New York Jets
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Reed has been remarkably consistent over the last three years, spanning his last season in Seattle and the first two seasons of his three-year contract with the Jets. The 27-year-old cornerback has posted 9-12 passes defensed and 76-80 tackles in each of those three seasons. Reed has developed into an excellent cover corner opposite Sauce Gardner, and their strong play on the outside coupled with Michael Carter's effectiveness in the slot has helped the Jets allow the fewest yards to wide receivers in each of the past two seasons.

Reed finished the regular season with 64 tackles (52 solo), including 1.0 sacks, along with 11 pass defenses over 14 games (all starts).
ANALYSIS
Reed had three one-week injury absences during the campaign but otherwise was a reliable part of New York's secondary, starting all 14 games in which he played. The veteran cornerback paced the Jets with 11 pass defenses, which was his second-highest total over his seven-year career. Reed has reached the end of the three-year contract he signed with New York in 2022, and he indicated in late December that he's ready to test the free-agency waters, per Al Iannazzone of Newsday.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2022
2021
Reed and 2022 Defensive Rookie of the Year Sauce Gardner formed the NFL's most formidable cornerback duo last season, as the Jets allowed the fewest yards in the league to wide receivers. For his part, Reed had 12 passes defensed and one interception, along with 80 tackles (63 solo). The passes defensed and tackle totals both marked career highs for the 26-year-old cornerback. Reed may be even busier in 2023 if Gardner improves further and quarterbacks become more reluctant to throw at the young star.
Reed is expected to start on the outside opposite rookie fourth overall pick Ahmad Gardner after signing a three-year, $33 million contract with the Jets as a free agent. The 28-year-old cornerback had 78 tackles (62 solo), two interceptions and 10 passes defensed for Seattle last season.
Reed came off the non-football injury list and took over as the Seahawks' starting right cornerback Week 8 of last season because both Quinton Dunbar and Tre Flowers were dealing with injuries. Even when those two got healthy, Reed held down the job. The 24-year-old let up a 75.8 passer rating in coverage and finished with 62 tackles, seven pass defenses and two interceptions across 10 games. With Shaquill Griffin now in Jacksonville, Reed has a chance to become the Seahawks' top corner. At the very least, Reed is in line for a full-time role on defense.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set to leave Jets
CBNew York Jets
December 31, 2024
Reed confirmed that he plans to leave the Jets in free agency this offseason, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.
ANALYSIS
The Jets have been one of the most disappointing teams in the NFL this season and there appears to be discord in the locker room. Reed spoke to the media after Sunday's loss to the Bills and didn't shy away from his displeasure by confirming that he won't be back with the Jets in 2025. Sauce Gardner gets most of the attention in the team's secondary, but Reed is an elite cover corner and will get considerable attention on the open market entering his age-29 season.
