Juju Smith-Schuster Targeted Seven Times In Week 1 Loss

Juju Smith-Schuster Targeted Seven Times In Week 1 Loss

one year ago

New England Patriots wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster caught four of seven targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 25-20 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Smith-Schuster was second on the team in targets with seven behind only Kendrick Bourne (11) but tied Demario Douglas and Ezekiel Elliott as Mac Jones spread the ball around in Week 1. He averaged just 4.7 yards per target, with his longest reception being 15 yards. Juju should continue to see many targets with DeVante Parker (knee) and Tyquan Thornton (shoulder) sidelined. Smith-Schuster will look to improve against a Dolphins secondary without star cornerback Jalen Ramsey in New England's Week 2 matchup versus the Dolphins.
