Reed had three receptions (on four targets) for 76 yards while taking his lone carry for five yards in Monday's 34-0 rout of the Saints. Reed wound up finishing as the game leader in yards from scrimmage for either side in what turned out to be a one-sided matchup. Dontayvion Wicks hauled in the only passing touchdown of the night, but it was an otherwise strong showing from Reed. It was the 24-year-old's highest yardage total since recording 113 receiving yards against the Lions in Week 9. Reed remains a hit-or-miss asset in fantasy ahead of Sunday's tilt against Minnesota.

Reed had three receptions (on four targets) for 76 yards while taking his lone carry for five yards in Monday's 34-0 rout of the Saints. Reed wound up finishing as the game leader in yards from scrimmage for either side in what turned out to be a one-sided matchup. Dontayvion Wicks hauled in the only passing touchdown of the night, but it was an otherwise strong showing from Reed. It was the 24-year-old's highest yardage total since recording 113 receiving yards against the Lions in Week 9. Reed remains a hit-or-miss asset in fantasy ahead of Sunday's tilt against Minnesota.
Reed caught five of six targets for 34 yards and rushed three times for 27 yards in Sunday's 30-13 win over the Seahawks. Reed was more involved after seeing just one target in Week 14 against the Lions, as he tied Christian Watson for the team lead in targets and led the Packers in catches, though four teammates had at least 34 receiving yards as well. Reed also produced 10 yards on two punt returns, one of which he muffed for a fumble but managed to get back on top of the ball. The slumping wide receiver will be a touchdown-dependent fantasy option in Week 16 against the Saints given his sporadic recent usage, but Reed's a perennial threat to score considering he has 17 total touchdowns through 30 career regular-season games.
Reed got one target and finished without a catch in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Lions. Reed played 50 percent of snaps, which ties for his lowest share this season but doesn't fall outside the normal range. It's the seventh time he's logged 50-59 percent of snaps, as he still doesn't get much playing time in formations with fewer than three wide receivers. Reed has just one game all year with more than six targets, making him highly dependent on touchdowns and big plays, especially relative to other WRs that primarily man the slot. He has 12 targets and 73 receiving yards over the past four games, but with three of his eight catches in that span going for touchdowns. Reed will be a high-risk, high-reward lineup option once again Week 15 at Seattle, facing a defense that often uses top cornerback Devon Witherspoon in the slot.
Reed recorded three receptions on six targets for 24 yards and two touchdowns in Thursday's 30-17 win over the Dolphins. He added one rush for 23 yards. Reed got the job done early in the game, recording receiving scores of three and 12 yards by halftime. The Packers played from ahead by multiple scores for most of the contest, which limited Reed to only two targets in the second half. His lack of volume isn't unusual, and he now has under 30 receiving yards in three straight games. Reed is capable of big performances, but he's reliant on either big plays or reaching the end zone, leaving him as a boom or bust fantasy option.
Reed corralled all three of his targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 38-10 win over the 49ers. Unlike last week's two-catch effort, Reed was unable to hit pay dirt against the 49ers and left fantasy managers with paltry production. The speedy sophomore did not record a rushing attempt, and he hasn't had a positive gain as a runner since back in Week 5. Reed still has enough upside on any given week to be worth considering, but he is likely more of a deep-league asset due to his propensity for posting duds heading into Thursday's matchup against the Dolphins.
Reed secured both targets for 23 yards and a touchdown and rushed once for minus-5 yards in the Packers' 20-19 win over the Bears on Sunday. He also returned one punt for 16 yards. Reed seemed to be on his way to a big day when he capped off the opening drive of the contest with a 15-yard touchdown grab, but he drew only one additional target on the afternoon. Reed's two-catch tally was his third such in the last four games, although the TD reception snapped a three-game scoreless drought for the second-year wideout. Reed's volume is difficult to trust in a Packers offense that typically feeds a significant number of targets, making him a risky fantasy option heading into a tough Week 12 home matchup against the 49ers.
Reed recorded five receptions on six targets for 113 yards in Sunday's 24-14 loss to the Lions. The entire Green Bay offense was bogged down by rainy conditions and otherwise sloppy play in the loss, though Reed was a bright spot. He accounted for three of the team's four longest plays from scrimmage with receptions that went for 41, 32 and 28 yards. The end result was his third game this season in which he topped 100 receiving yards, and he continues to perform very efficiently on relatively limited targets.
Reed had two receptions (three targets) for 55 yards and did not gain any yards on his lone carry in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Jaguars. Reed did most of his damage on a 51-yard reception Sunday, but he finished with just three touches in the win. The dynamic wideout saw his stats tail off after quarterback Jordan Love (groin) exited the game in the third quarter. Reed's big-play ability should keep him a viable fantasy option heading into next Sunday's tilt against the Lions, but Love's presence would certainly be a boost to the receiver's projections.
Reed (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports. Reed cleared up any concern about his health heading into Sunday's contest after he logged a full practice Friday following limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday. Though he's been held under 30 total yards in both of the Packers' last two contests, Reed still paces all Green Bay position players with 562 yards from scrimmage through seven games.
