Limited 12 personnel usage (8 career routes); Golden blocks path to role expansion
Jayden ReedWR
Jaden Reed faces significant fantasy concerns heading into the season due to receiving corps competition and role uncertainty. Reed has run only 8 routes out of 12 personnel in his entire career; Matthew Golden is entrenched at the X position and would have to fail for Reed to consistently play in two tight end sets, limiting his path to increased playing time. Even without Dantavian Wicks and Romeo Doubs in the mix, Golden is sliding into the traditional boundary receiver role where Wicks was running the majority of his routes, further constraining Reed's opportunity.
