Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (shoulder) said on Monday that he will not need surgery on his shoulder after suffering a dislocation late in Sunday's 22-10 wild-card playoff loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. "Thank God for that," Reed said. The 24-year-old slot receiver should be healed in time to take part in the team's offseason workouts this spring. Reed is one of Green Bay's best big-play threats through the air and on the ground, but he was inconsistent yet again as a fantasy commodity in the second half of the season and finished with a 55-857-6 receiving line on 75 targets through 17 regular-season games, adding 163 rushing yards and one TD on the ground on 20 carries. The former second-rounder finished as the WR26 in half-PPR scoring and will open his third season as a boom/bust WR3/flex option for fantasy managers.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (shoulder) left in the third quarter of the wild-card loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday due to a shoulder injury and never returned. Reed looked to be in plenty of pain and was later diagnosed with a shoulder dislocation. Romeo Doubs also suffered a concussion in the same game, and Christian Watson (knee) tore his ACL in Week 18, so quarterback Jordan Love was without his top three receivers at the end of the 22-10 loss. Before injuring his shoulder, the 24-year-old Reed caught four passes for 46 yards on his four targets. He could need surgery, but he should have plenty of time to get fully healed in time for training camp this summer. In his second year in the NFL, the former second-rounder led the Packers in receiving yards (857) and scored six TDs in 17 games. He has big-play abilities but has also been a boom/bust fantasy asset in Green Bay's crowded receiver room.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (shoulder) suffered an injury that caused him to leave the game during the tail end of the third quarter and not return for the rest of the Packers' 22-10 defeat at the hands of the Philadelphia Eagles. Reed took a hard hit after hauling in a 13-yard reception and was ruled questionable to return but ended up not playing another snap for the Packers in their loss. Before exiting the game, Reed caught all four targets for 46 yards which ended up leading the Packers in receiving yards on the afternoon. Reed's production hit a massive snag during the second half of the regular season, and it looked like the Packers were involving him more in the passing game before his untimely exit. Leading the Packers in receiving yards with 857, Reed also hauled in a team-leading 55 receptions in 2024. Reed should be a solid fantasy receiver with upside for 2025 fantasy leagues.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed looks to right the ship following a backslide in regular season production as the Packers head to Philadelphia to play the Eagles in their Wild-Card game on Sunday afternoon. Reed's skills weren't utilized much after the Packers' Week 10 bye as he put up just one fantasy finish among the top 30 wide receivers. In the final eight games of the season, Reed averaged 3.5 targets, 2.4 receptions, and 36 total yards per game as the Packers leaned heavily on the run game. With Christian Watson (knee) out for the season with a torn ACL, there could be more opportunities for targets for the Packers' pass-catchers. Still, Reed is a high-ceiling option that comes with a shockingly low points floor. For playoff contests and DFS, Reed is a boom-or-bust sleeper option during Wild Card Weekend.
Jan 10, 2025 6:27 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed was a solid contributor during the Packers' 24-22 loss at the hands of the Chicago Bears in Week 18. Reed caught both of his targets for 48 yards, the majority coming from a 31-yard deep grab late in the first half from backup quarterback Malik Willis. Also taking three carries for three yards, Reed saw more touches running the ball than in the passing game, which illustrates his second half of the season. The Packers' passing game has been very spotty over the second half of the season and in turn, has made it difficult to rely on any of the top receiving options in the Packers' offense. With the Packers heading to Philadelphia to face the Eagles in the Wild Card round, consider Reed a low-end receiver play for playoff contests.
Jan 5, 2025 5:24 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed has been on a steep backslide in the second half but looks to right the ship against the Chicago Bears in Week 18. Over the last seven games, Reed has been a top-30 fantasy wide receiver just once. In Week 17 against the Minnesota Vikings, Reed caught 1-of-4 targets for seven yards in a disappointing performance. The Packers' passing game has taken a backseat to the run game since Green Bay's Week 10 bye week. With a strong running game featuring a flourishing Josh Jacobs, quarterback Jordan Love hasn't needed to pass as much as when they do, targets are usually spread out amongst multiple weapons. For Week 18, Reed is more of a risky low-end flex for fantasy knowing how low the floor is with the Packers' wide receivers.
Jan 3, 2025 4:46 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed continued his steep backslide in consistency and production as the Packers fell to the Minnesota Vikings 27-25. Reed had been a bit disappointing of late with his fantasy production with a combined eight catches for 110 yards in his last three weeks combined, but he caught his only target for six yards in Green Bay's loss. With Christian Watson (knee) inactive for Week 17's game, the hope was that targets would condense to multiple weapons in the Packers' offense. However, it was Romeo Doubs, not Reed, who was the primary recipient of those looks from quarterback Jordan Love as Doubs led the Packers in targets. Consider Reed a low-end flex option when the Packers host the Chicago Bears in their Week 18 regular season finale.
Dec 29, 2024 8:31 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed could be in line for some more volume than he's received in recent weeks with the Packers heading to U.S. Bank Stadium to take on the Minnesota Vikings. Reed has been an up-and-down fantasy option over the second half of this season with just three games of five or more targets in his last nine games. In Week 17, Reed could see more volume with Christian Watson (knee) questionable for the game. If Watson were to miss Week 17, that would condense the receiving options for Jordan Love and bumps up players like Reed with less players to contend with for targets. The Vikings have given up the most fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers, so the upside for Reed in Week 17 is immense, but passing volume could hold the Packers back as they've been a run-oriented offense this season. Still, consider Reed a flex play with upside against Minnesota.
Dec 27, 2024 4:37 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed was a sizable part of the Packers' 34-0 rout over the New Orleans Saints in Week 16. Reed caught 3-of-4 targets for 76 yards on the evening, including a 37-yard strike early in the fourth quarter and then a 34-yard catch that boosted Reed's night later in the fourth quarter from backup quarterback Malik Willis. Also adding a rushing attempt for five-yard rush, Reed was a big factor for the Packers, but ultimately, the huge lead curbed a lot of the passing work in the second half. With the Packers heading to Minnesota for a divisional showdown against the Vikings in Week 17, Reed is a low-end flex option for fantasy managers due to his boom-or-bust nature over the second half of the season.
Dec 24, 2024 12:30 AM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed had a hot start to his 2024 NFL season but has been stuck in a slump and Reed looks like climb out of it in Week 16 against the New Orleans Saints. Reed has 34 receiving yards or fewer and is averaging less than four targets per game in his last five games. While Reed has three touchdowns in those games, those touchdowns are what is fueling his fantasy value lately, not his target-earning ability. Add in Romeo Doubs returning to the Packers' lineup from concussion protocol last week, and that addition continues to smooth out targets for every other pass-catching option for Green Bay. The Saints have been a middle-of-the-pack team in defending slot receivers this season, so the matchup good. Despite that, Reed is a low-end flex option for fantasy managers given the Packers' focus on the run and dwindling passing-game opportunities.
Dec 21, 2024 4:41 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed was used all over the field and was a solid contributor in the Packers' 30-13 victory over the Seattle Seahawks in Week 15. Reed's Week 14 was one to forget with just one target and zero catches, but he co-led the Packers in targets with Christian Watson this week. Notching five catches for 34 yards on six targets, it wasn't an overly impressive stat line for Reed but combined with his three rushing attempts for 27 yards, he still put up double-digit fantasy points. Reed had as many carries tonight (3) as he has in the last five games combined, so the Packers' renewed focus on involving him in the team's offensive gameplan was evident. Next week, the Packers head home to face the New Orleans Saints where Reed should be considered a low-end WR3 that has a high floor but a low ceiling for fantasy managers.
Dec 16, 2024 12:08 AM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed disappointed fantasy managers last week but looks to right the ship this week as the Packers head to Seattle to face the Seahawks in Week 15. Last week against the Lions, Reed earned just one target and has zero catches for the first time this season. Prior to that, Reed had been a boom-or-bust fantasy option with a 19.7-fantasy point effort in Week 13 with two touchdowns on just 24 yards and three receptions. Seattle has held slot receivers to the sixth-lowest fantasy points per target since Week 11, so while Reed should be started for his massive upside, the floor is very low as well. Reed is a low-end WR3 or a high-end flex play this week for fantasy managers.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed put up a donut for his fantasy managers in the Week 14 loss to the division-rival Detroit Lions last Thursday night, which was especially disappointing with Romeo Doubs (concussion) out. Head coach Matt LaFleur insinuated that the Packers will look to get Reed more involved moving forward with specific packages that make sure he touches the football. "Where we can be better, and I talked to Jayden about this, is just making sure we have some of those plays for him in the game plan where he's tagged to go in there and play wideout. Because he's certainly an impactful player," LaFleur said. Reed, one of the team's best playmakers, only played 50% of the snaps on Thursday and was targeted only once. The 24-year-old could get the squeaky-wheel treatment in Week 15 against the Seattle Seahawks, but he's been boom or bust for fantasy managers all year with one game all year with more than six targets.
Dec 9, 2024 8:33 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed was nowhere to be found in the Packers' 34-31 loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 14. Coming into this matchup with the Lions, Reed was expected to have an excellent game against Detroit, who has been vulnerable as they have given up the most receiving yards to opposing slot wide receivers this season. All the Lions did was completely blank Reed from the stat sheet, as Reed only registered one target and reeled in zero catches on the night. Week 14's game was a disappointing outcome for Reed and the Packers, who only had only 24 dropbacks and just 20 pass attempts. The Packers will have a long week to think about this loss as they'll take on the Seattle Seahawks in Week 15, where Reed will be a volatile fantasy WR3 who will no doubt look to bounce back from this goose-egg.
Dec 6, 2024 12:17 AM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed is coming off a Thanksgiving night where he caught two touchdowns, and he'll look to keep that run going as the Packers head to Ford Field to take on the NFC North-leading Detroit Lions. Reed has been a volatile fantasy asset all season and his utilization has been sporadic too. One week, he's used almost exclusively at the line of scrimmage, the next week he's a deep threat. It's frustrating as a fantasy manager, but despite that, Reed has still been the most stable of the Packers' wide receivers in terms of fantasy scoring. The Lions are in the bottom-half of the NFL in terms of fantasy points allowed to wide receivers, so if I was going to hang my hat on the Packers' receiver on Thursday Night Football, it's Reed. He should be in fantasy lineups as a low-end WR2 with upside in Week 14.
Dec 4, 2024 9:10 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed made the most of his catches in Week 13 as the Packers beat the Dolphins 30-17. Reed earned six targets on the night, catching three of them for 24 yards and scoring two touchdowns on the night. Kicking off the game's scoring was Reed, who caught a three-yard touchdown. Later, inside two minutes remaining in the first half, Reed caught a 12-yard touchdown from Jordan Love. Reed has been hot and cold this season, but he was clearly prioritized in this one. With the Packers heading to the Motor City to take on the rival Detroit Lions next Thursday night, Reed should get mid-range WR2 treatment, knowing his week-to-week production can be spotty.
Nov 29, 2024 12:04 AM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed will draw a tough matchup this Thursday when Green Bay hosts the visiting Miami Dolphins. The second-year wideout is the thirteenth-overall scorer at his position in PPR formats this season, but five of his 11 performances have resulted in single-digit outings. He'll have his hands full this Thanksgiving with a Dolphins defense that's allowed the seventh-fewest receptions to wide receivers in 2024 (118). Though unfortunate news for Green Bay, with teammate Romeo Doubs (concussion) ruled out for the contest, Reed figures to see an uptick in usage. While Miami has been stingy, they've afforded several big performances to tight ends and top-flight wide receivers. Pencil reed in as a WR2 with what should be a higher-than-usual fantasy floor with a more concentrated target share. He's RotoBaller's PPR WR23 for this week's rankings.
Nov 27, 2024 9:28 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed was a minor part of the Packers' 38-10 blowout of the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12. Reed has struggled with consistency all season and in Week 12, it was no different as he earned just three targets, catching all three of them for 26 yards. With the targets for the Packers spread out, Reed's three targets tied Christian Watson for second on the team. Despite that, his low production is no doubt souring fantasy managers who thought they would be getting more big plays out of the second-year pro from Michigan State. With a short turnaround to Thanksgiving Night where the Packers host the Miami Dolphins in Week 13, consider Reed a high-end WR3 for fantasy purposes.
Nov 24, 2024 10:24 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed has been a volatile pass-catching option for the Packers but looks to be on the good side of variance as the Packers host the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12. Reed followed up a Week 9 where he had 113 receiving yards with a dud outing after the team's Week 10 bye. With just two receptions and 23 yards, Reed's performance was very disappointing, but at the very least, he did catch a touchdown to soften the blow. Against slot receivers, the 49ers have been incredibly stout, allowing just the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game. While Reed is the most dynamic pass-catching weapon the Packers have, he hasn't been immune to the team's offensive struggles. For Week 12, Reed is a low-end WR2 that we know has the upside for much more.
Nov 22, 2024 7:02 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed was able to salvage a quiet day on the stat sheet with a touchdown in the Packers' 20-19 victory in Chicago against the Bears. Reed only earned two targets on the afternoon from quarterback Jordan Love, but he caught both of them for 23 yards, including a 15-yard touchdown that kicked off the scoring for the Packers. In addition to the receiving work, Reed also had a rushing attempt but lost five yards. With the Packers set for an NFC showdown with the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12, Reed is more of a mid-range WR2 for fantasy football, as he has to compete with several other players for targets and attention from Love.
