Reed got right where he ended to end the 2023 season, as the previous second-round choice turned into among Jordan Love’s leading alternatives. Over his last 8 regular-season looks in 2015, he tape-recorded 460 getting backyards and 100 rush backyards to support 7 overall goals.
Dream supervisors ought to keep in mind that Reed’s capability to create huge plays might trigger his production to change on a weekly basis, particularly considering that he was targeted simply 4 times and got just one bring versus Philadelphia.
It’s definitely possible that head coach Matt LaFleur is going to get him more included in Green Bay’s offense moving forward after his significant Week 1 getaway.
Josh Jacobs made headings when he signed a four-year, $48 million handle the Packers in complimentary company. He was anticipated to pay a big function in the group’s offense after leading the NFL in hurrying throughout the 2022 season.

Jacobs’ launching for Green Bay didn’t go as prepared, as the 26-year-old was just able to summon 84 backyards on 16 efforts and could not discover completion zone after a really sluggish very first half on the ground. Second-year backup Emmanuel Wilson played much better than Jacobs for much of the video game as he ran for 46 lawns on simply 4 brings.
While it’s method too early for Jacobs’ dream owners to strike the panic button, his battles are a cause for issue heading into Week 2. It’s still an appealing indication that he got a bigger work versus the Eagles, making his capability to recover a lot easier.
After signing a significant handle Green Bay, it’s likewise extremely not likely that the group would stop including him in the offense after simply one substandard efficiency.
When it comes to Reed, he must be a staple of dream supervisors’ lineups moving on.
