Samori Toure, Jayden Reed To Battle For No. 3 Job
Samori Toure and rookie Jayden Reed are expected to battle for the No. 3 job behind Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs, beginning in organized team activities. Toure was only targeted 10 times in 2022, catching five of them for 82 yards and a touchdown. Toure will have an opportunity, but Reed was taken in the second round of the draft for a reason, with his speed, hands and route-running abilities standing out at Michigan State. The rookie is a candidate to fill the slot role after Randall Cobb's departure. Reed is undersized at 5-foot-11, 187 pounds, but his skills are intriguing for those looking to take a late flier in dynasty/keeper leagues.

Jayden Reed Doesn't Need Shoulder Surgery
Jayden Reed (shoulder) said on Monday that he will not need surgery on his shoulder after suffering a dislocation late in Sunday's 22-10 wild-card playoff loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. "Thank God for that," Reed said. The 24-year-old slot receiver should be healed in time to take part in the team's offseason workouts this spring. Reed is one of Green Bay's best big-play threats through the air and on the ground, but he was inconsistent yet again as a fantasy commodity in the second half of the season and finished with a 55-857-6 receiving line on 75 targets through 17 regular-season games, adding 163 rushing yards and one TD on the ground on 20 carries. The former second-rounder finished as the WR26 in half-PPR scoring and will open his third season as a boom/bust WR3/flex option for fantasy managers.

Jayden Reed Suffers Dislocated Shoulder
Jayden Reed (shoulder) left in the third quarter of the wild-card loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday due to a shoulder injury and never returned. Reed looked to be in plenty of pain and was later diagnosed with a shoulder dislocation. Romeo Doubs also suffered a concussion in the same game, and Christian Watson (knee) tore his ACL in Week 18, so quarterback Jordan Love was without his top three receivers at the end of the 22-10 loss. Before injuring his shoulder, the 24-year-old Reed caught four passes for 46 yards on his four targets. He could need surgery, but he should have plenty of time to get fully healed in time for training camp this summer. In his second year in the NFL, the former second-rounder led the Packers in receiving yards (857) and scored six TDs in 17 games. He has big-play abilities but has also been a boom/bust fantasy asset in Green Bay's crowded receiver room.

Jayden Reed Exits Due To Injury, Leads Packers With 43 Receiving Yards
Jayden Reed (shoulder) suffered an injury that caused him to leave the game during the tail end of the third quarter and not return for the rest of the Packers' 22-10 defeat at the hands of the Philadelphia Eagles. Reed took a hard hit after hauling in a 13-yard reception and was ruled questionable to return but ended up not playing another snap for the Packers in their loss. Before exiting the game, Reed caught all four targets for 46 yards which ended up leading the Packers in receiving yards on the afternoon. Reed's production hit a massive snag during the second half of the regular season, and it looked like the Packers were involving him more in the passing game before his untimely exit. Leading the Packers in receiving yards with 857, Reed also hauled in a team-leading 55 receptions in 2024. Reed should be a solid fantasy receiver with upside for 2025 fantasy leagues.

Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs Questionable To Return
Jayden Reed (shoulder) and Romeo Doubs (concussion) are both questionable to return to Sunday's wild-card game. Both sustained injuries during the second half. Doubs suffered a concussion earlier this season and had to miss two games. With Christian Watson (knee) already out for the season after tearing his ACL in the Week 18 regular-season finale, this leaves receivers Dontayvion Wicks and Bo Melton and tight end Tucker Kraft as quarterback Jordan Love's lone pass-catchers for the rest of this game. Reed was leading the team in receiving yards (46) before leaving, while Doubs had tallied 23 yards.
