WR BUY LOWS - THREAD 1) Juju Smith-Schuster - @FF_BDonley
2) Coutland Sutton - @FF_BDonley
3) Laviska Shenault - @FF_Towny
4) Denzel Mims - @FF_Towny
1) Smith-Schuster is a clear buy low candidate for us this offseason. After the hype about being the dynasty WR1 in 2018, he had a very disappointing season in 2019 as he dealt with atrocious QB play, but showed he is a valuable dynasty asset in 2020 with a better QB under center
Juju just turned 24 years old and has been WR20 or better in 3 of his first 4 years with one being a WR1 finish. PIT’s passing offense this year was abysmal, resulting in Diontae Johnson and Juju to have an aDOT that was among the worst of all WRs in the league.
Juju’s aDOT in 2020 was a lackluster 5.8 yards. That is 3 whole yards less then his aDOT of 2018. He ranked #15 in targets, battling with Johnson, Claypool and Ebron. This sub-optimal passing offense produced 3 WRs in the top 24. and a TE who ranked 8th in targets at the position
Juju’s situation can not get any worse and he put up a consistent year with the exception of a few weeks. We do not expect PIT to resign Juju Smith-Schuster, which is probably the best case scenario for fantasy purposes but if they do, he still gives you a solid WR2 .
The top possible landing spots for Juju are Miami, New York Giants or Green Bay. We only expect his value to go up if he does sign with a new team. We recommend you go out and send some offers to the Juju managers in your leagues!
2) Courtland Sutton
Sutton will be a buy low all offseason after suffering a torn ACL in January and the addition of Jerry Jeudy. Let’s not forget the type of year Sutton had in 2019, and that was with Flacco and Lock under center, yikes.
Sutton will be a buy low all offseason after suffering a torn ACL in January and the addition of Jerry Jeudy. Let’s not forget the type of year Sutton had in 2019, and that was with Flacco and Lock under center, yikes.
Sutton is an alpha receiver and will show that when he returns to play in 2021. 2019, Sutton put up a stat line of 72 receptions for 1112 yards & 6 TDs. He ranked 12th in yards per pass route, 9th in RZ targets & 11th in deep targets while being targeted 126 times on the year.
These are not Kenny G numbers but they are nice to see nonetheless. Sutton did this while being shadowed by the best corners of every team, now he will be lined up across from Jeudy, who is a spectacular route runner himself.
If Lock is under center next year for DEN, we expect him to heavily target Sutton and Jeudy as they will be trailing the majority of the games. We don’t think Lock is the long term guy in DEN, and they may seek a QB in the upcoming draft which is only a plus for Sutton’s outlook.
He is a very solid WR that is not as pricey as he would be if he were to have played in 2020, so with his price point, he is an appealing trade target for dynasty managers. He is only 25 yrs old and will be a top 20 WR in the league for years to come. Go snag him while you can!
3) Laviska Shenault
Shenault was one of the few standouts on a fairly lackluster team in Jacksonville this year. Through 14 games, he saw 79 targets with 58 receptions for 600 yards and 5 Touchdowns, which equates to 10.3 yards per reception this year.
Shenault was one of the few standouts on a fairly lackluster team in Jacksonville this year. Through 14 games, he saw 79 targets with 58 receptions for 600 yards and 5 Touchdowns, which equates to 10.3 yards per reception this year.
With the revolving door of quarterbacks in Jacksonville, Shenault found a way to be a fairly impactful player in his rookie season and has proven he can be a solid WR2 and bright spot within that Jacksonville offensive unit.
Shenault has an extremely huge upside going into the 2021 season with an outstanding rookie quarterback presumably coming in with the #1 pick in the draft. T. Lawrence is the consensus 1st QB off the board & with that we will see Shenault’s stock continue to rise.
We project Laviska to breakout next year. Shenault has also shown us since his collegiate days that he is some sort of “swiss army knife” within an offense, he had 18 rush attempts for 91 yards allowing us to make the comp to a WR such as Deebo Samuel, a known multi-tool athlete.
We predict Shenault to take a huge leap in production with a stable QB and the benefit of a new coach coming into JAX. Look for a great Sophomore season and try your best to get him now, the trade value of shenault does not match his actual potential as a dynasty asset.
Many people have fallen victim to thinking that Jacksonville is a no man's land for any offensive weapons. but with Trevor Lawrence incoming we will hopefully see that turn around.
4) Denzel Mims
Mims had a fairly good season in the small sample size we saw from him in 2020. Mims in 9 games saw 44 targets totalling in 23 receptions for 357 yards, which results in 15.5 YPC which is just slightly behind 2020 class’ breakout receiver Justin Jefferson.

Mims only played 9 games, but has shown the breakaway speed as well as tremendous route running. He is a well rounded WR and is looking to be WR1 with New York come 2021. With the most promising class ahead for the 2021 draft, and the potential for Justin Fields or Zach Wilson.
We can look forward to Denzel Mims getting a huge bump in production as well as usage. Mims may be one of the most underrated and unrecognized receivers within the 2020 class but nonetheless he has proven he can produce and be a glimmer of hope for a continuously sad Jets team.
With Fields/Wilson on the horizon and the Jets having tremendous cap space we can only hope they use it correctly. We’ve only seen a small sample size of Mims and he's proven that he’s a very good hold, and a nice piece to trade for because his asking price will not be high.
Try your best to buy stock in Mims and watch it grow as the draft approaches, and expect a quality season out of a bright young star.
