BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team PPR Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4
ANALYSIS: There are two ways of thinking about Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed this week. There's his expected production if Jordan Love (knee) returns from injury and there's his expected production if Malik Willis starts again.
In Week 1 with Love under center, Reed went off. In that game, he caught four passes for 138 yards and a touchdown and also added a 33-yard touchdown run to finish as the overall WR1.
In Week 2 with Willis under center, he caught two passes for nine yards and added 37 yards on the ground, finishing as the overall WR41.

If Love plays, Reed sneaks into the WR3 tier. If Willis plays, he's a WR5. Let's split the difference and call him a WR4 for now.
Also of note is that Reed was limited this week with a calf injury, but it looks like he is trending toward suiting up against the Titans.
