Jalen Reagor is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for wide receivers. Target him as a free agent add off waivers for Week 3 of the 2021 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 26% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jalen Reagor had a standout game in Week 1 against the Atlanta Falcons, catching all six of his targets for 49 yards and a touchdown. Unfortunately, he barely showed up on the box score in the team's 17-11 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 2. He caught just two passes for five yards in the game. Despite the dud of a performance, there's a lot to like about Reagor from a fantasy perspective. He has seen a heavy share of snaps and targets so far and looks to be set for a big role in his second year in the league.
Reagor was overshadowed by fellow second-year receiver Quez Watkins in Week 2 as Watkins wound up with a 91-yard reception. Watkins finished the game with two catches for 117 yards. Yet Watkins only received two total targets in the game while Reagor saw five targets, second on the team behind rookie wideout DeVonta Smith. Reagor has been second amongst receivers on the team in snaps for two weeks straight. Only Smith has out-snapped Reagor so far. Watkins has played a total of 63 snaps through two weeks while Reagor has played 92. No other Eagles wideout apart from Smith has seen more than 37.
Fantasy managers in need of receiver depth in leagues of 12 teams deeper should heavily consider adding Reagor this week. The Eagles face-off against their divisional rivals, the Dallas Cowboys, in what should be a high-scoring game in Week 2. Reagor will be a borderline WR3 start for the game and if he blows up, he could be one of the hotter names on the waiver wire going into Week 4.
