BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 36% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Green Bay Packers receiver Jayden Reed has posted 80 or more total yards in three of the last four games. With the increasing consistency of Jordan Love, the rookie receiver is a great add with upside in this Packers' offense.
Reed has earned must-add status. He's playing like a legit WR3. Reed has been a steady performer, both for the Packers and fantasy managers. Reed has scored 7.5 half-PPR points or more in seven out of ten games. That includes three games where he's scored over 15. He has just one game under five half-PPR points. He's a better asset in PPR scoring leagues because he's had three or more receptions in eight out of ten games. That coincides with seven games of five or more targets.
This past weekend, Reed was given three rushing attempts, which was a new element to his game. The Packers clearly want to get the ball in his hands and have identified him as one of their best playmakers. He finished as the Packers' leading rusher with 46 yards and one touchdown. He also chipped in four receptions, 46 yards, and another touchdown through the air. He played on 50 of the team's 72 snaps and ran a route on 34 of the team's 44 dropbacks. If he's still hanging around your waiver wire, he's a must-add. He's playing terrific and rookie receivers tend to only get better as the season rolls along.
