On the margins, Jacobs' projected absence helps out Jordan Love, Christian Watson, Matthew Golden, Jayden Reed and Tucker Kraft as well. More plays and more pass attempts is how Love, Golden and Reed can pay off as fantasy sleepers.

Positive signalSleeper

Reed positioned as sleeper; benefits from Packers' faster pace and more passes.

Reed is identified as a fantasy sleeper who benefits from Jacobs' projected absence and the Packers' expected shift to a faster-paced, more pass-heavy offense. The source notes the Packers have been 31st in neutral pass rate and pace since Jacobs joined in 2024, and this conservative approach will likely change. More plays and pass attempts should help Reed pay off as a fantasy sleeper, and the fact that the Packers aren't rotating a WR4 and WR5 this year is equally important for his opportunity.
