Everyone's all but forgotten about Jayden Reed. It feels like the guy didn't even have a solidified role in his offense until after the team's week six bye. From week seven on, he was the wide receiver seven overall in fantasy football and averaged 13.1 fantasy points per game, finishing the year as the wide receiver 23. So he finished as a wide receiver two despite not having a large role on this team until week seven. And now we think he's going to finish worse this year than he finished last year? I really don't understand for what reason people think that.
They swapped out Aaron Jones for Josh Jacobs, but everything else is basically the same. Yeah, but Jake, they have Christian Watson and he was hurt last year. Of course he was. He's hurt every single year, and even when he does play, he's averaging three catches for 45 yards a game. And if he doesn't score a touchdown, he absolutely kills you.
Jayden Reed gets carries out of the backfield; he gets a ton of work out of the slot, which we absolutely love. He averages over one deep target and one red zone target a game. We know that Jordan Love has proved to be a capable quarterback in the NFL. Romeo Doubs all but disappeared once Reed really got his footing in this offense, and the chances of Christian Watson getting injured again this year have to be astronomical.
Jayden Reed is going to be a solid depth add here in 2024.
