Redskins TE Jordan Reed said recently that he will play all 16 games during the 2015 regular season and said that changes to his diet and workout regimen would help him avoid some of the injuries that have kept him out of the lineup 12 times in his first two seasons.

Reed may find it hard to get too many people on board with him after missing practice just a few days later, however.

Redskins coach Jay Gruden said Tuesday, via Mike Jones of the Washington Post, that Reed is dealing with hamstring soreness that leaves his availability up in the air in the coming days. Reed has dealt with hamstring injuries, among others, in the past and his injury history should leave the team wary of putting him on the field too soon.

Fantasy Impact:

The Redskins have been dealing with some other injuries at tight end as well. Niles Paul, currently No. 1 on the depth chart, hurt his shoulder on Monday but an MRI showed no serious damage and Logan Paulsen went to North Carolina to have his injured toe evaluated by Dr. Robert Anderson, the story added.

Niles Paul the TE1 on Redskins depth chart

A considerably bigger, stronger TE Niles Paul reported to Redskins training camp this season, carrying roughly 27 additional pounds of muscle to complement the fierce work ethic he already was known for in the weight room and on the practice field.

Redskins Coach Jay Gruden has rewarded Paul by naming him the team’s starting tight end, vaulting him ahead of the frequently injured Jordan Reed, on the unofficial depth chart that was released in the run-up to Thursday’s preseason opener at Cleveland.

Fantasy Impact:

Competing last year at 225 pounds, Paul had the most productive season of his NFL career, catching 39 passes while Reed was in and out of the lineup with hamstring ailments. In the offseason, Paul worked closely with the Redskins’ executive chef and the team’s new strength and conditioning coach Mike Clark, to raise his game. He also improved his eating habits. It will be interesting to see if Paul can do enough to keep the job. So far, he's putting in the time and it's paying off.

Redskins TE Jordan Reed: 'I'll be able to play all 16 games.'

Redskins TE Jordan Reed spent the offseason changing his off-field habits to help him stay longer on the field.

"It’s out of anybody’s control whether they get hurt or not," Reed said. "Anything can happen on any play. But it is in my control to make sure I’m doing extra to make sure I can stop the nagging injuries from getting worse."

That means altering his eating habits. Reed said he’s eating all healthy foods. That means: no bread, no fried food, (mostly) no sweets. Just grilled chicken or baked chicken. "Just real clean," Reed said.

That’s Part 1. The other part is stretching more. As Reed walked off the field this week, he carried a green elastic band that he uses during breaks on the sidelines, slipping it around his ankles for stretching exercises. He stretches three times a day, with more serious intent. "I used to stretch, but only a little bit before practice," Reed said. "Now I’m in the training room every chance I get. I’m in there at least three or four times a day, usually one of the last guys to leave the facility. Just making sure."

He’ll stretch, work on his quads and glutes. He wants to keep those areas strong to help prevent knee injuries. "I’m excited, I feel it will be a good year for me," Reed said. "I’ll be able to play all 16 games."

Fantasy Impact:

When healthy, Reed has averaged 10.5 fantasy points in PPR formats over the past two seasons. This extrapolates to low-end TE1 numbers and he's certainly a worthy start when he's healthy enough to play. Heading into camp, he said his knee feels great after an offseason stem cell treatment. His ADP is currently in the 13th/14th round, so he's a low risk pick. It's great to hear that he has focused on staying healthy this offseason.
