ANALYSIS: Fantasy managers got a glimpse into how the Packers' offense would prefer to function and the results, at least for the team's pass-catchers, were not ideal. Jordan Love threw just 26 passes. The team finished with 37 rushing attempts from the rest of the roster sans Love. That level of passing volume is going to be a problem for every single pass-catcher in Green Bay. Certainly, they aren't going to be playing against a backup quarterback every week as they did this past weekend, but this is clearly the recipe for the team to have success.

Fellow receiver Christian Watson left the game tending to a back injury and a potential concussion. If he misses time, in theory, that should help Jayden Reed's value. However, the most likely outcome is that rookie receiver Dontayvion Wicks would start on the outside and Reed would continue to operate as the team's full-time slot receiver. The point is, even if Watson misses time, it may not actually lead to more snaps or routes.

That said, Reed has been a really productive rookie considering the play from his quarterback and the team's overall offensive success. He has five or more targets in five out of eight games. He also has 35 or more receiving yards in five or more games, which includes three contests where he finished with more than 55 yards. He has scored over 7.5 half-PPR points in five games. Rookie receivers tend to get better as the season rolls along, so adding him makes a lot of sense. If you refrain from looking at Romeo Doubs' five touchdowns, there's a strong argument to be made that Reed has been the Packers' most productive receiver.
