Redskins expect to get back TE Jordan Reed this season

Sep 24, 2019

Washington tight end Jordan Reed has not played since being diagnosed with a concussion in the third preseason game Aug. 22. Will he ever play again?

Coach Jay Gruden said Tuesday he expects Reed to return at some point.

“I’m not worried about that, no,” Gruden said when asked if Reed’s career might be finished. “He has seen specialists, and we are just trying to get to the bottom of it and figuring out the best way to make him more comfortable, get him back in the lineup."

Fantasy Impact:

The story added that Reed's return appears "weeks" away at best. Until then, Davis will be the team's TE1. Davis had a nice Week 1 vs. Philly with a 4-59-1 line, including a 48-yard TD catch. But since then, Davis has 5 catches for 59 yards over the last two games.

Seahawks ruled out RB Kenneth Walker III for Thursday night’s game at Chicago.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

No mention of Charbonnet here, so we can assume he's in a good place to take a massive workload against a Bears defense that ranks 27th in RB aFPA. Fire up Charbs as an RB2.

Steelers WR George Pickens officially Active for Christmas Day

Chiefs Pro-Bowl DT Chris Jones officially is inactive today vs. the Steelers.

Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. officially is inactive, WR George Pickens officially active.

Related Players: Calvin Austin III, Van Jefferson, Mike Williams

Fantasy Impact:

The Steelers WR room looks a little more palatable with Pickens in the lineup, but it's still not enough to push Russell Wilson above deep-league SuperFlex territory. Consider Pickens a WR3 for Week 17.
