Jayden Reed Listed as a Non-Participant on Monday Injury Report

Monday, September 21, 5:49 PM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (neck/back) was listed as a non-participant on the team's Monday injury report, per Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Green Bay did not actually hold a practice on Monday, so the injury report is an estimate of Reed's status ahead of the team's Week 3 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday Night Football. Reed was carted off the field with a neck/back injury after taking a hit during his team's Week 2 win over the New York Jets. While the team has not ruled Reed out, it would be a surprise to see him suit up against Atlanta given the quick turnaround. If Reed is indeed inactive, Packers wideouts Christian Watson and Matthew Golden, as well as tight end Tucker Kraft, could dominate target share in Week 3.

Matthew Golden Taking First Steps Toward Year 2 Breakout

Saturday, September 19, 8:37 PM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden will look to build on his existing momentum during Sunday's Week 2 contest against the New York Jets. After a relatively disappointing rookie season, Golden took a huge step forward in Week 1 of the 2026 season with six catches for 95 yards. He's working on solidifying himself as the No. 2 receiver behind Christian Watson and ahead of Jayden Reed, and another big game on Sunday would help that effort. The Jets posed a tough matchup for the Titans last week, but we wouldn't be surprised to see their secondary get exposed by a combination of Watson and Golden. The 23-year-old Texas product remains a high-end WR3/flex while continuing to build his track record in Year 2. Specifically, he ranks as the WR31 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy football rankings for Week 2. He can be started in most leagues with 10+ teams.
