GB WR Jayden Reed - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs Los Angeles Rams

Jayden Reed led the Packers in receiving last week with 4 catches for 83 yards on 6 targets. He continues a rollercoaster of a season with Christian Watson back. He's the toughest to project every week given he sees the fewest targets. His aDOT has come down recently with the return of Watson, but will occasionally see a deep target or two.

He remains a flex option, but a risky one given his role, the offense, and the matchup. Reed is startable if you're desperate, but there might be a more consistent option on your bench. With the Rams being 9th in aFPA against wide receivers, it isn't crazy to look elsewhere.

GB WR Jayden Reed - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Minnesota Vikings

Jayden Reed had a miracle touchdown bounce into his arms to salvage his day against the Broncos. He's running third behind Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs in the snaps and targets department and that unfortunately makes him a little tougher to trust.

Against Minnesota, Reed should at least see the snaps as Green Bay could likely be trailing, but coming in at No. 57 in our weekly WR rankings it would be tough to consider him anything more than a desperation flex option this week.

GB WR Jayden Reed - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Denver Broncos/strong>

Jayden Reed has been the player most impacted by the return of Christian Watson. Unfortunately for Reed, he's seen his targets drop from 8 to 7 to 5 to 2 over the previous four weeks before the bye. While this is a solid matchup for Reed and the pass-catchers, this is a bit of a desperate play.

If it weren't for the bye-week situation, I'd be hesitant to start Reed this week. However, given the six teams on bye, he does hold some flex appeal. If you're missing a receiver or two this week, I can understand starting Reed given the matchup, but be prepared for disappointment.

GB WR Jayden Reed - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Las Vegas Raiders

Jayden Reed took a bit of a backseat to Romeo Doubs again in Week 4. While Reed was still second in targets, we have to assume when Christian Watson is fully healthy he'll also be behind him in the pecking order as well. That said, Reed is seeing deep targets and leads the Packers' top three receivers with a 13.57 aDOT.

Reed is on the flex radar this week, but I would be looking for other options if available. If you have a few Chargers or Browns you might not really have a choice but to start Reed.

GB WR Jayden Reed - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Detroit Lions

Jayden Reed has stepped into the starting lineup and not looked out of place at all as a Day 2 rookie. Reed leads the Packers in receiving yards and is tied for the team lead in targets (with Romeo Doubs). While, Reed while likely lose target share with Christian Watson and Aaron Jones returning, he's definitely worth hanging onto.

Reed is a higher-upside flex option than some of the receivers ranked around him thanks to a solid matchup and his big-play ability. There's a bit of a leap of faith here as we aren't sure what his role will be with Watson returning, but it's at least worth exploring if you lack better options.

GB WR Jayden Reed - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. New Orleans Saints

Jayden Reed rewarded those who went after him on waivers or played him in DFS this week. Despite the low total and slow pace, Reed made quite the statement in Week 2 against a tough Falcons secondary. Even more impressive, he's looked this good and is still only playing 67% of snaps through two weeks. However, his 29% targets per routes run are quite good. That will drop if Christian Watson returns this week, but it's something to keep an eye on.

Reed would be on the border of a WR3/Flex option this week if Watson were to miss and would be more of a Flex option if Watson were to return. Being in the slot he should avoid Marshon Lattimore for much of the day, hopefully.

GB WR Jayden Reed - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Atlanta Falcons

Jayden Reed tied Romeo Doubs for the most targets of the week (5) in Week 1, but was only able to secure two of his five targets. However, with an aDot of 18.4 and 32% of the Packers' air yards, Reed has big-play ability and Jordan Love will look to take some shots against Atlanta.

Reed likely isn't in Flex consideration yet, coming in at 43rd amongst receivers this week in half-point PPR scoring ranks, but he could be a deep GPP flier in DFS. The slower pace of Atlanta hurts the Green Bay passing game a bit more this week, especially coming in as road favorites.
