JuJu Smith-Schuster was a highly productive receiver through his first two seasons, and in his third was on pace for 1100 yards before nagging and Devlin Hodges limited his production. In 2020 Smith-Schuster didn’t have a great statistical season, but was one of Ben Roethlisberger’s most reliable receivers, catching over 75% of balls thrown his way. This past week was a different experience, as Smith-Schuster only recorded 2 catches on 8 targets for 11 yards.
That 25% catch rate is the lowest Smith Schuster has ever posted, and the only time Ben Roethlisberger and JuJu Smith-Schuster both played and Smith-Schuster had fewer than 2 receptions was Week 1 of 2017, when in his first game the young wide receiver was not targeted.
