Is JuJu Smith-Schuster playing Week 16?

UPDATE: Smith-Schuster is officially ACTIVE.

A groin injury forced Smith-Schuster to miss Friday’s practice and be listed as “questionable” for Sunday’s late-afternoon kickoff in New Orleans, but the man himself weighed in on his status on Twitter:

Well, there you have it. Assuming he has no setbacks, he should be all set to rebound on the fast track of the Superdome this week. The Saints have been playing better defense over the second half, but Smith-Schuster has proven he can produce against anyone. Consider him a borderline WR1.

If he is a surprise scratch, rookie James Washington and the recently activated Eli Rogers will likely see more targets, but neither can be counted on in fantasy championship games.
