As you may have noticed we have transformed Scout into a data and stats driven service geared towards helping invested fans make the right decisions on a daily basis. This is our new Fantasy Scouting Report that we produce for each fantasy relevant player. We treat them like a stock and report their value in season long fantasy, the current fantasy week, and if applicable, on FanDuel and on DraftKings. We establish what is expected of the player based on fantasy ownership %, start %, and DFS Salary and see if our proprietary forecasting model projects a better or worse than expected performance. For complete recaps of the best and worst values for each market (season, weekly, daily), injury reports and team outlooks be sure to check out the new Scout.

2018 FANTASY RECAP AND 2019 FANTASY PROJECTION

JuJu Smith-Schuster was the number #9 ranked WR and the #50 ranked player overall. His elite ranking was helped by his higher games played (16). Based on average fantasy points he is the #11 WR. He was trending up for the season. In his first 5 games he averaged 11.4 FPs. He improved to 13.2 in his final 6 games. Given his youth, he should be able to continue showing improvement next season. His fantasy production is stable and he is not as volatile as most players based on a below average standard deviation. Our projected ceiling for Smith-Schuster when he 'goes off' is 25 fantasy points (his average is 11.8FPs) with a floor of 4 points. JuJu Smith-Schuster (2019 Season Projection: 107 Rec, 1446 Yards, 7.5 TDs) is projected to slightly improve in the upcoming season. His rank based on total projected fantasy points has him as the #6 player at his position.
