Jayden Reed Week 3 Outlook - Saints at Packers

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Sat, Sep 23rd 2023, 3:05am EDT

Reed has been incredible on a limited route volume. He's only seen a 57% route run per team dropback rate. Among wide receivers with at least 25 routes (141 WRs), Reed is 24th in Target share (23.5%), third in TPRR (38%), and 17th in YPRR (2.66). Reed's role is holding him back. He's stuck in a part-time slot role on a low-volume passing offense. Until he can break free and become a full-time player, his upside is capped regardless of how good he is on a per-route basis. Reed will run about 65% of his routes against Alontae Taylor (80% catch rate and 105.2 passer rating). Week 3 Positional Value: WR4/5
