Josh Reynolds is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for wide receivers. Target him as a free agent add off waivers for Week 13 of the 2021 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 1% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: The truth is that Josh Reynolds never had a chance as part of the Titans' offense, even with Julio Jones banged up at some points thought the season. That's the only thing that saved Reynolds in Tennessee back in Week 4 when he logged a season-high 9 targets in Julio's absence, catching 6 of those passes for 59 yards and a score of 11.9 PPR points. Other than that, though, he never topped 5.3 fantasy points in a Derrick Henry-led offense geared toward rushing the rock.
After getting released by Tennessee and enduring a tough debut with his new franchise in Detroit, it looks like Reynolds has finally arrived in the fantasy landscape. Facing Chicago on Thanksgiving Thursday last week, Reynolds put up his best game of the year to the tune of a 16-PPR tally in a 5-3-70-1 performance. That was, as I have said, his best game of the season; and that probably won't change ROS as you can't be much more efficient than Reynolds was in that match.
Even if Reynolds is past his peak--which is very possible as part of a putrid and winless Detroit Lions squad--he should still keep getting his 4+ targets per game under QB Jared Goff. Don't chase Reynolds if you're not part of a really deep format, but definitely add him if you're hurting for players at the wide receiver position if only to deploy them in the Flex spot in the vein of what-if plays.
