Jayden Reed and Packers agree to rookie deal Wednesday
Packers rookie WR Jayden Reed signed his contract Wednesday, two days before rookies are set to report to training camp in Green Bay.
Fantasy Impact
The second-round pick out of Michigan State has a chance to be involved early, given his draft capital and the lack of experience at the position behind Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs. Despite that opportunity, fantasy expectations should be kept in check given the questions surrounding the Packers offense with Jordan Love under center. Reed is currently being drafted as the WR74 according to FantasyPros consensus average draft position, making him a late-round flier or a waiver wire option as his role becomes clearer.

Luke Musgrave projects to be Packers starting tight end
Packers rookie TE Luke Musgrave reportedly currently projects to be the starter for Green Bay entering Week 1.
Fantasy Impact
Musgrave was already earning first-team reps in OTAs and he will look to carry that momentum into training camp. The rookie out of Oregon State was a second-round pick back in April and the opportunity will be there for him to lead Packers tight ends in targets with Jordan Love undercenter.

Jordan Addison cited for driving 140 MPH in a 55 MPH zone
Jordan Addison was pulled over early Thursday morning for driving his Lamborghini Urus at 140mph in a 55mph zone.
Fantasy Impact
Addison was issued a citation for speeding and reckless driving. It does not appear it will lead to a suspension for the rookie, but it will be a situation to at least monitor nonetheless.
