• Packers' Jayden Reed: Five catches, three carries in win

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Reed caught five of six targets for 34 yards and rushed three times for 27 yards in Sunday's 30-13 win over the Seahawks. Reed was more involved after seeing just one target in Week 14 against the Lions, as he tied Christian Watson for the team lead in targets and led the Packers in catches, though four teammates had at least 34 receiving yards as well. Reed also produced 10 yards on two punt returns, one of which he muffed for a fumble but managed to get back on top of the ball. The slumping wide receiver will be a touchdown-dependent fantasy option in Week 16 against the Saints given his sporadic recent usage, but Reed's a perennial threat to score considering he has 17 total touchdowns through 30 career regular-season games.

• Packers' Jayden Reed: Bust Alert (Start/Sit)

  7D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  The last time I had Reed in this spot it backfired in Week 13 against Miami when he had 19.7 PPR points. Reed scored two touchdowns against the Dolphins, but he had three catches for 24 yards on six targets. He's been held to three catches or less and 26 yards or less in four games in a row, and he has 12 total targets in his past four outings. He's capable of big games at any moment as we've seen, especially finding the end zone, but the targets haven't been there recently. Christian Watson is becoming a more utilized weapon, and Romeo Doubs (concussion) could return in Week 15. The Packers are also doing a great job running the ball. Along with that, Seattle's defense has been tough on opposing receivers lately, holding Deebo Samuel, Marvin Harrison Jr. twice and Garrett Wilson to 9.1 PPR points or less in the past four games. I would only start Reed in three-receiver leagues in Week 15.

• Packers' Jayden Reed: Gets just one target

  12D ago • By RotoWire

  Reed got one target and finished without a catch in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Lions. Reed played 50 percent of snaps, which ties for his lowest share this season but doesn't fall outside the normal range. It's the seventh time he's logged 50-59 percent of snaps, as he still doesn't get much playing time in formations with fewer than three wide receivers. Reed has just one game all year with more than six targets, making him highly dependent on touchdowns and big plays, especially relative to other WRs that primarily man the slot. He has 12 targets and 73 receiving yards over the past four games, but with three of his eight catches in that span going for touchdowns. Reed will be a high-risk, high-reward lineup option once again Week 15 at Seattle, facing a defense that often uses top cornerback Devon Witherspoon in the slot.

• Packers' Jayden Reed: WRs to Sit

  21D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  Reed could benefit in this game with Romeo Doubs (concussion) out, but Reed has been tough to trust lately. He's had four targets or less in four of his past five games, and he scored less than 10 PPR points in four of those five outings. The Dolphins are No. 2 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and Miami has not allowed a receiver to score a touchdown in three games in a row against the Rams, Raiders and Patriots, with only five touchdowns allowed to receivers all season. I would only start Reed in three-receiver leagues in Week 13.

• Packers' Jayden Reed: Takes three receptions for 26 yards

  24D ago • By RotoWire

  Reed corralled all three of his targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 38-10 win over the 49ers. Unlike last week's two-catch effort, Reed was unable to hit pay dirt against the 49ers and left fantasy managers with paltry production. The speedy sophomore did not record a rushing attempt, and he hasn't had a positive gain as a runner since back in Week 5. Reed still has enough upside on any given week to be worth considering, but he is likely more of a deep-league asset due to his propensity for posting duds heading into Thursday's matchup against the Dolphins.
