Who Should I Start? Jayden Reed or Tank Dell

Tuesday, November 4, 9:33 PM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (collarbone, foot) has been on Injured Reserve since suffering a broken collarbone in Week 2. Reed also underwent foot surgery, so he's recovering from multiple injuries. Still, it appears as though the 25-year-old could be nearing a return. Across 17 games in 2024, Reed recorded 55 catches for 857 yards and six touchdowns on 75 targets. He'll join a crowded Packers wide receiver room upon his return and should see stiff competition for playing time and targets from Romeo Doubs, Christian Watson, and Matthew Golden. However, Green Bay lost star tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) to a torn ACL in Week 9, potentially opening up opportunities in the passing game. Reed may not be active for his team's Week 10 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, but he still may be worth adding off the waiver wire now in fantasy leagues with 12 or more teams.

Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell (knee) has been steadily rehabbing from the gruesome injury he suffered late last season against the Chiefs, working his way back toward full strength. During Houston's Week 3 broadcast, analyst Ross Tucker mentioned that he saw Dell running sprints, which is an encouraging sign in his recovery process. The 25-year-old has been on the sideline during a recent Texans game, but there is still no clear sign of him returning anytime soon. For now, the Texans will continue to rely on Nico Collins, who left Monday night with a concussion, along with rookies Jaylin Noel, Jayden Higgins, and Xavier Hutchinson at receiver.
