Jayden Reed Fantasy Football Outlook (2025)

By Andrew Erickson (FantasyPros), Thu, Aug 28th 2025, 1:20pm EDT

Jayden Reed flashed big-play upside in 2024, posting two games with 138+ yards early in the season and finishing as fantasy's WR26 overall (WR38 in ppg). However, his slot-only usage capped his opportunity - with just 68% route participation (71st among WRs) and only 4.4 targets per game. Despite the limited volume, Reed remained efficient, ranking 19th in yards per route run (2.2), and has led Green Bay in receptions and yards for two straight seasons. Even after the team drafted Matthew Golden in Round 1, Reed is still viewed internally as the pseudo-WR1. But Reed is also dealing with a Jones fracture in his foot. He is expected to play through it, but that puts him at a high level of both declined efficiency and re-injury risk.
