Polish Hammer 619 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I'm stuck debating grabbing Davis or running Gates out there; otherwise picking up a CLE TE or something along those lines. Of course the year I have Reed on my team he does this early in the season... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can't imagine Watson or the Ravens will be able to maintain this pace they opened up with (against two very poor teams). I CAN see Vernon Davis, if he has the job to himself, doing well against the Raiders. They are TE fantasy-friendly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If Reed can't go, Cook makes for a great play against the Redskins. They've given up 90+ yards receiving to TEs in both matchups (Ertz in Week 1, Everett in Week 2).

Faust 5,294 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Jordan Reed (chest, shoulder, toe) will be a game-time decision. Schefter says he is "more unlikely to play" than to suit up, but Washington will still take it to the wire. The good news for Reed owners is Vernon Davis is available in most leagues and a great fill-in option if Reed cannot play. Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ConnSKINS26 5,717 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 (edited) Any smart Reed owner has Davis on their bench, so when he doesn't play you don't miss a beat. What will suck is if he's healthy enough to play but is on a limited snap count. Historically at least, when Reed can play he's a TE1. He had one of his best weeks last year playing through a sprained AC joint, going back into the game and dominating. He gets injured easily but he's not "soft" once he's injured, if that makes sense. What is worrisome is that he hasn't actually been a difference maker yet this year, so we haven't seen that he's even good to go from the toe injury he came into the season with. That sucks.

dnurk 80 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 If he plays I think you're safe to assume he's a TE1. The first game vs Philly the Eagles were destroying the Skins OL and all of Reeds targets were short little dinks. It also appeared like Wash was trying to force feed Prior that game. Week two he was seeing plenty of targets and then got injured. If Cousins really can produce like he did last week vs Oak AND Reed plays I'm willing to bet he puts up good numbers.

Football Jones 1,461 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 (edited) Reed is certainly injury prone, but he's one of the toughest players in the NFL. What he did in the game last season after separating his shoulder was nothing short of astounding. I suffered the same grade of separation in the same joint in high school & it was the most painful thing I've ever done to this day (when trying to play with it). I don't care if you shoot enough painkiller in there to put a horse to sleep & do cocaine on top of it, it's excruciatingly painful. Reed is one tough SOB.

Now to be fair, that post was kind of a stream of consciousness thing where I was just posting my thoughts. But if you read through to the end I think its clear where I stand--if he is active, start him. If he's not, you should have Davis to pop into your lineup if you're smart (unless you already had a better option play, I guess--but you probably had to draft Reed pretty high and there aren't a lot of great TE's this year yet).

dnurk 80 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Looks like he practiced all 3 days this week but was "limited" in each.

FGITLOTR 343 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 I'm allowed to back up with Davis, so I'm obviously starting Reed if he goes. You definitely risk him playing limited snaps or getting reinjured, but he's talented not to play when active. With no Berry, I like his chances. Hopefully the extra week has given his toe some time to heal (I know it's a lingering issue). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Looks good. Toe must be alright. What's the nature of his chest injury? That's the key issue...him getting hit there.

Report I read a few weeks ago said he tore his hamstring when he tried to return the last time. Hamstrings can easily be 6+ week injuries, got Woodhead put on IR and two months later he still don't look quite right. Then factor in both his toe and chest/shoulder injuries both of which are reportedly still lingering issues and it makes total sense to shut him down. It sucks and up until today I continued to hold out hope he'd atone for his sins and drop a big game week 15 or 16 when needed the most. As is he'll go down as my worst pick of the year by a mile. One of the more frustrating guys to own for sure, but if price is right,and should be fairly cheap, I'll sign up for the ride again next year.

Faust 5,294 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Quote Redskins placed TE Jordan Reed on injured reserve with a hamstring injury, ending his season. It's the only logical end to what was a lost 2017 for the would-be star tight end. Always injured, Reed was limited to a career-low six games. Reed reported to camp with a toe injury that had been bothering him since 2016. Things went downhill from there as he battled shoulder, chest and hamstring ailments, amongst others. When Reed was on the field during his age-27 campaign, he was ineffective, averaging a fullback-like 7.8 yards per catch. Signed through 2021, Reed will head into 2018 having averaged 10 games across five NFL seasons. Source: Redskins on Twitter Dec 12 - 4:02 PM Quote Link to post Share on other sites
