BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues

ANALYSIS: Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed has emerged as one of Jordan Love's favorite weapons. The rookie from Michigan State has had a touchdown in three straight games with at least 80 total yards in two of the last three.
Reed has earned must-add status. He's a legit WR3 and honestly, he's creeping up on WR2 status. Reed has been a steady performer, both for the Packers and fantasy managers. He has scored 7.5 half-PPR points or more in eight out of 11 games. That includes three games where he's scored over 15. He has just one game under five half-PPR points.
He's coming off eight targets against Detroit, which ties for his season high. He has also now been given two carries in back-to-back plays. He had eight targets, four receptions, 34 yards, and one touchdown on Thanksgiving. He also had 16 rushing yards. Over the past six weeks, since the team's Week 6 bye, he is averaging 12.1 half-PPR points per game. He has three straight games with more than 13 points and needs to be rostered in all leagues.
