Jayden Reed Week 16 Outlook - Saints at Packers

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Dec 19th 2024, 1:05pm EST

After a hot start to the season, Reed has cooled off as the WR34 in fantasy points per game. He does have five red zone targets in his last five games, along with three scores, so it's not like Reed has been a ghost. The touchdowns have had to sustain him, though, because he hasn't had more than 34 receiving yards in a game since Week 9. Since Week 3, New Orleans has had the fourth-highest two high rate in the NFL (55%). Since Week 7, against two-high, Reed has ranked second in TPRR (24%), fifth in YPRR (1.32), and first in first-read share (25.4%). Reed could get shut down this week. Since Week 10, New Orleans has managed to keep slot receivers quiet, allowing the 14th-fewest fantasy points per game to the position and the fewest PPR points per target. Reed is just a low-end flex this week.
