Chase Claypool Fantasy

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie wide receiver Chase Claypool turned in a big game in a 48-37 loss to the Cleveland Browns in the wild-card round of the playoffs on Sunday night. Claypool caught five of seven targets for 59 yards and two touchdowns in the loss, giving him a total of 13 touchdowns in his rookie season. Claypool is teed up to have a huge 2021 season with pending free-agent JuJu Smith-Schuster not expected to re-sign with Pittsburgh. If JuJu does in fact leave, it will vacate 128 targets, many of which will be redistributed to Claypool. Expect him to be a much-hyped asset once the fantasy draft season starts up this summer.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool turned in a big game against the Cleveland Browns in Week 17, turning in five catches for 101 yards and a touchdown in the season finale. He figures to be a problem for the Browns again this weekend when the two sides face off in the Wild Card round of the playoffs. Cleveland's pass defense struggled during the regular season, allowing the eighth-most fantasy points per game to the wide receiver position. Treat Claypool as a high-ceiling WR2 for fantasy playoff contests this weekend.
