"Watson is entering his fourth year with the Packers, but he's unlikely to return before midseason after suffering a torn ACL in Week 18 of last season. The injury is yet another setback for a player who has missed 13 regular season games, including, at least, two all three years. Even when healthy, the 2022 second-round pick has failed to live up to his pedigree, having yet to produce a top-30 fantasy campaign. He's all but settled in as a situational deep threat, ranking second in aDOT each of the last two seasons. On the plus side, Watson ranked second among receivers in YPT (11.5) and YPR (21.4) last season, which allowed a career-high 620 receiving yards. Perhaps a healthy Watson will eventually find his way back to fantasy relevance, but the 26-year-old is well off the radar in 2025."


"LaFleur said Watson's work ethic approaching his ACL rehab has been impressive, per Ryan Wood of USA Today, but the timing of the young wideout's injury sheds serious doubt on his availability for the early portion of the regular season. Green Bay also invested significant draft capital at the wide receiver position in April's draft in the form of first-round pick Matthew Golden and third-rounder Savion Williams. With all of Jayden Reed (shoulder), Romeo Doubs (concussion), Dontayvion Wicks, Bo Melton, Mecole Hardman (knee) and Malik Heath also on hand, the Packers boast one of the league's most crowded receiver rooms, meaning Watson will face tough competition for snaps even if he enjoys an exceptional recovery timeline."

"Reed is entering his third NFL season, having produced at least 79 touches, 956 yards and seven TDs during each of his first two seasons in Green Bay. Despite the solid numbers, Reed has yet to emerge as a consistent fantasy producer. He came out hot with a pair of 27-plus-point games during Weeks 1-4 last season, but averaged 9.2 PPG the rest of the season, with zero 20-point efforts. Reed has struggled with drops (eight last season), but he's otherwise been productive (11.4 YPT last season ranked third at WR) and he's also a plus contributor as a rusher (282 yards and three TDs on 31 career carries). Perhaps Reed will make a Year 3 leap, but he's yet to deliver a top-25 fantasy season (PPG) after his 40th-place finish in 2024 and now has to compete with rookies Matthew Golden and Savion Williams for work. He has the look of a low-ceiling flex."


"Reed appears back to full health after having suffered a dislocated shoulder during Green Bay's 22-10 wild-card loss to the Eagles in January, an injury for which he didn't require surgery. The third-year pro has prioritized bulking up early in the offseason, with passing-game coordinator Jason Vrable saying in mid-May that Reed is currently 199 pounds after playing at 187 pounds in 2024. The Packers' selection of Matthew Golden in the first round of April's draft, plus Savion Williams in the third round, provides Jordan Love and the passing game the requisite tools to grow more dynamic in 2025, a development that could prove positive for Reed in Year 3 even if he faces increased target competition. Romeo Doubs (concussion) and newcomer Mecole Hardman (knee) are also practicing Wednesday."

Jayden Reed's receiving yards have increased by 124.14% over the past 6 weeks.

Jayden Reed's target share has decreased by 28.81% over the past 6 weeks.
