Josh Reynolds

Week 16 at Arizona Cardinals

Josh Reynolds caught five-of-12 targets for 70 yards in the Rams’ Week 15 loss to the Eagles. He had a 34-yard touchdown wiped off the board when he was ruled down just shy of the goal-line. The 12 targets are intriguing for fantasy owners, but Sunday night was the first time in three weeks that he’s finished with over 40 yards. With Jared Goff struggling the past three weeks, it’s unclear how Reynolds will factor into the game plan when the Rams visit the Cardinals on Sunday. Ranked as our WR33 for Week 16, Reynolds is a dart throw versus an Arizona defense that ranks 19th against fantasy receivers this season. While it might be tempting to play him given what Sean McVay’s offense has shown the past two years, keep in mind that Reynolds remains the No. 4 option in the passing game behind Robert Woods, Todd Gurley and Brandin Cooks.

Week 14 at Chicago Bears

Josh Reynolds was held to just two catches for 19 yards on five targets in the Rams’ Week 13 win over the Lions. Jared Goff struggled in this one, perhaps due to the bye week that L.A. had following its wild win over the Chiefs in Week 11. Nevertheless, Reynolds was a no-show following a huge night against Kansas City two weeks prior. Ranked as our WR34 for Week 14, view Reynolds as a WR4 when the Rams visit the Bears on Sunday night. L.A.’s passing game could struggle again and we would recommend looking elsewhere if you’re looking for a FLEX.

Week 11 vs. Kansas City Chiefs

Josh Reynolds was held off the score sheet last Sunday when the Rams beat the Seahawks in Week 10. That said, with Cooper Kupp now lost for the season with a torn ACL, Reynolds is the first man up to occupy the slot in Sean McVay’s offense. Ranked as our WR36 for Monday night’s potential shootout with the Chiefs, Reynolds is one of John Paulsen’s “sneaky starts” for Week 11.
