WR Jayden Reed, GB (3 Viewers)

I know you are up to the task. I've seen a lot of your posts and the vast majority are on the mark. You will be fine.

Fortunately the teams where I have shares are fairly deep.

It sucks no less - the worst part of it is the 0 in one’s active lineup.

agreed. they key is to keep your head up and look for those opportunities to make your team better.

if you sulk and stop paying attention that opportunity will pass you by.

if there is ever a good time to have injuries.... this is the time. when players can still be picked up on waivers who can help you.

everyone has injuries. there are not often teams that are untouched by them. late season injuries are harder to recover from than early season injuries. Thats the focus you need to have.

granted there are limits to how many injuries your fantasy team can take, but you cant control that. these things tend to even out over the course of a season. you just got yours early. thats all.

ETA: early November?

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports that the Packers believe WR Jayden Reed (collarbone) will return in early November.
Reed will undergo surgery to repair his broken collarbone early next week, likely on Tuesday. The Packers’ star slot receiver will then rehab the injury for 6-8 weeks. It’s a lengthy absence, and one that is likely only navigable for fantasy managers possessing an open injured reserve spot. Unfortunately, the Packers will likely still be running their fantasy-unfriendly wide receiver rotation when he returns, and their established field-stretcher, WR Christian Watson (knee), could return from the reserve/physically unable to perform list before then, keeping Reed in the efficiency-based WR3/FLEX territory.

Maybe it wasn’t a bad, uh, broken collarbone?

It's too bad Reed keeps getting banged up. He's a good football player.

Honestly extremely happy to see that he had the jones fracture surgery at the same time as his collar bone.

November would be great - I still think he’s the best FF bet of the Packers receiving corps.

From the NBC/former Rotoworld news feed:

Packers WR Jayden Reed announced he underwent successful foot and clavicle surgeries.
In a post on X, Reed said he had a “successful foot and clavicle surgery.” The 25-year-old was dealing with a Jones fracture heading into the season and intended to play through it. However, he also broke his clavicle in the Packers’ Week 2 win over the Commanders. Reed gets both surgeries out of the way in an attempt to get back to full health later this season. The Packers are aiming to have their slot receiver back around November. Fantasy managers can move him to an IR spot while the murky Packers pass-catching group does not offer an easy alternative. Matthew Golden and Romeo Doubs are in the WR3/FLEX range while Dontayvion Wicks may claw his way back into fantasy relevancy

I’d said that a glass half full take would be that his foot will have time to heal, so I let out a little “woot!” reading that news.

Not holding my breath but it will be a blast if Watson and Reed are both back by thanksgiving.

Are we holding this guy or cutting our losses?

 

[Chicago Hooligan]

I don't see any reason to hold in redraft. Like even when he first comes back, would you really start him? I ain't wasting bench space for 8 weeks.

I have him on 2 dynasty rosters so I’m holding.

I'm not trying to make this about "my fantasy team needs the roster space," but I will never understand the rationale when teams wait to officially put a guy on IR even though he's posting from the hospital on IG after undergoing TWO surgeries to repair a broken collarbone and foot. I would think the actual NFL team could use that roster spot itself. This happens every year, it drives me nuts.

Do they have to declare if the player is eligible to return or not when they make the designation? If so that would explain it.

I don't think they have to designate them immediately. I've seen teams designate a guy for return well after he has been placed on IR.

Thanks, wasn't sure. Maybe they wait until they figure out who they want to call up from the practice squad and do those movies simultaneously? Maybe it's easier that way? If not that then probably the same reason things don't get done at any job, someone just hasn't gotten around to it filing out the form yet.
