Draft Note by John Paulsen
Reed followed up a WR26 rookie campaign with a WR25 finish last season, continuing to produce despite modest usage in the Packers’ balanced, spread-it-around passing attack. His targets dipped from 5.9 per game to 4.4, but he became more involved in the run game (20 carries for 163 yards and a score), and his efficiency remained strong—he finished 18th in yards per route run and 10th in YAC/rec. Even with Christian Watson recovering from a torn ACL and rookie Matthew Golden stepping in, Reed's role likely won’t change much. He still only plays around 60% of the snaps since he’s not typically on the field in two-WR sets. As a result, he projects for another high-end WR3 finish with occasional spike weeks, but it’s hard to get too excited about his ceiling unless LaFleur unexpectedly features him more prominently.
