Jordan Reed-TE-Washington Redskins (44.8%)

After tight ends had huge numbers in week 1, production at the position dropped off sharply in week 2. One player who remained productive especially in PPR leagues was Jordan Reed. Reed is such a huge part of the Washington passing attack that he should continue consistent production in the coming weeks.

He led the team in receiving yards in week two hauling in all six of his targets for 82 yards although he failed to find the end zone. In week 1, he did get a touchdown and finished with seven catches for 63 yards.

While part of his value is definitely due to DeSean Jackson’s absence, he’s quickly become one of Kirk Cousins’ favorite targets. Reed has been a productive part of the Redskins attack in the past, but injuries have derailed him every time he gets things going. If he can stay healthy, Reed will be a TE1 as long as he stays so locked in to the Redskins receiving corps.

Next: Michael Crabtree-WR-Oakland Raiders
