasty league. Last year, I wasn't worried at all. This season, I'm wondering how he will deal with the double coverages and the top opposing Corners. It's a big step up. I think he will be fine though, just some early season jitters on my end. In recent Steeler history, the next guy up at WR has seemingly outdone the guy before him. I can see him putting up incredible numbers, but could also see him being limited to what he did last season, which is just fine as well. Either way, he's too talented to flop and they have a decent group of WR's which should open things up a bit for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
