Wide Receiver Rank: #218 Overall: #672
A poor passing attack really hampered Reed's numbers last season, finishing with fewer than 50 catches for the first time in a couple seasons. Reed had just 27 receptions, which was his lowest total since 2004. Reed has 50-plus catches three times in eight NFL seasons. He is a solid possession receiver, capable of filling the No. 3 receiver role well. Reed is a solid route runner with good speed and moves in the open field. His lack of size has prevented him from being an NFL starter throughout his career, though. He'll battle for a reserve role with the Chargers this season.

Reed has never been much of a fantasy factor. He might help in PPR leagues, but that is about it. He has just 10 touchdowns in eight seasons. If all goes well, Reed will get around 40 catches for 400 or 500 yards with maybe a score or two. |
