Packers WR Jayden Reed broke his collarbone in Thursday night's win over the Commanders, HC Matt LaFleur said. The "hope" is that Reed will be back in 6-8 weeks, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Reed, a fringe WR3/4 when healthy, is droppable outside of fantasy leagues with deep benches or multiple IR spots. He should at least be a full-go once he's cleared to return, so Reed could still be a fantasy factor over the second half of the season.
His absence figures to mean a boost in playing time for all the Packers WRs. Here's how the routes shook out vs. Washington, with Reed exiting less than four minutes into the game:
Doubs remains the best bet to lead the group in playing time for now, but he's never been a high-end target earner. Consider him a WR4 going forward.
Golden went catch-less vs. the Commanders. But the 68% route rate was up from 57% in the opener. He also just missed two big plays in Week 2: A ball thrown slightly late and behind him that could have gone for a 33-yard TD, and a overthrown pass when Golden had a couple of steps on his defender deep down the middle of the field.
We'll need to see Golden's playing time grow a bit more before trusting him in fantasy lineups. But he's a strong stash -- and a potential buy-low this week.
Wicks should hover between a 65-80% route rate as long as Reed is out. He's drawn targets at a high clip throughout his career and looked good against Washington, catching four of six targets for 44 yards. He's worth adding in fantasy leagues of 12+ teams.
