Jayden Reed - 2025 Dynasty Fantasy Football Sleepers and Trade Targets

Jayden Reed is a dynasty fantasy football sleeper and trade target for 2025. Read the fantasy football outlook for the Green Bay Packers wide receiver.

RotoBaller Dynasty Ranking: WR41

Dynasty Analysis: Jayden Reed has struggled to find consistency in fantasy thanks to his role as a slot-specific player with a quarterback who isn’t afraid to spread targets around. Because of that, Reed has two straight seasons finishing just outside the top 24 wide receivers despite averaging 13.6 PPR fantasy points per game as a rookie and 11.6 PPR in his second season.

Things won’t get much better for Reed from a playing time standpoint in his third season after the Packers used a first-round pick on Texas wide receiver Matthew Golden.

That, combined with his role as a wide receiver specifically in three-receiver sets, is leading fantasy managers to overlook the impact Reed can have. Reed finished as the WR1 overall in Week 1 last season (33.1 PPR points) and the WR2 in Week 4 (27.1 PPR points). Both games were losses where the Packers were forced to pass to keep up in scoring.

Green Bay’s secondary took a major hit heading into 2025 when the team released Jaire Alexander. The Packers have also struggled to get consistent pressure on opposing quarterbacks outside of edge-rusher Rashan Gary. There is a chance the Packers will be forced into more negative game scripts in 2025. That will greatly benefit Reed.

Reed is a volatile player in fantasy football due to his role. However, in situations where the Packers are forced to pass, he consistently schemed up touches and can finish as a top-scoring fantasy wide receiver.

Managers who roster Reed are likely tired of trying to guess the weeks he will be relevant. This gives us an excellent opportunity to buy low on a dynamic weapon who could have his best season in 2025.
