Jayden Reed 2023 NFL Player Outlook: Packers New Slot Receiver Looks To Make An Immediate Impact
2 years agoDespite the Green Bay Packers continuing their feud against first-round receivers, they drafted Michigan State wide receiver Jayden Reed with their third draft pick in the second round. Reed is a speedy slot receiver who adds electricity in the kick return game. Although that's not what fantasy managers want to hear, he should easily dominate slot targets on this offense. With all the questions around Jordan Love, we have yet to know how much he may rely on the slot WR. Additionally, despite being often labeled as a slot receiver, Reed possesses the speed and ball-tracking ability to be a threat downfield. This is a whole new Packers team, and there certainly is reason to be optimistic about Reed's fantasy potential. He is certainly worth a later pick in any PPR format for redraft leagues and is a name to look out for come training camp.
