Jayden Reed

23-Year-Old Wide ReceiverWR
2023 Fantasy Outlook
The Packers drafted Reed 50th overall this spring after a college career that saw him go for 797 yards as a freshman at Western Michigan and 2,069 yards the following three seasons at Michigan State. He had his best year as a junior with 1,026 yards and 10 TDs, then dropped to 636 yards and five TDs last season while battling foot, hip and back injuries. Reed has a chance at a key role early in his career, joining the youngest WR room in the league with his main competition for playing time being second-year pros Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs. The Packers also have 2023 fifth-rounder Dontayvion Wicks and 2022 seventh-rounder Samori Toure, while the roster doesn't have any older players with NFL starting experience to help new QB Jordan Love.

Scores twice versus Falcons

September 17, 2023
Reed caught four of eight targets for 37 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Falcons.
ANALYSIS
Reed scored his first career touchdown on a nine-yard push pass during the first quarter. He then capped a drive that saw him make a few receptions with a 10-yard touchdown during the third quarter. With top wideout Christian Watson (hamstring) sidelined thus far, Reed has provided a nice playmaking element to Green Bay's offense that should see him remain involved as the third receiver even if Watson returns in Week 3 versus the Saints.
