Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Jalen Reagor has been elevated from the practice squad ahead of the Week 8 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. The Chargers have decided to bring up both Reagor and Jaylen Johnson with multiple wideouts banged up. Right now, Quentin Johnston (ankle) is considered doubtful for Sunday while Ladd McConkey (hip) remains questionable for Sunday. Despite the injuries, it's hard to imagine Reagor or Johnson having a significant role in the offense. Both players are likely getting brought up as depth, so fantasy managers should look elsewhere for a streaming option for Sunday.

The Los Angeles Chargers signed free-agent wide receiver Jalen Reagor to their practice squad on Monday, according to a source. The Chargers are adding some depth at the receiver position with DJ Chark (hip) currently on Injured Reserve and after Joshua Palmer (calf, elbow) missed the Week 3 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Reagor, a former first-round pick by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2020 out of TCU, has not lived up to his draft stock in the NFL and failed to catch on with the New England Patriots out of training camp after catching only seven passes for 138 yards and no touchdowns in 11 games for the Pats in 2023. Even if Reagor joins the active roster for the Week 4 contest against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs, he won't be a realistic fantasy option in his first game with LA. For now, he'll be WR depth behind Quentin Johnston and rookies Ladd McConkey and Brenden Rice.

New England Patriots wide receiver Jalen Reagor was released by from the practice squad on Tuesday. Reagor had yet to play in a game this season and had voiced his frustrations on social media. The former first-round pick spent 2023 with the Patriots but only recorded seven receptions for 138 yards. Now Reagor will have to try to find a new home. Given his complete lack of involvement in the offense, this move has no implications for fantasy football.

The New England Patriots are re-signing wide receiver Jalen Reagor to a one-year, $1.3 million deal that included $442,500 in guarantees. The 2020 No. 21 overall pick by the Philadelphia Eagles has hauled in 79 of his 147 targets for 937 yards and four touchdowns through the first 56 games of his career. After four NFL seasons of lackluster production, he's unlikely to break out anytime soon. However, New England has one of the worst wide receiver groups in the NFL, so he could see plenty of playing time if the organization doesn't bring in significant updates via free agency or the 2024 NFL Draft. For now, Reagor is not on the fantasy radar.

New England Patriots wide receiver Jalen Reagor turned six targets into just one catch for 33 yards during Sunday's loss to the New York Jets. He also added a 17-yard rush. Reagor led all Patriots wide receivers in targets and yards on Sunday, but that's not saying an awful lot considering how much the passing game faltered. Reagor won't be a priority re-signing for the Patriots this offseason, and it's hard to envision a scenario in which he has fantasy relevance next year.

There is more opportunity in the New England Patriots pass-catching group now that receiver Kendrick Bourne (knee) is done for the year with a torn ACL. Wideouts Jalen Reagor, rookie Demario Douglas and JuJu Smith-Schuster are now the top three pass-catchers on the depth chart, with second-year receiver Tyquan Thornton and rookie Kayshon Boutte next in line. Thornton was a healthy scratch in the Week 8 loss to the Miami Dolphins, and Boutte has been inactive since Week 1. Reagor drew praise from head coach Bill Belichick for his work as a scout-team receiver and he was signed to the active roster last week. The speedy former first-rounder has a chip on his shoulder and feels like he has nothing to lose. Douglas is the more attractive fantasy dart throw off the waiver wire. He's a quick slot receiver whose playing time has spiked the last two weeks (13 targets).

New England Patriots practice squad wide receiver Jalen Reagor is joining the team's active roster. The former first-round pick has already played in two games for New England this season and caught one pass for 11 yards in Week 7. Reagor has been earning the praise of coach Bill Belichick, playing 25 offensive snaps in the team's upset win over the Buffalo Bills. He joined New England's practice squad after being cut by Minnesota in the preseason. Reagor does not hold fantasy football value in any format.

New England Patriots wide receiver Jalen Reagor has been elevated to the active roster ahead of the Week 7 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. This move makes sense with both JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) and Demario Douglas (concussion) both sidelined this weekend. Reagor was also promoted to the active roster last week and saw 14 offensive snaps and zero targets. It's tough to imagine the former first-round having reliable fantasy value this week.
Oct 21, 2023 9:34 PM EST
The New England Patriots have signed wide receiver Jalen Reagor to their practice squad. Reagor was waived by the Minnesota Vikings earlier this week. The 24-year-old has failed to live up to the hype of being drafted 21st overall by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2020. Last season, he finished with eight receptions for 104 yards and a touchdown in 17 games with the Vikings. He was mainly used as a kicker returner last season. If anyone can turn around an underperforming young talent it's going to be Bill Belichick. Reagor is unlikely to have much fantasy value right away, but maybe the Patriots can help get his career back on track.

Wide receiver Jalen Reagor will be looking for a new team after getting waived by the Minnesota Vikings. Minnesota acquired the former first-round pick from the Philadelphia Eagles last offseason but he finished the season with a career-low eight catches. The Vikings were reportedly receiving calls from other teams about acquiring Reagor via a trade. If that's the case, the ex-TCU Horned Frog could find a landing spot soon.
Aug 30, 2023 9:51 AM EST
The Minnesota Vikings have received calls inquiring about the availability of former first-round wide receiver Jalen Reagor, according to a source. The Vikings acquired him from the Philadelphia Eagles about a year ago, and he went on to catch a career-low eight passes on 13 targets for 104 yards and one touchdown in 17 games (zero starts) for the Vikings in 2022. With All-Pro Justin Jefferson, rookie first-rounder Jordan Addison and K.J. Osborn ahead of him on Minnesota's receiver depth chart entering the 2023 regular season, Reagor will have a minimal role on offense if he remains in Minnesota. Even if he's traded to another team, though, the 24-year-old probably won't suddenly be on the fantasy radar. In the preseason with Minnesota, Reagor caught eight of his 11 targets for 93 yards.
Aug 29, 2023 11:11 AM EST
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Reagor caught both of his targets for 28 yards in the team's 18-17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Saturday. The former first-round pick finished with the second-most receiving yards for the Vikings in this one, as the offense put together just 178 yards through the air. Reagor will have his work cut out for him to earn targets in the pass-heavy Minnesota offense, as Justin Jefferson, T.J. Hockenson, Jordan Addison, and K.J. Osborn all figure to be ahead of him for looks from quarterback Kirk Cousins. The speedster would need someone ahead of him to miss time to have any fantasy relevance, so he can be left off the radar for the time being. He has shown some flashes in the past, but it will be a challenge for the former Eagle to earn playing time this season.
Aug 26, 2023 5:13 PM EST
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Reagor paced the team in targets during Saturday night's 24-16 loss to the Tennessee Titans, as the 24-year-old turned five targets into two catches for 10 yards. The former Philadelphia Eagle will have a hard time drawing targets as we head to the regular season, as Justin Jefferson, T.J. Hockenson, Jordan Addison, and K.J. Osborn are clearly ahead of the former first-round pick for looks from quarterback Kirk Cousins. The Vikings also brought in N'Keal Harry, so the competition for targets in this pass-heavy offense is too steep to offer any fantasy value for the speedy wideout. Reagor can be left off the fantasy radar as he heads into his fourth season.
