Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed will go on the road to take on the Dallas Cowboys in the first round of the NFL playoffs. Reed has dealt with a chest injury but was a full participant all week in practice and was left off of the final injury report. The rookie recorded his first 100-yard receiving game of his career last weekend on just four receptions and enters the weekend as the potential top target for quarterback Jordan Love. Christian Watson (hamstring) is once again listed as questionable, while the rest of the Packers' receiving corps was left off of the final injury report. Reed is set to have the most competition for targets since the early portion of the season, but due to his success down the stretch, he should command a solid target share and could even handle a few carries for good measure. Reed is the top target in DFS when looking at the Packers' depth chart, but he also carries the heftiest price tag.
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed caught all four of his targets and gained 112 yards during Sunday's 17-9 win over the Chicago Bears. The rookie posted the first 100-yard receiving game of his career in Week 18, with the highlight of the night being a 59-yard catch in the fourth quarter that led to a field goal to put the game further out of reach for Chicago. Reed has been a consistent fantasy force since Week 10, putting up double-digit performances in all but one game during that span. Christian Watson (hamstring) should be back next week, but with Romeo Doubs (chest) status now up in the air, Reed will be a popular pickup for those in daily fantasy formats next weekend when the Packers take on the Dallas Cowboys.
Green Bay Packers wide receivers Jayden Reed (chest) and Dontayvion Wicks (chest) are active for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears. Both players had been listed as questionable but were trending in the right direction after practicing all three days this past week. Reed, Wicks, and Romeo Doubs should all see significant opportunities this week with Christian Watson (hamstring) sidelined. Of the group, Reed has the most fantasy appeal, ranking as a high-end WR3.
Green Bay Packers rookie wide receivers Dontayvion Wicks (chest) and Jayden Reed (chest) are both questionable to play in the Week 18 regular season finale on Sunday against the Chicago Bears. Christian Watson (hamstring), who has missed the last four games, is also questionable, but he appears to have a better shot at returning in a must-win game for the Packers. Before getting hurt in the Week 17 win over the Minnesota Vikings, Reed had six catches for 89 yards and two touchdowns with both Watson and Wicks out. Even if Watson returns to action this weekend, Reed, who we expect to play, will be the most expensive and attractive DFS play. The 23-year-old has been a touchdown machine in the second half of his first NFL season and has found the end zone seven times in the last seven games. On the flip side, Chicago isn't friendly to opposing wideouts, so all of Green Bay's receivers have some level of bust potential as well.
Green Bay Packers wide receivers Christian Watson (hamstring) and Jayden Reed (chest) were both limited in practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Watson could be on track to end his four-game absence from a hamstring injury he suffered in Week 13, although a full practice on Friday would really boost his chances even further. Reed, meanwhile, injured his chest in Sunday night's win over the Minnesota Vikings after sitting out of Week 16. Quarterback Jordan Love could have his full complement of weapons at receiver if Watson, Reed and rookie Dontayvion Wicks (chest) are all able to play in a must-win game against the Chicago Bears on Sunday. Watson will be a pretty volatile boom/bust fantasy option if he plays this weekend. Reed, meanwhile will be the most expensive DFS wideout for the Packers after scoring seven times in his last seven games.
