Guy is a monster.
He played a lot this year, and you can start someone else when he doesn't play.When he plays,,Guy is a monster.
He's finished as the te1 the past 2 weeks and just had the biggest game all season by a te last night. Best playoff te by far.87 PPR points in the 3 playoff weeks. Wow.
I did the same (traded away Reed prior to the season). Reed is immensely talented, but his history of injuries concerned me (and I was also loaded with Kelce and Eifert as dynasty TE's). This season, Reed has proven me wrong. He has stayed relatively healthy. For dynasty purposes, I would go so far as to rank Reed as the #2 TE, behind only Gronkowski, and slightly ahead of Olsen, due to age difference. All of the top TE's come with their own injury concerns.I can't believe this guy basically played all season after I traded him during the preseason. And he's beasting on top of that. I never thought he'd be able to stay healthy. If he's turned the corner ala Fred Taylor, then he's a top 3 TE.
I too did the same exact thing and cut him due to injury risk and what at the time looked like a deep bench. I had Jimmy Graham, Kelce, and Julius. Them there's the breaks sometimes in dynasty.I did the same (traded away Reed prior to the season).

I went against him in one league and I'm basically screwed. I wouldn't send a congratulatory note to my opponent before the other games - that seems tacky.That was the 2nd best game (34.90) by a TE this season in our full PPR with big play/milestone bonuses. Olsen had 35.40 week 3 (8-134-2, 40+ reception.) That virtually assures Reed will have been the TE1 for the week four times this year - including the 3 weeks of the FF Playoffs. 25-333-5 Weeks 14, 15 & 16.
My opponent already sent me a congratulatory note. There's a lot of football left, but certainly a dream start to Championship Week.
I don't comment on games before the week is over - never know how things will swing.

He's played in 13 out of15 games this year. "When he plays" makes it sound like he missed half the season. ???He played a lot this year, and you can start someone else when he doesn't play.When he plays,,Guy is a monster.
He's missed 14 games in three years. Being injured 30% of the time shouldn't be ignored.He's played in 13 out of15 games this year.

How's that stack up against gronk,eifert, Julius and Kielce? They can't all be ironman like gonzo.There are years before this one you know.He's played in 13 out of15 games this year.

in a similar position. is going to be hard not to keep him even w/ injury risk. risk of another concussion or another injury will make me nervous thoughIn a keeper league where you can keep 4 is Reed 1 to keep?
Maybe,
Absolutely,
Probably,
Just trying to gauge how highly he's thought of here..
(If you have 3 RB's to keep would Reed be a 4th)
Why only 2 more years potentially?very curious to see where he ends up in redraft preseason rankings next year. i'd have to guess it will be gronk, olsen, reed, eifert.... then everyone else a tier below (yes gary barnidge, i'm sorry but you will be lumped with delanie walker, kelce etc. in the mid TE1 tier)
he's only 25 too so potentially 2 more years of elite TE play if the cousins/gruden combo is going to stick around
Are you actually asking this without telling us your roster?In a keeper league where you can keep 4 is Reed 1 to keep?

pretty close with if healthy being the big caveat. Cousins has looked pretty good. Can't see Reeds numbers being too much better.Is a healthy Jordan Reed the equal of Gronk with an elite QB behind center? The knock on this guy has been his inability to stay healthy. When he has been healthy for a significant stretch this season the dude has been unstoppable...and that's with Cousins throwing him the rock. Imagine if this guy had Brady...or any number of other QBs...and could stay on the field for 14+ games.
Will be overdrafted next year and miss 4-6 games due to injury.Is a healthy Jordan Reed the equal of Gronk with an elite QB behind center?

That's kind of silly. Could have said the same exact thing about Gronk or Graham 2 years ago and would have missed out on big seasons.kyoun1e said:Will be overdrafted next year and miss 4-6 games due to injury.Is a healthy Jordan Reed the equal of Gronk with an elite QB behind center?

Staying away.
You can never have enough RBs.Have the option of keeping Reed or David Johnson for a 14th rounder next year in a 2 man 0.5 ppr keeper league. Had DJ as a no brainer, but am rethinking that now..... Reed has looked incredible.
I'm keeping Reed and I agree with this.You can never have enough RBs.Have the option of keeping Reed or David Johnson for a 14th rounder next year in a 2 man 0.5 ppr keeper league. Had DJ as a no brainer, but am rethinking that now..... Reed has looked incredible.
Johnson really is unproven at this point in time. We've seen lots of rookie rb's have a great start and fade out, not saying that's likely with Johnson but Reed has shown he's elite.Have the option of keeping Reed or David Johnson for a 14th rounder next year in a 2 man 0.5 ppr keeper league.

i can only keep 2 so i have to weigh my options, but yeah Reed is an absolutely if you can keep 4.In a keeper league where you can keep 4 is Reed 1 to keep?

I'm a Skins fan and a dynasty Reed owner. I still have trouble getting it. He doesn't jump off the screen as a mismatch and a superstar like Gronk, Graham, Gates, or Gonzo in their primes. Reed is just always ####### open. No matter what. And he never goes down on the first tackle attempt. Just catches balls and bangs up field. I have no idea how good he can be, just happy he's on my side.GoBirds said:Has to be right? No one can cover the guy.
The number of truly great TEs seems to be on the rise. Gronk isn't worth a 1st round pick anymore, the rest of the pack has closed the gap enough that he's not that big of an advantage.Gronk in the 1st, or Reed in the 3rd? Who do you take? If I was reasonably sure Reed would remain healthy it's a no brainer for me. But, Reed's injury history is of particular concern to me because of the nature of his injuries. He seems predisposed to concussions and hamstring injuries, and those are the kinds of injuries that can be more accurately predicted I think -- Some guys are just more susceptible. If Reed gets through next season without suffering either of those injuries and continues to produce at the level he's been at this season, then he will truly be 1b to Gronk's 1a in 2017.
i'm torn whether to keep this guy. He was unstoppable last year, but injury risk seems so high.
He's had six concussions. SIX.I'll live with a few missed games each year. I kind of view Reed like the Brian Westbrook of TE's. Figure he's going to miss 2-4 games each year
