Though the Redskins have yet to give any indication of tight end Jordan Reed's status for Week 15 at Atlanta, bringing him back probably isn't the biggest priority in a lost season. He's already suffered one setback in his return from a concussion, and it's not like Logan Paulsen has performed poorly in his absence, scoring a touchdown in back-to-back games.
Whichever player starts at tight end for the Redskins will have a favorable matchup. The Falcons rank 20th against the pass, allowing 245.8 yards per game, and have given up the seventh-most Fantasy points to tight ends.
Of course, matchup data only counts for so much. The one with the greatest say in how the Redskins tight ends perform in Week 15 is quarterback Kirk Cousins, who is starting over Robert Griffin III for the first time this season. Cousins played the entire fourth quarter last week against the Chiefs but was inefficient, completing 7 of 16 passes for 59 yards.
If Reed ends up playing, his upside makes him almost impossible to sit in Fantasy, but in the more likely scenario that Paulsen plays, he's a gamble in Fantasy despite the favorable matchup and touchdown-scoring streak.
