Jayden Reed: Six targets in lossReed recorded five receptions on six targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Broncos.
Jayden Reed caught 5-of-6 targets for 55 yards in the Packers' Week 15 loss to the Broncos.Reed's 55 receiving yards tied with Matthew Golden for the team-high on Sunday. The third-year receiver also led the way with six targets, with his longest play coming on a 29-yard catch in the second quarter on a drive that ended with a Josh Jacobs touchdown. Reed has now caught nine passes for 86 scoreless yards since returning from a broken collarbone in Week 14. With Christian Watson (chest) at risk of missing Week 16's game against the Bears, Reed could have a big enough role to make for a reliable FLEX play next week.
Matthew Golden caught 3-of-4 targets for 55 yards in the Packers' Week 15 loss to the Broncos.Golden tied with Jayden Reed for the team-high in receiving yards in Sunday's loss, and drew a 25-yard DPI on Riley Moss in the third quarter to keep a drive alive. That drive ended with a 40-yard touchdown run by Josh Jacobs on the following play. Golden continues to show flashes in his rookie season but has yet to live up to the billing that made him the no. 23 overall pick in this year's draft. Fantasy managers can avoid him in Week 16.
