Jayden Reed's fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 18 (2023). Should you should start or sit Jayden Reed for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2
ANALYSIS: Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed has emerged as the team's top playmaker recently, putting up at least 15 PPR points in six of the last seven games and 10 or more points in eight of the last 10 games. In Week 17, the rookie wideout caught six of eight targets for 89 yards and two touchdowns, marking the second time he's scored multiple touchdowns this year, and he's had at least one in six of the last seven games.
The Packers take on the Bears in Week 18, who allow the 23rd-most points per game to receivers this season. Chicago's defensive strength comes on the ground, as they rank fourth in DVOA against the run but just 17th against the pass. He struggled in their Week 1 matchup, but his role has drastically increased since then as he's been a priority in the Packers' offense. Since Week 9, Reed has rushed for 121 yards, showing how the Packers are doing whatever it takes to get the ball in the rookie's hands. Reed ranks as a low-end WR2 ahead of a must-win game versus the Bears in Week 18.
