Fantasy Footballers on Jayden Reed

From the episode

Now that's been the knock on Jaden Reed is he's just a slot guy. And if you're, we want wide receivers to work in the slot. That is great for fantasy. But if you only work in the slot, you pretty much aren't on the field enough to be very relevant.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Reed's fantasy value drops as he remains limited to three-WR sets.

Jayden Reed's fantasy outlook has dimmed because he is primarily utilized in three-wide receiver sets. With reports indicating that Matthew Golden is taking over the 'X' receiver role, Reed's path to consistent snaps in two-wide receiver sets is blocked, making him less viable for fantasy.
