Who Should I Start? Jayden Reed or Matthew Golden

Saturday, September 20, 2:17 PM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (collarbone, foot) has officially been placed on Injured Reserve, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. This move comes as no surprise after Reed suffered a fractured collarbone in Week 2. He had also been attempting to play through a Jones fracture in his foot, so Reed underwent operations on both injuries earlier this week. The IR placement guarantees Reed will miss at least four games, but he's almost certain to be out significantly longer than that. Without him, Packers wide receivers Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks, and Matthew Golden could all see a bump in both snaps and target volume. Reed could be stashed in fantasy leagues that offer an IR spot, but there's no guarantee he will be able to return in time to make an impact later this season.

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Matthew Golden (hip) was added to Friday's injury report and was a limited participant in practice, according to the team. The severity of Golden's injury is currently unknown, but a late-week addition to the injury report isn't ideal and puts his status in question for Sunday Night Football against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The first-round pick out of Texas has been highly efficient so far this season, recording 18 receptions for 249 yards on 23 targets. He is still searching for his first career touchdown, but he will get a good opportunity to find the end zone in Week 8 if he can suit up. The Steelers have allowed the ninth most PPR points per game to opposing wide receivers, and just allowed Ja'Marr Chase to rack up 16 catches for 161 yards and a touchdown in Week 7.
