Jayden Reed Merely In Flex Territory For Week 16
9 hours agoGreen Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed had a hot start to his 2024 NFL season but has been stuck in a slump. He'll look to climb out of it in Week 16 against the New Orleans Saints on Monday. Reed has 34 receiving yards or fewer and is averaging less than four targets per game in his last five games. While Reed has three touchdowns in those games, those touchdowns are what is fueling his fantasy value lately, not his target-earning ability. Add in Romeo Doubs returning to the Packers' lineup from concussion protocol last week, and that addition continues to smooth out targets for every other pass-catching option for Green Bay. The Saints have been a middle-of-the-pack team in defending slot receivers this season, so the matchup isn't a slam dunk. Despite that, Reed is a low-end flex option for fantasy managers given the Packers' focus on the run and dwindling passing-game opportunities.
