Who Should I Start? Jayden Reed or Tucker Kraft

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 tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns. Kraft suffered a knee injury during practice earlier in the week but was able to progress enough not to miss any action. Through the first two weeks of this season, Kraft has enjoyed a strong start as he has found the back of the end zone twice and caught eight of his 11 targets for 140 yards. Much of his yardage total in Week 2 came when he tallied 124 during their victory over the Washington Commanders. Despite his injury, fantasy managers should feel confident starting Kraft in all formats as a high-end TE1, as he should remain a top target in the passing game for Jordan Love.
