Matt Harmon on Jayden Reed

VideoBiggest Week One SurprisesSeptember 15, 2026

From the video

my instinct coming to this year was that we'd see Jaden Reed play more. We did not say play. We did not see Jaden Reed play more uh this year. He was not a full-time player. He was well behind Matthew Golden in routes and Christian Watson.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalUsage

Reed was not a full-time player in Week 1, trailing Golden and Watson

Matt Harmon admits he was wrong to prefer Jaden Reed over Matthew Golden coming out of Week 1. Reed was not a full-time player, running only 29 routes and finishing well behind both Matthew Golden and Christian Watson in route participation.
