Jayden Reed News
Monday, August 24, 8:42 PM
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed opened his career with back-to-back top-30 fantasy finishes at his position, but injuries essentially ruined his 2025 season. Now, he's looking to get back on track and carve out fantasy relevance in the Packers' receiver room. The good news for Reed is that Romeo Doubs has departed for New England, creating 85 vacated targets that are up for grabs. The bad news is that a large portion of that volume could end up going to Matthew Golden and Christian Watson, two young pass-catchers who are trending up and, unlike Reed, were healthy enough for most of last season to form a solid rapport with quarterback Jordan Love. Meanwhile, tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) is working his way back from an ACL tear; he's arguably the most talented pass-catcher in Green Bay, so his return to action could also have a negative effect on Reed's outlook. With that being said, Reed is holding his own as the WR34 in RotoBaller's latest half-PPR rankings for 2026. That puts him five spots behind Watson and 11 spots ahead of Golden in redraft leagues.

Bhayshul Tuten News
Sunday, August 23, 8:26 PM
Sports Illustrated's John Shipley wrote that it "felt like" Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten "caught as many passes on Sunday as he has all training camp." The Jaguars were clearly focusing on the passing game, and Tuten "looked good as a receiver out of the backfield." It is important to mention that second-year pass-catching back LeQuint Allen Jr. (undisclosed) is currently missing from action due to an undisclosed soft-tissue injury. It is unclear right now if Allen's injury will jeopardize his availability for the start of the 2026 regular season, but if it does, it would be a plus for Tuten's overall fantasy football upside. The 23-year-old former fourth-rounder last year from Virginia Tech ran for 307 yards and five touchdowns on 83 carries while adding only 10 catches for 79 yards and two more TDs in 15 games in his rookie campaign in 2025. Tuten is the team's highest-upside and most explosive fantasy back, but his overall upside will be limited while sharing early-down and potentially goal-line work with Chris Rodriguez Jr. And when healthy, Allen is expected to be the Jags' primary passing-down back. RotoBaller has Tuten ranked as the No. 25 fantasy RB in 2026.
