Green Bay Packers

In just the Packers first drive of Thursday Night Football, Jayden Reed left the game injured. This comes on a very impressive play in which he made a tight, deep touchdown catch only to be called back to penalty. Jayden Reed has been coming back from a Jones Fracture (Foot) and he did play very promising football in Week 1. Fantasy managers hate to see Jayden Reed go out injured again tonight. Full injury updates down towards the bottom.

Packers Fantasy Implications

Green Bay has really spread around their passing offense, so this does not make a drastic difference. As Jayden Reed is technically the number one receiver for Jordan Love, he only had a 19% target share in 2024. As the team added Matthew Golden, it is possible for that share to go down towards 16-17%.

Jordan Love projects no drop in fantasy value. Dontayvion Wicks, Romeo Doubs, Matthew Golden, and Tucker Kraft all see an upgrade in value, divvying up the 19% target share that will be missed from Jayden Reed.

Jayden Reed Exits Thursday Night Football With Shoulder Injury

On a great touchdown pass that was called back, Jayden Reed left the game injured with an injury in which he was holding his shoulder. According to Jeff Mueller, Jayden Reed may have re-injured his shoulder from a prior issue suffered back in January.

Jayden Reed was ruled out of the game in the 3rd quarter.

It has been confirmed postgame that Jayden Reed suffered a fractured collarbone. This is a 6-8 week injury. Bones heal a lot more efficiently than any soft-tissue injury, so with good rehab, Jayden Reed should be full strength come November.
