Jayden Reed Can Carve Out Sizable Role in Return

Sunday, December 7, 7:48 AM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (foot, shoulder) has been activated from injured reserve and will play in Week 14 against the Chicago Bears, instantly putting him back on the fantasy radar for the final stretch of the 2025 season. Reed has been sidelined since Week 2, when he only played a handful of snaps before getting injured. His performance in the season opener was impressive, as he caught three passes for 45 yards and a touchdown in Week 1. The biggest obstacle between Reed and a fantasy-relevant role is Christian Watson, who has 13 catches, 175 yards, and two touchdowns over his last three games. Aside from Watson, though, players like Romeo Doubs, Matthew Golden, and Dontayvion Wicks don't pose a major threat of competition to Reed. In his first game back, he'll get a juicy matchup against the Bears, who have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points and third-most receiving touchdowns to wide receivers in 2025. Reed could be deployed as a low-end WR3/flex in most fantasy leagues.
