Jayden Reed
WR - Green Bay Packers
Expert Note
View More NotesJordan Love is expected to miss somewhere between 3-4 weeks, as the Packers did not put him on IR. However, LeFleur isn't ruling him out of this week, although this seems like just gamesmanship than anything set in reality. Malik Willis will start in his place. Willis joined the Packers on August 26th in a trade for a 7th-round pick. Love's go-to receiver in Week 1 was Jayden Reed, who was explosive throughout the game. Reed caught 4 of 6 targets for 138 yards, including a massive 57 yards after the catch (YAC) and a highlight-reel 33-yard touchdown. Reed showed his versatility, adding a 33-yard run for a touchdown on his only rushing attempt. Reed commanded over 100 air yards and ran a route on 73% of the dropbacks. As for what managers need to do in the Packers QB situation.... For me, it's still to buy Reed. Through Week 1, he leads the NFL in receiving yards (not counting MNF). Not saying this is sustainable, but it's just a reminder of how great Reed is as a player. He is the "scheme touch" player in the Packers offense. I'm less concerned about his production with a backup QB. He might not even have to be someone you need to start anyway. The Love injury has opened a buying window for Reed. Take advantage.

Fantasy Impact
Reed looked impressive in the game, ripping off several long plays and showing off elusiveness and tackle-breaking abilities on both of his touchdowns. Jordan Love spread the ball around to his many receivers in the game but Reed is clearly going to be one of the top targets in Green Bay. He will be a great fantasy play in Week 2 against a Colts defense that struggled to prevent big plays in 2023.
