BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR9
ANALYSIS: Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed has been unbelievable this season. The second-year star is the WR4, averaging 17.3 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. However, his success has been significantly dependent on who is playing quarterback.
Reed averaged four targets and 7.3 fantasy points per game in the two contests with Malik Willis. By comparison, he has averaged 5.5 receptions on seven targets for 138.5 receiving yards, one touchdown, and 27.4 fantasy points per game with Jordan Love under center, totaling 23.6 or more in both contests.
Jayden Reed’s statistics in his two games with Jordan Love behind center:
Week 1: 4-138-1 receiving, 1-33-1 rushing
Week 4: 7-139-1 receivingIt is officially War Daddy SZN

Fantasy players should put Reed into their starting lineup and leave him there with Love back on the field. Meanwhile, the Packers face the Los Angeles Rams in Week 5 in an extremely fantasy-friendly matchup.
The Rams have surrendered 30.9 fantasy points per game to wide receivers over the first four weeks, the sixth-most in the NFL. Wide receivers have averaged 1.8 receiving touchdowns per game against Los Angeles in 2024.
