First of all, limited. Secondly, NPaul & Reed both practicing, so maybe both playing.... against Seattle.

what do you think is gonna happen going forward?

I did not realize when I was drafting my teams this year, but I am all-in on Reed (drafted him often and typically without a proper backup). Between the injuries and the rise of Paul, I am wondering how much value he will have going forward.

Agreed. I got him in trade before week 1 to cover Graham's bye in week 6. Now wondering if I may need to look elsewhere as that is next week already. Tough situation to monitor.

I have owned Reed a lot both last year and this year. My take is that as long as Reed is healthy enough to play I'm not worried about if they will use him in the game plan, they will. The concern is will he stay healthy all game and how long until the next injury. He is probably helped as well by the fact Paul is 7 days removed from his concussion.

Yup. I held him and hopefully a lot of FBG Reed owners were lucky like me and picked up Donnell. So I'm not sweating Reed's return. I'm actually just planning on having him as a backup and potential flex play and no more than that. Ideal world he produces for a few weeks and I can trade him. Let him be someone else's head ache (no pun intended).
I agree. I'm anxious for him to get some positive production, but sending him out to get beat up by Seattle's secondary when he's not 100% doesn't make a lot of sense.

Reed has not run full speed since his hamstring injury.

He is a FA in my league... I've got Heath Miller and Kyle Rudolph (who I think will be good paired with Teddy).
Is Reed worth grabbing?

He was just dropped in my league. I think I'm going to pick him up seeing as my only TEs right now are Vernon Davis and Niles Paul

Same here - feels like being the chump guy waiting to see if the hot 8th grade cheerleader will go to a dance with me.

I wanted to hold him, but with Graham on bye and a more certain option of Daniels on the wire I took Daniels.

How do people see the Reed/Paul dynamic playing out when they can both get on the field ?

Paul showed us on Monday just how bad he blocks. If he can't block, his snaps will be limited when Reed comes back.

Love his talent; hate his propensity for injury.
reed cant block either. luckily, you dont need blocking for fantasy points.
still, i dont understand why they left paul to block the whole game and rarely had him run routes. blocking is paulsens job. niles rarely blocked until this game.

Paul just had that concussion and the Legion isn't exactly known for taking it easy on you over the middle. Wouldn't be surprised if the Redskins had him out there to decoy.
these were the quotes from this past Saturday in that article:
"We’ll stretch him out a little bit and if he doesn’t feel he can run full speed, then we’ll hold him out," Gruden said.
Reed said he has not yet tested his injured hamstring by running full speed. Both he and Gruden said there was no setback in his recovery, and the Redskins held him out just to give him another day of rest.
"He feels OK," Gruden said. "I know how these things are ... He’s been running, but full speed? I can’t tell. I haven’t seen him run in a long time, I don’t know what his full speed is now. That’s what we’ll look at [sunday]."
And then from the updated article yesterday Oct 8th:Faust said:
“Definitely shooting for Sunday,” Reed said. “I feel like if I get everything done this week and everything goes smoothly, I’ll be out there Sunday.”
Reed said he did some extra running after practice. He said his hamstring is tight and “kind of weak” but that it’s getting stronger.
Doesn't give me confidence that even if he returns this week, he would be able to do much. Do players with hamstring pulls this severe (obviously) ever come back to play well the same season? Anyone remember some success stories from the past?

I'm still holding on him, but he's gonna have to play a full game and make it out healthy before I even think of starting him. I am not about to get burned by starting him, only to see him leave 4 minutes into the game after tweaking his hammy.

Urgh.
Really need a full practise and positive report on him today, he's one of the few options to cover Graham this week for me.

How can you start this guy with any sort of confidence?

I might trade Donnell and be forced to start Reed this week. Can't say I would be doing that with confidence. In fact, I will be starting him with extreme diffidence.

was it hard to hold Odell Beckham JR ?

It's not "like that" at all. Odell Beckham Jr. hasn't been in the league long enough to determine if he's the offensive counterpart to Bob Sanders. Jordan Reed has.

It's a bit hyperbolic, but consider this: In just over one year he has missed 11 games in two seasons. That's 11 games out of 21 or 52.3% of his games missed so far meaning he's been available 48.7% of the time. Bob Sanders was available 39.1% of the time.

Because I'm pretty sure he'll outscore Kelce this weekend. I'm not 100% on that, though.
