Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster is one of the most likable guys in the NFL, as he is very accessible, great with the media and the fans, and does not take himself too seriously.

He is also known for being an avid Fantasy Football player, and this year, he is hosting a league in which he says he will be drafting himself with his first-round selection:

Can't say I blame him.

First of all, it's awesome to have that much confidence in yourself. Second, with Antonio Brown now playing for the Oakland Raiders, Smith-Schuster should get even more targets in 2019, which could raise his value.

The 22-year-old is coming off of a 2018 campaign in which he played all 16 games and hauled in 111 receptions for 1,426 yards and seven touchdowns, making the Pro Bowl as a result.

Smith-Schuster, who played his collegiate football at the University of Southern California, was originally selected by the Steelers in the second round (62nd pick overall) of the 2017 NFL Draft.

He went on to have a terrific rookie year, appearing in 14 contests and catching 58 passes for 917 yards and seven scores.

Of course, the argument can be made that Brown's absence will actually end up hurting Smith-Schuster, as he is sure to draw more attention from defenses now that Brown is no longer around. But, chances are, Smith-Schuster is good enough to have a big year so long as he stays healthy.

As for the Steelers? They went 9-6-1 this past season and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2013.
