Green Bay’s Jayden Reed faces a rocky path in 2025 after a Jones fracture in his foot and a Week 2 shoulder injury. A November return is plausible, with surgery a potential path if healing stalls. In redraft, Reed carries mid-to-low WR3 upside when healthy, but the crowded Packers receiving corps (Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs) keeps his floor unstable and his ceiling limited. Monitor timetable and don’t rush him back.

Dynasty managers may stash Reed if possible, given long-term upside, but his immediate value hinges on health and how quickly he can rejoin LaFleur’s offense. The Packers will likely lean on a rotating corps, so Reed’s fantasy breakout remains contingent on a clean bill of health and re-acclimation into the system.

Jayden Reed fractured his collarbone and will land on injured reserve, with surgery likely Tuesday and a hoped-for November return. Green Bay’s offense endured the loss as Reed’s early-season rhythm was already building after a Week 1 showing. In Reed’s absence, Green Bay leaned on Romeo Doubs and a deeper group that includes Dontayvion Wicks and rookie receivers Matthew Golden and Savion Williams, while tight ends Tucker Kraft and Luke Musgrave combined for a big role. Kraft’s six-catch, 124-yard day with a TD highlighted the depth of the offense as Green Bay moved to 2-0, a rare start that underscores Love’s growing command of the system and the resilience of a receiver room that can weather Reed’s absence.

Love threw for 292 yards and two touchdowns as Green Bay beat Washington 27-18, with Tucker Kraft racking up a career-high 124 receiving yards on six catches and catching an 8-yard TD to seal the win. Romeo Doubs added a first-quarter TD in the surprise 2-0 start for the Packers, who battled through o-line injuries to Tom and Banks.

The Packers leaned on big plays and a seven-play, 96-yard drive that featured Kraft’s 57-yard catch. Washington endured a slog with early field goals and late scores, but injuries to Wise and Ekeler ( Achilles scare; MRI pending) underscored a costly night for the Commanders. Packers’ depth and Love’s rhythm offer early fantasy intrigue, even amid the injuries.

Also noted: Jayden Reed exited with a collarbone injury in the first quarter, capping a night that underscored the Packers’ young weapons ahead of the season’s next test.
