Draft note
by John Paulsen
In his rookie season, Jayden Reed finished as the fantasy WR26, though his numbers took a big hit in the eight games that Christian Watson played a full complement of snaps. In those eight games, Reed averaged 3.5 catches for 39 yards and 0.38 touchdowns per game, or 9.7 (half-PPR) fantasy points per game. Those are WR4-type numbers and a far cry from the 4.5 catches for 60 yards and 0.63 touchdowns that he averaged in the eight games that Watson missed or was limited. In those games he averaged 13.5 fantasy points per game, which would have been top 15 at his position. His targets dropped from 6.9 to 4.9 per game when Watson was in the fold. These splits underline the general quandary with the Green Bay receiving corps. It is so deep and talented that Jordan Love will spread the ball around when everyone’s healthy. Watson has seen a hamstring specialist this offseason and they have implemented a plan to equalize the strength of his two hamstrings which is supposed to keep him healthy. Fantasy managers who believe Watson is going to miss a lot of time due to injury can target Jayden Reed as a player who will likely post WR2 numbers while Watson is sidelined. Those managers who believe Watson will stay healthy should avoid Reed at his ADP.

GB WR Jayden Reed - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Minnesota Vikings

After missing last week, Jayden Reed is expected back this week which will be a big help for Jordan Love. Reed, unfortunately, won't be joined by Christian Watson this week, who is currently doubtful to play. Reed has benefitted from Watson's continued absence as he seems to get the carries that Watson usually sees when he's in.

The easiest way to attack the Vikings' blitzing scheme is through wide receivers as they rank 15th in aFPA against the position. It's a tough matchup regardless, but the receivers are in the best position to exceed projections in this matchup. Reed is borderline WR2/3 this week, and with no Watson he should be started confidently.
