BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 21% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Jayden Reed has been asked to do a lot in his first three games as a rookie. That's because the team has been without Christian Watson since the get-go, and they have been missing Aaron Jones for the past two weeks. However, he's earned at least five targets in all three contests, earning 15 the past two weeks with eight in Week 2 and seven in Week 3.
The team is lacking quality pass-catchers with Watson out, but the target-earning skill set he's displayed early is impressive. In Week 2, Reed finished with 17.7 half-PPR points largely due to two touchdowns. He finished with just 37 yards. He upped that total this weekend, catching three of his targets for 63 yards.
He did struggle with consistency, however, dropping what appeared to be two touchdowns. His day could have been even bigger. It's unknown what the target hierarchy will be once Jones and Watson return to the lineup, but Reed has shown enough through three weeks that he looks like a quality bench player fantasy managers should want on their roster.
Not only that, but it's within the realm of possibility that Reed actually outperforms Doubs and finishes as the team's No. 2 receiver.
